My 401-k has been up and down lately, but I am happy to report that my rate of return since I opened it (from Feb 28th 2007 to today) is 14.25%! This is from investing in Fidelity International Discovery Fund. I wish my Roth IRA Web site would tell me rate of return like that so I can easily track it.
Also, I started doing freelance Web work for my father-in-law’s small business this weekend. I worked a total of 8 hours this weekend and will work more this week and probably every Saturday for a while. Just this weekend alone I earned a tad more than $200. I’m hoping to use the money from this ongoing project to kill off the credit card we opened for the Europe trip, have money to invest and save, and possibly invest in a new computer and software to allow me to do more freelance work from home.

That is a good idea especially if you are young. By making more deposits while you are young you will be far ahead when you get older.
