  • Confused and looking for a little advice.?

    Hello, I am a 31 year old women who did not see herself settling down until retirement, which would be around 42 years old or a little later because I am in the military. I have always had high paced jobs and I had planned to keep the same career path, and then I met a wonderful man who is 30 years old and also never been married.

    When he asked me to marry him it would be a shot gun wedding so that we could stay together. Yes we are one of those couples, but it seemed like the right thing to do.

    However, we were not able to stay together and now we are both heading to a job that does not offer any real hope of advancement. Back to the slow pace world for me and I am kind of resentful because of it. yes, I knew it could happen, but I thought he would work with his chain to stay at our current location.

    Anyways I am sitting at my duty location now which is about 8,000 miles away if not more from my husband feeling trapped and feeling depressed, lost and unsure of my future. I am not in a location where I can go down town looking for help, and I don't trust the places on base. One bad report about depression and my future job options may be limited. I don't know what I am looking for...maybe encouragement, advice, a slap in the face telling me to get over it. I have never been in this situation before, I was always able to run and that is what my basic instinct it now.

    Ahh SIGH> Those who love to be married must be masochist!!

  • I have a broken Ulna and it is not healing!?

    It has been over 2 months since I broke the bone, and calcification is not occuring along the injured portion. I have increased my calcium intake by drinking more orangre juice, and taking multi-vitamins. Can someone tell me a good place to find more info? My doc is talking surgery, and that scares me. I am a healthy 30 year old woman, so why am I not healing?

  • Should I put money in my savings account or in my retirement accounts?

    I currently have about $7600 in my savings account, and once I reach $10,000 my bank will jump my interest up to approximately %5. Once I hit $10,000 I would then open a second savings account and split the money, and put some into a personal one for vacations and fun stuff, and the rest into my "savings account"

    However, I am getting advice to keep doing what I am doing. I currently put $1000 into savings, $333 into my Roth, $250 into a mutal fund, and $289 into my Thrift Savings Plan, the military form of a 401K that is not matched by the government.

    So should I stop putting money into my other accounts, until I hit $10,000, and then slowly build back what I would have been putting in, or just keep the same split that I currently have?

    Thanks in Advanced
