Proglodytes don't have IRAs.

It's too hard to spell.

DUmmies shouldn't have retirement accounts.  Their money should go to the government to be given to those less fortunate than they.  It is utterly selfish for a DUmmy to save money for their golden years when there are poor people who need the money.

13. I didn't vote, since I have a 401k but no idea where the money is invested

Presumably the stock market?

Wow.  Just wow.

15. I don't know, but you should find out, I think.

It's good to know where your money is, I think.

Don't know if Mineral dude is making fun of his fellow DUmmy or being serious...they're so stupid it's hard to tell.

47. I have a "personal pension" which is another name for an IRA...

But the investments are very diverse. Everything from mutual funds to stocks to precious metals to private equity and property. So far, I'm a very happy man!
