Well, apparently I'm not as retarded with my money as I thought!

I finally met with a financial planner tonight. And I seem to be doing OK.

She says that I'm very frugal (thanks Dad!) and I have no debts and have gone in the right direction. Plus, I apparently look young!

So, now I have this money and these sort-of plans for life. And a decision to make about what to do with my money.

Her advice was pretty good - not just the "where to invest" stuff, either.

And next week Alex will be meeting her too, just to go over his situation and see where we stand together.

How cute. Our first couple-venture.
