Po'

I would like to point out that this poor ass woman who can't take care of her kid (OBVIOUSLY) just opened up a Roth IRA today. 

The old company I worked for was selling off the pension plans for eligible employees, and I opted for the cash-out.  Some of it I kept, yeah, for house remodeling and possibly taxes (because there'll be a penalty and then MN will want their cut), but I reinvested most of it.  I'm not even going to consider that it exists.  It is "free" money, it is for retirement, and I will probably add to it over the years.

Yeah, I fail at providing for my son and for the future.  All the way.
