I do remember that it took some time, but don't recall the exact timeline. If you are concerned don't hesitate to call Fidelity and ask for an update. That is what those rollover specialists are there for!<BR/><BR/>Hopefully it won't be too long now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17982517.post-1130958290878398782005-11-02T11:04:00.000-08:002005-11-02T11:04:00.000-08:00Hey Thinyi I checked out your ocbudget blogsite. I...Hey Thinyi I checked out your ocbudget blogsite. I'm learning something! I'm figuring out how to manage my finances too. <BR/><BR/>I'm not so knowledgeable about the investments and things like that. I guess I should read up on those more. My mantra is 'maximize earnings and minimize spending'. To minimize earnings, I try the 80/20 'rule' from computer science (80% of work is done by 20% of the system). Of course, it's not exactly like that, but what I'm trying to say is a big portion of the output is dependent on a small portion of the system. So, I try to find out where the big fishes are (eg for food, eating out is expensive) and try to find betters ways of managing them. For example, I'm planning to use http://www.dinnerbroker.com/ next time I'm thinking of checking out a nice restaurant (30% off!). <BR/><BR/>I also think little things can add up. Penalties, finances charges, etc can add up. If I'm not careful, I could lose hundreds of dollars in a span of one year. So I try to make sure I pay bills on time, and not use services beyond what I'm allowed in (eg cell phone service). I'd rather spend the hundreds of dollars in possible penalties (if I'm really careless) on things that improve quality of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
