As you are a librarian, I know you make at least as much as a Wal-Mart stock clerk. And if you're like me, you probably have most of your money invested in collectible Pez dispensers and Hot Wheels cars. If so, you're confident your investments are secure and sleep well each night knowing you've done the best you can to prepare for your retirement. I own one of only three known Alice B. Toklas Pez dispensers. Yeah, I know, cool.
Seriously, some people actually own real estate. Ha!
With the economy the way it is, you never know if your local bank is going to fail (yeah, some people still put their money in banks, crazy, I know). If you're concerned about your savings, take a look at the Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE). But if you belong to a credit union, you need to look here.
The fact is, you need to make sure your money is safe. So if you're interested in a near mint "Who Shot J.R.?" Pez of Larry Hagman, with bullet hole, send me an email. That baby is classic.
