I don’ think life insurance other than the minimum automatic coverage from your employer is wothwhile for a single person in their 20′s.

If you are going to get a hybrid car, do so early in 2006 if possible. The new tax credit for them is not a year long credit, but one that gets phased out after a company sells 60,000 cars. For some companies, this may take some time, but with companies like Toyota, they will probably reach this mark in the first quarter.

Orman once worked as a financial advisor in the office where I work now. The folks who worked with her back then don’t have much good to say about her. But she sure sells a lot of books!

Regarding limits on 403(b) contributions, I’ve noticed that most sources
don’t detail a special case. Some people are allowed to contribute a total
of $42,000.00 to their 403(b) accounts.

The details are in IRS Publication 571. Basically, if your 403(b)
contributions are composed of both non-elective and elective deferrals,
you can take advantage of the rule to sock away more of your after-tax
dollars. This maximum includes employee and employer contributions,
and of course anything above $15,000.00 must be using after-tax dollars..

So if you have a 403(b) and your employer contributes a certain amount
regardless of whether or not you contribute, you might want to run through
the calculations to see if you’re one of those people who are allowed
to contribute a large chunk of your after-tax paycheck toward your
retirement fund.
