WTF

Does Dsquared2 try to bring back Acid-wash jeans ? I had a pair when I was 15 and got rid of it as soon as I realized it was hideous.

Where Will Life Take You?

I guess, to Louis Vuitton stores...
For the first time in its history, Louis Vuitton will appear on television and cinema screens from February 15, 2008 with a 90-second film that breaks new ground for a luxury brand. Directed by Bruno Aveillan and soundtrack composed by Gustavo Santaolalla.

Another question....does Louis Vuitton need to advertise the brand ???

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire


If you are one of those (including myself) who love to shop and don't have any money left to save, it's not too late to start now. Here is how you can be a millionaire by the age of 65.


HOW TO SAVE A MILLION AT AGE 25

You've Saved: $0
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $286 per month.
- Contribute enough to your company 401(k) plan to capture your employer match. If you don't have a retirement plan at work, fund an IRA.
- You'll be investing for 30 years or more, so you can afford to keep 100% of your account in stocks.
- Pay down credit cards and other high-interest debt. That will free up money to save for a house.
- Set up an emergency fund equal to three to six months of take-home pay. Stash it in a readily accessible account in an online bank that pays interest of 4% or more.

HOW TO SAVE A MILLION AT AGE 35

You've Saved: 0$
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $671 per month.

If You've Saved: $50,000
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $304 per month.

Successful Savings Strategies
- You may be starting a family or preparing to buy a home. Balance you short-term needs with long-term savings goals.
- Although you have added responsibilities, don't neglect retirement.
- Aim to save 15% of your gross income (including an employer match in your 401(k). If one parent leaves work to care for the kids, consider opening a spousal IRA.
- Shift your assets to 90% stocks and 10% bonds.
- Invest in a 529 college-savings plan. Many states offer a tax deduction for your contribution, and qualified distributions are exempt from federal taxes.

HOW TO SAVE A MILLION AT AGE 45

You've Saved: 0$
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $1,698 per month.

If You've Saved: $50,000
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $1298 per month.

If You've Saved: $100,000
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $861 per month.

Successful Savings Strategies
- You may be juggling the needs of a growing family and aging parents, but don't take a break from retirement savings.
- You can contribute up to $15,500 to a 401(k) or similar workplace-based retirement plan this year or $5,000 to an IRA. Roll over retirement savings from previous jobs into an IRA.
- Adjust your asset allocation to 80% stocks and 20% bonds.
- Your kids can get grants or loans for college, but there's no financial aid for your retirement. Don't put your kids' college costs ahead of retirement.

HOW TO SAVE A MILLION AT AGE 55

You've Saved: 0$
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $5,466 per month.

If You've Saved: $50,000
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $4,859 per month.

If You've Saved: $100,000
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $4,253 per month.

If You've Saved: $200,000
- To reach one million by age 65 you need to save $3,040 per month.

Successful Savings Strategies
- Take advantage of your peak earning years to top off your savings.
- Add an extra $5,000 in catch-up contributions to your 401(k) savings and an extra $1,000 to your IRA.
- As you near retirement, reallocate your portfolio to 70% stocks and 30% bonds.
- Estimate your retirement expenses and your projected income. If you're coming up short, consider working a few more years.
