Working Podcast Re-Launches as Jobacle.com

7 January 2007 at 1:53 pm

I’ve been a long-time fan of the Working Podcast and I’m now happy to hear that it has been re-launched after a period of time off. It has been described as the only career podcast on the Web that is by workers, for workers.

The Working Podcast relaunches as part of Jobacle.com. Alexander Kjerulf tells you why “Happy Hour is 9 to 5.” The gals from Make the Leap share 5 FRESH career resolutions for 2007. The Voice of Reason answers your workplace queries.

Listen to the latest episode! Listen for the SalaryScout plug around the 4 min 40 sec mark. Thanks Andrew!

Fortune: 10 rules for building wealth

4 January 2007 at 8:11 pm
As the New Year begins, retirement savings is something we all should be thinking about…don’t wait to get started.
More than any one stock or mutual fund pick, the age you start investing will determine how much wealth you build. To illustrate: Employee A starts putting away $100 a month when she’s 22. Her money grows at 8 percent a year, and after ten years she stops contributing - and lets her stake grow. Employee B waits until he’s 32 to set aside $100 a month, also growing at 8 percent a year, and he keeps it up until he hits 64. When they both retire at 64, she will have $234,600, and he’ll have only $177,400. Need we say more?
