If you haven’t noticed, the movement to legalize marijuana has picked up steam in the past couple of years, with states passing medical marijuana bills with overwhelming support across the country. And now organizations like NORML are making commercials like this one to keep things moving forward.
If you ask me, it’s obvious that marijuana will be legalized – the evidence for the benefits of that on our society are too strong. Not that everybody should smoke weed all the time – just like everybody shouldn’t drink all the time – but that we as a people are being punished for using a plant that is less harmful than McDonald’s, and that MUST stop. If you want to be on the winning team with this one, now’d be a good time to jump onboard. (Not that you aren’t taking a bong hit right now, anyway.)
For all you recent college graduates entering the workforce, I realize that “Start Thinking About Your Savings” might be the lamest piece of advice uttered to you since, “Wow! There Is No Way You’re OK To Drive Right Now”. But I promise you, in both instances you’ll be very happy in the pants that you heeded both warnings.
First off, let’s take a little look-see at the financial future of our country. The way things are going, the idea of ‘Social Security benefits’ will be non-existent in the year 2041. Whoopsies! Therefore, if you’re 21 years-old right now, you’ll be royally screwed with a good few years to go before retirement age.
With medical advancements going the way they are, Super-Future-Year-2041-Viagra will be alarmingly good. And hot cougar retirees will be friskier and hotter than ever. Better have a little something put aside, if you want a piece of that ‘retired and ready to bang’ tail.
But forget about that for a second (if the imagery isn’t permanently burned into your brain already). The real point here is how saving just a little now, as I’ll demonstrate, gets you a lot more in the long run.
