I do not say you have to believe blindly. If you want you can consult other retirees or financial advisors until you get the obvious answer. The obvious answer to the obvious question. Now, for the obvious answer to the question is “as soon as you get your first job”. You get your first job in your early twenties. Don’t forget it is the beginning of your life. You may think, you can start your retirement planning in the thirties, but at that time you will get married and maybe you will have a child.

Checking in with dinosaurs in Jurassic World film
Scene from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Picture: Supplied Scene from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Picture: Supplied Here’s the good news: Mind you, this movie is pretty ridiculous and the script (from Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly) is not very clever - I found myself rolling my eyes almost as frequently as I found myself smiling with genuine delight. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will not stand up to rigorous scrutiny, and yet it’s kind of an enjoyable, preposterous and thrilling ride that ticks through nostalgia beats like a shopping list. It’s a little sad how in this era of industrial franchise filmmaking a three-year gap between films actually feels like quite a bit of time - or maybe it’s just a testament to how gruelling the past few years have been - but, hey, it did at least seem like the right time to check in with those dinosaurs again, although I worry that our emotional investment in Owen’s connection with a velociraptor … [Read more...] about Checking in with dinosaurs in Jurassic World film

Virtual reality at Tribeca: Don’t buy the hype? Try $40 for a timed ticket
Storytellers piqued by virtual reality's capabilities are throwing themselves headlong into a unfamiliar format, but the places they're screening their work are very familiar territory. The Tribeca Film Festival, which closed Saturday in New York, again brought together a selection of some of the most promising virtual reality being made. But Tribeca isn't alone. Film festivals in Toronto, Venice, Cannes and Los Angeles, plus South by Southwest in Texas and Sundance in Utah -- anywhere that filmmakers once flocked for the prestige of a festival screening, now offer curations of the best VR. VR may be one of the hottest trends in tech, but consumers haven't embraced the format nearly as enthusiastically as tech giants like Facebook, Google and Samsung have. Sophisticated virtual-reality headsets, and the computers to power them, can set you back hundreds of dollars. Or you can drop $40 on a timed ticket to see VR that even a headset won't buy you.

Raja Krishnamoorthi said the exiting Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan might be more “liberated” in dealing with President Donald Trump.“Dealing with President Trump is no walk in the park.
