时间：2019-02-08 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Paulina: Did you get your Social Security statement? I just got mine in the mail. If I keep working at this rate for the next 20 years, between Social Security and my savings 1, I should be sitting pretty for retirement 2.
Carlos: Yeah, I should be okay when I retire, too. I’ve been contributing to a 401(k) through my work for years, and my company gives a matching contribution.
Paulina: Really? I never bothered with a 401(k).
Carlos: A 401(k) really adds up over time. I also have an IRA, which is tax-deferred, and I have my money in a portfolio 3 that is split between stocks and bonds. All of these investments are for the long haul, of course. How about you? What’s your retirement plan?
Paulina: I have money stashed 4 away in a nice little nest egg.
Carlos: Where do you have your money invested?
Paulina: It’s safe and sound, don’t you worry.
Carlos: [Laughs] You make it sound like you have it stashed under your mattress 5.
Paulina: A mattress is a very safe place for your money!
