Rima Grace

My name is Rima.

I have a quick question about an over-retirement account.

Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

I'm trying to see if I do have an account with you all.

Oh, really?

Do you know if I've ever had an account with you all?

Okay.

All right.

Well, thanks.

I appreciate it.

You too.

Bye.

Welcome to This is Uncomfortable.

I'm Rima Grace.

We have a thing we do on this show called This Week's Question, where we pose a question about our relationship with money and try to find some answers.

And this week, I'm getting a little personal because I want to know, how much money do I actually have in my old retirement accounts?

And why does my brain, and maybe yours too, avoid these kinds of financial chores that could seriously help us?

Okay, so even with Alice's help, I didn't have much luck.

I'm going to keep looking into it, but while I was on hold, I kept wondering how much of this problem is a me thing versus the system.

Because it kind of feels like it's built in a way that makes it really easy to drop the ball.
