So this is one of those posts that is not about web development, but instead focuses on personal finance. More specifically I want to talk a little about planning for your retirement. You’re likely a far ways off (I’m like 35-40 years away myself) but getting this stuff setup now will be really beneficial later and you’ll be super stoked you got it taken care of.
Now you might be saying “but I don’t have any extra money to set aside for retirement!”. That is valid concern. However, as a first step you just need to get something in place. The biggest hurdle is getting something setup. Once you have your system in place, you’ll be way more likely to contribute – and once you set this up to be automatic you won’t even miss the money. You need to start early so your investment returns can pile up over the next 30 to 40 years.
MooTools core has a bundled method $$() – also referred to as dollars – that selects and extends DOM elements. This is a very powerful function and will allow you to select 1 or more DOM elements using some pretty clever tricks.
