I realize that compared to many folks, I have no problems. I have a good job...for now, at least. I can pay my bills and save for retirement.

But boy, I can't wait to see the hit the old 401(k) takes tomorrow when the fallout from Lehmann Bros hits the financial fan.

As late as six months ago, I was seriously considering retiring from the day job. I would still have had to work, but was hoping that the writing income would bridge the gap.

Not gonna happen.

If I think of it as "401(k)" instead of "life's savings," it doesn't hurt as much. Doesn't mean I still wouldn't want to get those financial whizkids in a room and break out the bat with the nail in it.
