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.

::shudder:: I hadn't even thought of that. We took a major loss to our kids college funds this weekend. This thing hit the insurance industry too. And I have to wonder about the timing of the collapse. It happens the day a hurricane submerges half of Texas...
