I've had the several relevant articles in this collection written up for a couple weeks, but somehow kept not getting around to uploading them to the blog. But I have a "free" day today, so it was on my to-do list. The other main thing on my to-do list today is to contact the financial services company that has my 401K and start getting things arranged for my retirement income. It is not a comfortable time for this process. The instability of the markets mean that the balance in my 401K has been fluctuating wildly.
