Reactionary

My 403 (b) plan is now worth less than I’ve put into it.

That is fantastic.

With that on top of Bank of America lying about their loan requirements (they actually require 15% down now rather than the 10% that’s printed on all the ads), the Dow taking its biggest plunge ever, my having to cram for the PALS test tomorrow as if I were suddenly in school again, and hating everything I own since it’s all old, ill-fitting and worthless, I thought I’d drink a little.

What? You’re smiling? Maybe you should drink a little.

With PALS, French, health law, mortgage applications, closing requirements, condo docs, and work things I keep signing up for like a deranged Girl Scout, I am completely losing my mind and all abilities to cope. Here’s to ETOH.

Link Preservation: Kiplinger on “10 Things That Will Change.” This is why I feel I have to buy now. It will be harder to make that 20% down with inflation being so high and having to contribute huge pre-tax amounts to retirement and investment accounts. Saving cash is too 1950′s and much, much too hard and expensive.
