My problem with retirement is that it feels like I have SO MUCH money saved, but yeah, no. I've been increasing my contribution with my salary, though, so I guess it'll all work out.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, and I guess part of it is also somehow the fact that I've been saving for 10 years but still have THIRTY to go doesn't really hit me. Like, if I keep saving like I have been the past year (rather than the eight or nine years before that), I'll have plenty. Because 30 years is a long-ass time (OMG how can I work 30 more years??)

Oh yeah, also that -- good news/bad news, I am not yet halfway through my career!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have H's 401k I need to roll into mine, and like $30 in my state employee retirement account that just amuses me. I think it's doubled since I've had it, which would be awesome if it was more than $15 to start with. Once I decided that if I end up broke and homeless that's okay this stuff stresses me out maybe less than it should, in the sense that I don't do anything about it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That reminds me, I need to roll over ~$200 from a 401k with a job I left eight years ago into my IRA. I'm off today, so I can sit on hold for a while.

I am having probably foolish thoughts about buying the house my sister lives in. It's not in great shape, has an awesome location and yard, and it's a duplex. She lives upstairs and we could move my dad in downstairs.
It went on the market today, at less than I expected, so it's right at the point that it could be feasible. (20 k either direction would make it an easy call. As it is I'm torn.)
