We’re going to try to fly home again today. Hopefully the weather holds out; after three weeks of vacation we’re ready to get home! I have stuff that needs to get done… as soon as I get home, I need to switch my contributions from my traditional 401k to my long awaited new Roth 401k!
The Credit Card Debate Lives On
Welcome to the readers from MSN where our credit card debate was featured! Following the debate, Lynnae cut up her credit cards. There was also a lot of discussion about debit cards. For all the debit card users out there Gather Little By Little tells us what to do if one gets stolen.

Hopefully you will get home without any problems this time! I’m pretty excited because our company just announced they are going to offer a Roth 401(k) option pretty soon. (they didn’t give the exact date yet). Guess where my contributions are going ?
