Yesterday, softlykarou accidentally woke me up while she was looking for something in our bedroom before she left for work, and it took me a while to get back to sleep.

...neither of which I'm particularly happy about.

My employeer does not offer matching contributions to a 401K. It does offer a lump sum as a percentage of yearly salary, though, but it's anywhere from 1-3%, which isn't that great ( Read more... )
