Have you ever woken up one morning and realized that you haven't had a haircut since August? And then you check your mail and there's a letter from the IRS that insinuates that maybe you forgot to report some of your income from 2007 and now you owe lots of money?* And then you realize that your attempt at political humor was so pedantic that even your six year old cousin made the Kenneth/Bobby connection? And work blows serious donkey balls, but you can't talk about it because it's all confidential and shit? And then you check your 403(b) just for shits and giggles, but end up sobbing? And your deadbeat, college dropout brother has been MIA for weeks causing your mother to have a slow, drawn out series of mini nervous breakdowns punctuated by terrible cell phone reception? Also, you have a denti$t appointment in the morning, which will undoubtedly lead to a crown and public drooling.
All I've managed to do to mitigate any of this is to make an appointment to get my hair cut that I can't afford because of the taxes I owe.
*The best part about this is that I forgot to report severance pay. It's not like it was anything exciting like a salary or lottery winnings.

Yes, no, no, yes, no, no, no.
maybe?
Well, look at it this way. At least you qualify for a cabinet seat now.
Don't worry about the 403(b). You aren't even thirty yet, so you've got more than thirty years for the market to rebound. In the meantime, what you invest in it now is picking up cheap stocks that will grow more in the long term. Can you tell I'm a CPA?
