We had layoffs at my job last Friday. With the economy in the early stages of a full meltdown, I’m probably going to be forced to draw money from my 401k to pay rent these coming months.

In the back of my mind I’m thinking about how my retirement contributions are probably headed into oblivion. The likelihood of The Economy™ not taking its final shit before I’m at retirement age seems to be decreasing rapidly. At some point the people who liquidated their retirement accounts will turn out to be the smart ones.
