Well, I had always encouraged Pam to contnribute to her IRA or whatever retirement system that she had at work. Today we realized the importance of that. Since the amount in her account was less than some magic figure, she can't leave it there. She has to either take it in a lump sum, or roll it over. If we take it as a lump sum, we have to pay taxes on it, and we get nuked another 10 percent, but we at least have some extra money to pay bills while Pam continues to look. Two interviews so far, two rejections
cause she doesn't now enough java.

*sigh*
