+==== Investing ====
+  * Have $420k in something that maintains against inflation (moneymarket?)
+    * This is a 4 year $100k/year buffer to ride out any down turns in the market
+  * The rest in stocks
+    * For now 2x as much in Europe as the USA because reasons
+==== Withdrawl ====
+  * Extract 6% per year during normal times
+  * If market is going down, extract from your $420k buffer and let the stocks ride it out
+====== 401k ======
-Your 401k is your best friend.  (I liken this to my mana vault)

   * 2008 401k Contribution Limit: $15,500
   * Loan repayment from money you've borrowed from your 401k does **NOT** count towards your yearly contribution limit. (according to our HR person at [[http://www.ssaihq.com|SSAI]] on 2007/12)
+  * You are DOUBLE taxed on any money you pay back via a loan... because you're paying into your 401k with post tax dollars, and then you get taxed again when you extract it (retire).  OUCH!
