Every week I run into a few articles that I feel are especially valuable, so each Monday I plan to share some of the best with you, my readers. I hope you find them helpful.
This week’s favorites include an explanation as to why your hospital is always full, when is it OK to pull money from your 401(k) to pay off debt, cool money facts, such as 60% of people under age 34 have pulled out money from their retirement plan, how to invest a $50K windfall, and what retirement really looks like for physicians.
Happy reading!
