Financial Planning

We're nowhere near the nitty-gritty yet, but in looking at the spreadsheet that I've kept for about 10 yers of long-range planning assumptions, we've made an interesting discovery.

Apparently, the last time that I updating the value of our 401k's in that spreadsheet was when the stock market was in a slump.  The market's somewhat stronger now. As a result, the current value is about 15% higher than the spreadsheet thought it was.

Now, this does not address the important question of short-term liquidity -- after all, that's where we live, day to day -- but it's definitely pleasant news.
