Yahoo!: Are You Saving Too Much for Retirement?

While sifting through all the headlines this morning, I came across a couple of eye-brow raisers and a few which provoked some sarcastic and/or cynical thoughts. Instead of letting them fester, it is better to let them out and get them of my chest.

Take the one used as the title of this post for instance; of course we are saving way too much for retirement. The way things are headed, we may never taste the pleasure and luxury of being a retiree. Hence, every penny saved is one too many.

She either didn't like it, but was afraid to say so, or it truly was an accident. In case of the latter; yup, fecal matter happens and I hope they have a septic tank and can recover it.
