Today I delved into the exciting world of long-term financial planning. First I went to a very helpful little seminar on 401(k) investment strategy, and came out feeling like I knew what I was doing. Then I spent some time on the enrollment website, and came away feeling more like I picked things out of a hat. It didn't help that it felt more like, say, playing Sim City than determining the course of my retirement. But since they told us that 90% or more of long term results are due simply to the rough breakdown, which I now have a reasonably good grasp of, it should be fine.
Besides, if it turns out badly in the end I can just restart and try again, right?
