Dear Dave, I don’t like admitting this, but I absolutely hate my job. Last year I almost cashed out part of my 401(k) to start my own business or open a franchise, and doing something like this is still on my mind. Considering how I feel, do you think this would be a good idea?

Happy February! One of our nurses said she was happy to see January gone, as it meant one less winter month. We have lots of fun things planned for February, even though it is a short month. A few things planned are a Valentine’s Day party. We have a few craft projects that look like fun.
