I am going to rename my 401k pension plan to a 201k

I peeked at my 401k today through online banking...

My third-quarter 401(k) statement will arrive any day now.

I wonder if they'll send it in a teeny-weeny envelope. It's going to be lighter than usual, and thinner — say, by 30 percent or so. I'll probably need a microscope to look at it. So I'm not going to. I'm not even going to open it. I'm just going to shove it in a drawer. I won't check my progress — or lack of it — on the Web. My online account is off-limits. I've already seen the accounting of my assets in my nightmares: One hot plate. One can of Alpo.
