In retrospect, it looks like I made a smart decision last year to borrow against my 401(k) account by selling off part of my bond portfolio.

Any changes in the law that adversely affect my 401(k) account might seriously tempt me to default on the loan and go live in the mountains.

When this all settles down a bit, I think we might sell our house, cash in the 401k and head for the hills somewhere, too, somewhere off the electric grid, where we don’t have to see another soul, if we don’t want to.
