Hi, I'm Michele

[Michele]

I am a freelance writer and have had quite a few articles published on financial topics, particularly investing.

I am looking for comments from individuals for a magazine article I am currently writing on the life stages of retirement planning. Have you suffered a hit in your 401K or other retirement plan? Have your retirement plans been affected and what do you plan to do about it? I would also like to know at what stage you are in retirement planning -- very young, mid-career, or near retirement.

If you would be interested in being quoted in the article, I would have to talk to you directly rather than just taking information off the message board. Please feel free to e-mail me directly.

Thanks! I appreciate any input.
