Yes. The concept of the article was good. The actual article was not.

I think I pretty much learned that health insurance is expensive. Another insight came from one couple who discovered that they should put away some extra money for large one-time expenses, like a new roof.

Informative, perhaps, to the vast majority of folks who haven't given a moments thought to retirement finance. But hardly worth the time of anyone who has spent more then a couple of hours on these boards.
