$1 Million Doesn't Cut It for Retirement
Conventional wisdom says you need to save $1 million for retirement. | That target may be easy to remember, but it falls short of the true cost of what's required for post-career comfort.

House health-care vote Sunday may hinge on abortion issues
By Lori Montgomery and Paul Kane Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, March 21, 2010; A01 | House leaders decided Saturday to stage a vote on the Senate's health-care bill, dropping a much-criticized strategy of allowing lawmakers to "deem" the landmark legislation into law. But the outcome of that vote remained in doubt as a pivotal bloc of Democrats continued to withhold its support over fears that the bill would open the door to the federal funding of abortion.
