In This Issue: Meetup, Find Out About Recalls, Avoiding 401(k) Mistakes, RTF Holiday Cards

 

Meetup
In today's mobile society, it's sometimes tough to meet people. It's doubly tough to meet people who like to do the same things you like to do, especially when those things absolutely require another person, like playing sports or speaking a foreign language.

That's where Meetup comes in. With groups in different cities that focus on everything from Sanskrit practice to dodgeball, you're sure to find a whole new group of people to hang out with (and maybe a new interest or two).

 

Recalls
Sometimes it seems like something gets recalled every day, whether it's a car, a cell phone or even food. Not to mention the bogus reports you sometimes hear on the evening news about your kids' favorite toys being recalled, only to have it recanted the next day.

At recalls.gov, you can check to see what has actually been recalled, why, and see how to return any products you have that may have been recalled.

 

How To Avoid 401(k) Mistakes
We're all contributing the maximum we can to our 401(k) accounts, right?

Well, hopefully you at least have a 401(k) set up, if your employer offers it. But managing your account can be tricky business. Luckily, Yahoo! is here with some tips on avoiding the most common (and costly) mistakes.
