Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you are able to enjoy a long weekend and spend time with friends and family.

If you have some down-time between the food and football (or just need an excuse to get away from that annoying cousin), here are some Wall Street Journal articles that I’ve been meaning to share.

Last week the Treasury Department announced the national launch of myRA (“my Retirement Account”), a new savings option for those who don’t have access to a retirement savings plan at their job.

myRA is designed as a starter retirement account for middle- and low-income workers that do not have access to an employer sponsored retirement plan and is intended to appeal to first-time savers.
