How will my voluntary contributions to the 403(b), 457(b) and DC Plan After Tax Plans be impacted by the furlough plan?

If your voluntary contributions are made as a percentage of pay, they will be reduced. Contributions that are made at a flat rate (for example, $100 per month) will not change. Employees can change their contribution elections at any time, subject to payroll and processing deadlines.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
