Okay, so I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I think I might have money somewhere, maybe hundreds or thousands of dollars, that I have no idea how to access.

When I was in my 20s, I didn't really think about retirement. That was a problem for Future Me.

But now I am Future Me. I'm 35 years old, and I'm trying to figure out what happened to those retirement accounts for my early 20s.

My employers automatically enrolled me in them, or at least I think they did.

I don't know.

One night, not long ago, while lying in bed, I spent like an hour digging into this,

but because everything was saved under my old

work emails, I couldn't figure it out. And as I was going to sleep, I thought, surely, I can't be

the only one in this situation, right? So why don't I make an episode out of this? Maybe if I document

my process, it'll encourage other people to do the same. But apparently, even turning it into a work assignment didn't really help.

After I pitched this to my team, days passed, inertia kicked back in.

And soon enough, I found myself on a call with our producer Alice, who was gently laying

down the law.

You slapped me, are there any resources you're coming across about who I should call?

And what I was going to tell you is I think that that me telling you who you should call kind of defeats the purpose of me figuring this out on my own.

Why do you keep putting this off?

I just haven't been feeling great.
