Answer 1

When dealing with large amounts of money always seek advice from a professional.  You don't have to take the advice, but you should definately listen.

Answer 2

Well, that certainly was an expensive lesson.  But at least you still have a job, don't you?  Think about all the ex GM employees who now can't even afford to fill up the tanks of their Chevy Suburbans and can't afford their mortgages on their McMansions either.
