• Time is running out for you to make contributions to your 401(k) for the year; don't lose out on any matching money your employer contributes.
• The money in your flexible health spending account might be approaching its use-it-or-lose-it date.
• Check your portfolio to make sure market movements haven't thrown your mix of investments out of whack.
• Think about taxes and how you can cut your bill to Uncle Sam.
