I finally went to the bank and asked about how to withdraw my matured Roth IRA and move it into Vanguard. I won't break any account minimums, apparently, so yay!
I also called Vanguard, and opened a Roth IRA account there. Right now, the money is earmarked for the Target Retirement 2050 Fund, but I might change it.
Tomorrow, I'm getting the check for the Roth IRA from the bank, and I will have to go to the post office to mail it to Vanguard.
If the post office loses this check, there will be hell to pay. 
I also did some minor grocery shopping today, at the HK grocery.
- 2 boxes of tofu: $1.15/each
- 1 dozen eggs: $0.99
- mushrooms (at $1.89??): $1.27
- total: $4.56
All in all, not a bad day. I still have so much more to do, though. I'll feel much better once everything gets set up and settled down.

I seem to remember that you can set up electronic deposits with Vanguard on the Vanguard website.

Broken Arrow: Thanks!
LuxLiving: It's in a fixed term CD, earning a set interest rate. The rate is abysmal, hence I'm pulling them out. I can't retire off of an IRA that's barely keeping up with inflation!
