Fractional Retirement

[wolfpackpilot]

I finally had the nerve to look at my 401K, wrong move!


Before I go off myself in the parking lot... I'm down 37.3% for the year. Is that about average for everyone else?

 

[hyper]

How the h@ll would I know? I have too many guns and I'm too scared to look!

Down 38.5% for me, although I've remained mostly in stock funds. My retirement time horizon is 15 to 20 years out so I see this recent downturn as a buying opportunity.

Or so I tell myself. :crying:

You mean the ones that had us up over 40% last year?

Funny how 48% down is a boat load more dinero than being up over 40%. One of the mysteries of mathematics. I need to be up 100% now to break even.

Down....too much to admit.

Well according to bonehead19.........

At least you can go up more than 100%. Nothing iritates me more than some moron local news-reader telling me that "oil prices have dropped over 200% since July."
