I Knew I Shouldn't Have Looked...

With the current market conditions, I've tried to avoid looking at my 401k account or my stock account.

I totally caved today.

Holy shit - my 401k account has gone down nearly $10k IN 2 WEEKS. Fuck me!

P.S. I know I've been a bad blogger. I'll catch with everyone soon!

No, no you should not have looked. Ouch. Hope it bounces back!

I wish my 401(k) only went down $10K. I think it went down that much between 2 and 3 o'clock.

Yeah, my husband has been obsessively checking his, and OUCH. Good thing we're not gonna be retiring quite yet, huh?

Mine was down 50% at one point. I haven't looked at it since.

Maybe someone will bring back pension funds. Or maybe it'll start being super cool to be a megastore greeter by the time we get old enough to retire. Hopefully, though, the market will bounce back.

Don't look! Don't look! Luckily, you have a long time to ride this out.
