Time Sure Does Fly

Welcome back.

It's sad to see the current state-of-affairs unfolding in our economy.

Overall, it's the mortgage-lending fall-out that has lenders feeling the squeeze and banks faultering on the verge of failure.

If this doesn't make your head spin along with the presidential race hitting the airwaves everyday, you're immune to the _______! (fill in the blank).

Personally, it bothers me that our financial infrastructure is collapsing......or is it?

Anyway, at my age, I've lived through the good and the bad. I would give this advice and say, "Make your own judgements and wise choices. Don't be steered by everything you see or hear."

I say this because I have a lot at stake in the financial market. I invest in a 401K and wouldn't have it any other way. I've invested since I started working for my company and surely I am taking full advantage of it. Why not!

I've vested over 5-years of my blood, sweat, and tears in the company and now they match dollar-for-dollar for every cent I invest. It's called matching.

It is, however, my fear that with the crap going on in the economy today I could loose my hard-earned cash. That's suppose to be my early, retirement fund.

Despite the ups-and-downs, I've seen fluctuations in my 401K that would surely have made your head spin.

What I did was absolutely nothing. I let time fly by and take its course. The market dipped, but came back up.

So, with that said just consider what I said above.

Goodnight :)
