Hi George, yeah it's scary. The DOW turned around a little bit, was even up for a few minutes, now started down again. It's a wild ride if you're watching it.
Oil is down to $83/bbl.
I think I can still retire by 85 y/o.

it all depends on how much retirement money you have (or had) in the market....

I am far enough away from retirement to ride it out without too much concern, but I feel for those who are at or near retirement. Lots of people are postponing retirement.

i have all my retirement in stocks, i dont even want to know how much it has gone down, i know the $ amount is as much as some of you other guys but it still is a good chunch of change. but i have about 32 years till i want to retire. so i keep putting money in it and buying more stocks every month lets hope it turns around soon and gets back up in the next few years....

My biggest fear in all this is inflation. I remember vividly the Carter years and how retirement savings were affected.
