I had a 401K before I got divorced. :r

I'm with you Dave, even though this is a long-term investment for me, I still cringe when I see my 401 take a hit.

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

Now you have a 200.5k :sl

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

No, I have my regular pension and a 000K, Dave. :r

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

I haven't opened one of the invoices for over a year now. Not even going to bother.

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

I have some fun with my 401, I have some money set aside that gets invested in IPOs, those are usually fun to watch.

Being young, mine is pretty aggressive. That and big blue does a pretty good job contributing. Overall its good, just takes some serious nose dives every now and again. I have an IRA setup as well that I have a bit more control over. South Africas and Malaysia are a booming area to invest.

I lost almost everything I had in mine a few years ago. I decided to pull the rest out, at that time, and pay medical bills. Glad I did and so are the Dr's. :D

:tpd: but I worked out a child support pre-payment plan with "my" half. Everybody won.

As far as investments go, if you buy low and sell high, you usually come out ahead.

I'm sure I am not alone in thinking that this girl is looking at the future value of her retirement investments.

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

Yep...I am too young (33) to be very concerned. I look about twice a year.

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

I dont have a 401K but i do have quite a few 601's... :r

Would that count??? :confused:

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

You could probably generate a pretty steady income selling them to Mac...

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

This thread is depressing!

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

You're never too young. The more you prep early on the better you are in the future:2

And then you can open a 401k for when you're retire you can continue buying more cigars

Not depressing.....just an eye opener

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

When ever the market takes I dive, I just pretend like my current 401K purchase shares are on sale. It eases the pain of the drop in total value.

Will you be my investment manager, Vinny? :D

Re: The I watch my 401k and investments thread
 

I rolled my 401k into an IRA when I retired. I went very conservative after years of being really aggressive. I find I'm sleeping a lot better now. ;)

For you, sure Dan
