My 401k dropped 36% since Jan 2008. What bugs me is not that alarming percentage loss in a supposedly safe investment (my dad would likely say no investment is risk free) but the fact that I give $150 per paycheck to my 401k. That is $300 extra bucks a month I thought was a good idea to stow away for my future, and really I would have been better off to put it into my savings account. Had I done that I would be out of debt already and would not have suffered this loss.
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch!
