Every day there's news of whether the stock market is up or down. I may as well be reading whether I've lost massive amounts of money in my 401(k) or managed to gain back some of what was lost previously.
A few weeks ago when I was home for my cousin's wedding a bunch my aunts and uncles were talking about how they can't bare to look at their 401(k) statements anymore. They said it's just too troublesome.
Some of them are only a few years out from retirement, so I can imagine they must really be nervous.
I looked at mine the other day and it was just depressing. I guess I'm lucky though because I have many more years of money accumulating before I get anywhere close to retirement.
What about you? Have you been looking at your 401(k) lately?
