I don't like studying!

EDIT P.S. We're all having contest at work looking at our 401Ks and seeing who has lost the highest percent this year. It's kind of a running joke, because if you're not laughing, you're crying. I know there isn't much point to looking at your 401K too often when you're 26, and I know that we're all actually in good shape because we're buying low right now, but I can't stop looking. It's hilarious.

That is what prevents me from going for my masters.

Sure, there's a nice bonus to having it, but the idea of opening another textbook...um, no.

It sucks! I won't lie! XD You know what's up!

But the market had its largest increase in decades today!

And anyway, you know that in the long run, investments grow. It is a law of economics, or something.

At least you have a 401k!

I know that in a year or two, when the economy has recovered, I will be VERY pleased when all the shares I am buying now at cheap prices have skyrocketed back to their normal averages!

Last week, though, I hit -40%. One guy up the street was at, like, -55%.

Yikes, 55% means you need to look at what makes up your 401k, as it is not diversified. I think as of friday I was down 30, most of which I bet was erased on monday.

This is the biggest period of market fraud ever, so just be glad your investments really are long term and tha you aren't retiring right now.

I know, I kind of wanted to bat the guy over the head and be like "Where are you putting your money??"
