That’s a little too easy to say when you aren’t watching your retirement fund sucked down the drain.

Meh. My retirement fund is a 401k also, and I don’t dare look at it. Such is life. I’m going to watch for some good buying opportunities.

There is no sure bet. You’re on the wrong planet, perhaps the wrong universe, if you are looking for guaranteed security.

Your retirement fund (and mine) will be fine. WS is having a little temper tantrum that their big fat LIE to the American people didn't work. Our funds will be fine. The market is not down 700. That was total market manipulation to literally SCARE UP some yes votes. The markets will be fine and gas will be low. Credit will be hard to get if you've got bad credit (wow, shocking) and for those of us who have been responsible, life will go on.

I’ve already watched one retirement fund go down the drain. It was called “social security.” It went down the drain because the government was running it.

So now my other fund is tanking. At least if the market remains in the private sector, I can make a comeback with what’s left. Had it been taken over by the government in this bailout, I’d expect the same result as socialistic security.

My funds have lost 30% in the last few months and it's STILL pretty damned easy to say for me. Stop your belly aching and watchout for the country and your progeny rather than you pocketbook! Sheesh!

your retirement fund is sucked down the drain by inflation and $700 billion would create a lot of inflation.

I think a lot of folks on here cheering the failure of this bailout are worried about their retirement. For me, I would rather work my fingers to the bone until I die than to give my country over to socialism.

How close are you to retirement?

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger.

Suck it up and be glad we got the victory over socialism, fleeting though it might be.

The people on this thread who are saying they would rather have the stock market crash instead of voting for socialism I bet had nothing to begin with in the market.

I was not for the bailout bill in it's current form but something needs to be done.
