I've got a lender I'd like to sic him on! I recently heard about a friend of a friend who was debt-free/cash-heavy and was considering buying a Porsche. He could have paid cash for it but did the responsible thing and passed it up. When the stock market crashed the next day, he was bemoaning the fact that he just lost more money in the stock market than he would have if he'd just bought the Porsche. Ouch! So...um, good job on buying the TV, I guess? LOL. Let me know if that Chris Hansen thing takes flight. I’ve got a lender I’d like to sic him on!

I have lost so much money in a short period of time, should I take my money out. The answer to that question is a definite "NO." This is the worse thing that anyone can do. Why take your money out when you are already at a lost instead of paying a cheaper premium for the investments and then having them grow larger in the long term. Retirement savings is just that, retirement. You should never touch your retirement account unless you are adding to it or increasing your distributions.
