Ramblings
Posted in Money by Christina on January 18th, 2008
I have to say that I am quite sadden by the badly the market is doing. I’m certainly not informed enough to really talk about it or gripe about it. Although I am sure the general public has the same sentiment. With the failure of subprime home loans, the increasing gas costs and of course the war, I’ve at least accepted that as part of the norm. I try not to gripe about gas costs because I have to put gas in my car and at this point there’s no other way around that. The subprime stuff doesn’t have an affect on me because Brian and I are smart enough to make good decisions. And there’s the war. I’m still not informed enough to make a comment on that, I guess I just don’t care.
The fact of the matter is, as I am beginning to closer attention to our household budget and money flow, I begin to see the affects the market does have on my daily life. Now I’m not saying I’ve never paid attentioned before, but I suppose it hits harder when you actually do look at the numbers.
Why am I rambling about this? I was looking at my 401K stuff, and noticed that the balance was a lot lower than what it started out to be when I first did my rollover. Apparently it went down 8.5% since the first of the year. How sucky is that.
Stupid market.
