How is your 401k going?

$100?

My financial consultant was on NPR last week. I've got friends on Wall Street. I've got friends basically every where in the financial sector. The ONLY thing that's doing well for me is my tax-free money market account and that's only because it didn't LOSE money this past month.

I find it hard to believe that any with $350k or more in the market since January 2008 hasn't lost a significant amount of money.

Dude, I'm not into e-bragging, so I'm not going to say exactly how much money it is. And I'm only 27. I haven't had a lot of time to rack up cash in the market. The only thing I will say is that it's over $50k. Not going into more detail than that.

Perhaps you and I simply have different perceptions of what constitutes "a little." Like I said before, I'm still WAY up compared to the amount of money I started investing with.
