Holy Crap with the stock market and the rest of America. Please get the bad man out of the White House and don't replace him with another bad man. I have heard the recommendation that instead of putting money into your retirement plan you should be putting it in your savings account for the time being. I would have to say I agree. Between my husband and myself we have taken a SUBSTANTIAL hit with our retirement accounts and were down a collective $7,000 as of yesterday. That's four months off our retirement "life" in payments. I don't even want to know what someone who has been saving as they should have since 21 is facing. I am stopping that and paying off credit cards and loan payments as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, hubs is committed since he is in a cafeteria plan and has no other expenses that he can use the extra money for. I hate Bushes! Have a great day and vote when it's time!
