We're all doomed to work until we're 70+ it seems.
There's a lot of noise about the size of the drops, but frankly, the best thing is NOT to look and total up. If your asset allocation strategy is sound, look at where we were in 2002 vs late 2007: there are easily visible trend lines, and the market is doing what it always has.
