I took a haircut for approximately 1500 so far in the market during the last two weeks. I am in it for the long run though. Nutual funds and ETF index funds.
Gotta hope everything works out.
The Emergency Fund is up to 10 thousand. Now I can sleep at night and not get crazy. If sonmething comes up I'll use it. I continue to add 100 dollars a month to it.
Gas is getting crazy. I don't drive now unless I absoluely haave to do so! 3.19 a gallon is insane! Well what can you do.
I am not spending anything on most days. I hearken back to when I was a kid and had great fun without anything but lint in my pockets.
Nothing terrible has happened yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Market Down /Emergency Fund Full Again

I only have one "load" mutual fund. That is Fidelity Magellan. I got it because Peter Lynch was running it back in the late 80's!!
I sent them $1000 and they charged me $30 in loads.
I have kept it to use for comparison!
I put $970 in it, and it is worth over $5000, so I feel I am not really losing money unless it becomes worth less than $970!!
