My mother sure dodged a bullet pulling her 401K back in 2008.

I took that bullet in 2008, stayed in and have a full magazine today. I know people who bailed in 2008 and are still working and scraping by. That 1% interest rate sure keeps a person ahead of inflation.

Oh gosh....and had she left it in there she would have a ton more money today. Whatever losses we suffered in 2008 have more than replaced those and then some. I am much wealthier today then I was in 2008 and that is because of the money I am making in the stock market.

“My mother sure dodged a bullet pulling her 401K back in 2008.”

Did she get back in?

Before the dip: Dow 11,000
Present: 18,000

For those that stayed in we are up 60%.

I lost heavily after 9/11 and 2008. I still have made out great thanks to my thrift savings plan which is similar to an IRA or 401K.
