Touch my 401(k) and there’ll be HELL TO PAY!.......

You still have some of it left????

LOL.

Mistakenly opened my mutual fund annuity statement [I use part of this fund to pay part of my utilities]. It is down nearly 50% so far just this year.

I moved most of my money market to "high rate" CDs.

I had to laugh. Those "high rates" are in the range of 4% to 4.5% for 12-24 months.

Ironically, 12 years ago, money market accounts that paid 8% were considered to be low-average rates of return.

How times have changed.
