I made the same miscalculation. I’m afraid I’m in for the ride. If I get out now, I’ll get bloodied.

I'm in the same boat. I have lost 10% of my retirement fund, and I just retired in July. Fortunately I will not need to touch my funds for another 5 years or more, so they should recover well before then. I hope.

Seniors didn’t recover from the 2008 crash where they lost up to a third. Low interest rates are killing them.

It’s your money but shouldn’t a retiree’s funds be in bonds or a safer place than a volatile stock market?
