Had $850k in 1/2000
(...all right, about $200k of that was probably B.S., part of the Greedy Bubble that later burst). It's still pretty discouraging to see the numbers drop as much as they have. But, most of what we invested was for the for the long-term (retirement), and we're still 10 to 15 yrs away from that.
Only thing that's saved my sanity is the fact that we stopped putting new $$$$ in the market (except for 401K's )back in mid-2000; we decided instead to pay off the mortgage early. Mortgage will be paid of in one month, and we have $190k equity in the house now. After we burn the mortgage, we're socking away cash into CD's for at least a year.
Sounds like you've made some really wise decisions. Wish you great luck, and from seeing your strategeries :o) you will do fine. I wish we were in as good of shape as you guys are! Way to go!!
