I hadn't thought of that before. Now if you could just wander over to www.myorganizedbiz.com and give ME some topic ideas to write about. :) Thanks so much for your advice and perspective, Miranda!

My IRA yield has slowed to a crawl. But I look at it this way: I can afford more shares now. So I'll have plenty more shares when the market recovers -- and that means more retirement $$$ in the long run.

Even with your disclaimer, this is great advice. "Don't freak out - even while everyone else is." :) The good news is, I have a great investment plan with T. Rowe Price. I'll sit back and let them handle it like I have all along. Good to bear in mind that I won't be yielding as high interest as I have over the last 5 years. But I'll breathe and remain calm. Retirement *is* a long-term investment, after all. Thanks! Hey, Miranda. Even with your disclaimer, this is great advice. “Don’t freak out – even while everyone else is.” :)
