Great days of fuel prices

Has anyone looked at their 401k since gas prices have fallen?!? I could buy you all a tank of gas with the money I've lost in the last month and still have enough left over to finish my car. I'll take higher gas prices now over eating peanut butter when I retire.

The nice thing about the 401k is the money your putting in now while everythings depressed tends to buy you more shares for the dollar spent. So when everything goes up, guess what your 401k shows more.

Also as long as you resist the urge to pull it all out right now and ride it out, you havent lost anything. You have lost value per share of your investments, but not the shares themselves. This is cyclic, things will go back up.

I am taking the opportunity now to load my 401k while the value of everything is depressed.

Just a thought
