The money I saved for the past 15 years for my kids' college has been evaporating at a disgusting rate.
Daughter quit UT, but is living at home so that damage has been mitigated. Still going to college locally.
Son wants to go to pre med at Texas A & M. This is gonna be fun.
Both my 401k's are in a shambles.
On my third job since I retired from the navy, have not enjoyed any of them.
Money is OK for now. The economic brakes hit our area just as a few growth areas were looking promising. It's now in stasis.
As to a different fund I had as a contingency. it too took a face shot, though not as bad.
I stopped travelling, but I had lost interest in that a while back.
My brothers and sister are all OK, my ono siste in law who I worry about is fine, at the moment.
Can't sell the house, as our market was never strong. It's worse now.
So, I am trapped at the moment, but I have a job and a well stocked liquor cabinet.
