retirement savings -- ha!

With stock markets plunging everyday and the economy in turmoil, sometimes I really have to wonder what I was thinking when I tried to save for retirement. I'd have more money if I'd have just stuffed my savings under my mattress. Fortunately, I'm not even close to retirement age, so I guess I'll just be "riding it out" as the experts say. Buckle up! Anyone else have similar thoughts?

I can't even bring myself to look. We have my Roth still in a money market account, so it's the healthiest of all of the accounts we have. Blah. I think I'll have to work until I'm 75...

I think this rocks for young spring chickens like myself. My retirement wasn't worth that much anyway, and the more it goes down, the more I can buy!
