#Jeff@My Super-Charged Life→ Thanks Jeff. I hate to hear that about your Dad. Hopefully the market will turn around soon.

Like Patrick, I am investing for the long-term. I’m fortunate because still have 20 or 30 years until I reach retirement age. On the other hand, my dad is already retired and he is struggling a little because of the downturn in the stock market. He has had to get a part-time job as you suggest to help make ends meet. I guess it all depends on where you are at. Either way, these are some great suggestions.

#Patrick→ It still causes a little nervousness, but when you have a long term focus, you know it will correct. Looking back over the years, it's easy to see the few downs and the many ups, but no one wants to EVER experience the downs!

Great tips, Ron. I know my 401(k) and other investments have received a beating this year. I’m OK with that though. Since I invest straight from my paycheck, I end up buying more shares at the depressed prices. Now if this continues until I reach retirement age… well, then I’ll start worrying!
