retire early

wow, is my 401k down. I’m only 25, so there’s no real concern as far as needing the money soon, and I know I’m buying on sale, but I can only laugh when I look at my year to date return.

So I keep adding money, but the value doesn’t really change with the down market. At least the number of shares I own is going up, but I would like to see the market recover some more.

I’m now contributing 15% of my income. Up until a few months ago, it was only 6% (to get the maximum company match) but I’ve completed some other goals and am ready to increase this now.

I suppose there are advantages to buying low! but I’m not seeing my balance increase.

It’s not major, but my 401k is on its way.

another 1000 mark has been reached.

so, I’m down below the last 1000 mark due to stocks going down, but this can be a good thing. The contribution from this weeks’ paycheck will get to “buy low” and that’s good. Plus I’m still showing positive. and I’ve got about 40 years before my 401k’s daily balance matters anyway.

another 1000$ has been reached

my 401k passed another 1000 mark!

company match really helps. My 401k is really taking off.

this seems like a fantastic retirement opportunity. I would love to volunteer.
