I'm not gonna say how many dollars that is, but let's just say, it's more than a fistful. This is the first annual decline in my overall net worth since I graduated from college. I mean, 2001 was bad, but I've never seen anything <i>this</i> bad.<br/><br/>I read stories about the downturn, and I hear about friends losing their jobs. But, ironically, it never really felt <i>personal</i> to me until I ran the numbers.<br/><br/>Still, I'm optimistic that if I carefully start putting money back in the stock market, I'll be able to recover most of those losses within a year or two. Maybe this time I'll actually catch the next wave at the right time. Green tech, perhaps?<br/><br/> Ken Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:34:22 +0000 http://realkato.com/blog.php?pid=1481
