If I lose much more in my "safe annuity" I'll have $10.00 for my old age. I also asked my financial guy to move it to more stable places when the dot coms fell apart. He did, but some is still in the market.
Luckily, I have a pension, will collect Social Security for as long as it lasts, and already bought my house. Except for wanting to leave it to my daughter, I don't really care if the mortgage ever gets paid off.
I feel for my daughter and SIL though. He's not working, and there are just no jobs up here. He's in the electrician's union but there are no jobs to fill. He always managed to find something, but with the economy like this, he's just not able to find work.
My feeling is that he will find something, but who knows when.
