Good Lord. I'm essentially all in VTSAX and VIIIX and even after maxing my 401K, IRA, and throwing about 10K in a personal account, my number at end of year is now pretty much the same as it was at the beginning of the year. I'm not going to sell because I feel like it's already past the point of no return and may as well hold on. I'm relatively young and don't plan to retire in the next 10 years, but it sure is disheartening to see that much gains and contribution go just poof. I've been working since 2002 and weathered 2008-2009 fine because I did not have very much money saved up during then and just continued investing. Now that I've spent more years working since then and have a sizable nest egg built up, it's depressing.
