My 401k is also in the tank. I always tell myself not to look at it, then look. Then I get pissed. Then I get over it.
I have always been a "ride it out" type guy. This year, I just have a very uneasy feeling. I have been in the construction industry my entire professional life, and admittedly, much of my take on our economy is based on the ins and outs of that industry. I am old enough to have been in this profession in 08/09 when shit got "weird". From what I am seeing right now, we are in a completely different universe. I have seen the large, commercial projects I have been involved in go from $200-250 a sq ft to 500-600 in less than 2 years. It's fucking nuts and honestly has me pretty freaked out.
The volatility has me on high alert for sure.
