Tuesday, payday, investment day.  YTD everything is down except the targeted account, which is eking out 1.68%.  My Pharma and Gambling positions are doing okay, so that's something.  The savings account is down owing to annual contributions to the Roth and the HSA, and increases to the emergency fund, but it'll recover by summer.

Oh, well.  I keep shoving money in. It'll turn around.  It always does. I probably won't make my aggressive saving and investment targets in April, because I have to take the family to Tucson for a week.
YTD, my 401k is up 9.23%. Given the current state of economic turmoil, I'll take it.
In fairness, that increase is largely due to company stock performance. The rest of my investments range from 4% down to 3% up.

We've got ourselves a commute day.
But the jam started off (for me at least) with ABs, so I'm sure it'll be an easy commute.
That's what I'm counting on. Actually, because the pharmacy opens at nine, I'll be leaving for the office after my first meeting. Hopefully, the traffic would have died down by that time.
I didn't account for construction traffic. 40-minute commute wasn't terrible, but not nearly as easy as it should have been.

Hell yes, you will.  That's killin' it.

I hope Tony's lack of posting is work-driven, not an indictment of his commute.
It definitely is work-driven. Finally eating lunch now.

I'm about 3.8% down on all that is down.  I shouldn't complain so much.

As far as 401ks are concerned, correct. Though, mine has been doing far better than that for a long time. They used to offer a search so you could see the rate of return for any period you punched in, but I can't find it. So either Fidelity is hiding it well or they're removed it altogether.

You're right, it always bounces back. I just hope the rebound period doesn't take too long. My dad is coming up on 65 this year and his plan was always to retire as soon as he qualified for Medicare and paid off their house. So I hope his retirement accounts have a chance to get climbing again before that happens.
