Retirement Fund Down the Drain

Of course things will get better. I have 50 years to go. But if the stock market pulls its tricks again in 50 years, I certainly won't be able to survive on less than what I started the retirement fund with.

I guess I'm just glad I started that fund when I did, because there's no way I can contribute at this time in my life. It will get better. It will get bigger. And hopefully some day I will have a job and I can add money to it.

I am glad to hear, though, that where I have my money in Germany is really safe.
