I peeked at our portfolio. I haven't done anything more than look at the numbers and boy are we bleeding. Our retirement is down less than we contributed. Same with taxable. Only thing saving us is our cash.
Oh well I'm due to rebalance anyway first week in January I'll do it. We've lived through this before. In 2007-2008 because we take such an aggressive investment stance we take very large declines. This time we're down more than we contributed but since retirement is another 10 years off we're fine. Keep on investing same time monthly and annually. I won't change a single thing. In january I fund Roth IRA and kids VTI college funds.
One thing that will also save our net worth is paying off $20k in mortgage, $20k in car loans. Debt reduction. Of course paying cash for the end of our renovation helped too.
Have you peeked? Are you changing anything?

I'm afraid to look where our other investments are. IRA limits are going up next year … I hope I can convince DH to increase our contributions even though we're probably not up much at all right now. Plus, figuring out where another $83/mo is going to come from ...

I may do my end of year on Dec. 26, since I'll be in UK on New Year's Eve and may not find a ton of alone time to do a bunch of financial stuff on the computer.
