I bought stocks; my husband bought CDs. Now I can't bear to look

I can't get up the nerve to tell my husband just how much money we've lost.

    Random Walk down Wall Street

    Read _A Random Walk Down Wall Street_. My Retirement funds have gone way down also. I have about 20 years until retirement. I am not panicking. I am actually putting some extra cash in a indexed fund. ($700 a week - every Wednesday). The stock market will never be lower. Like a previous poster said things will either get better or money will be meaningless in 20 years.
