Hi,
I stumbled on this site while Googling for loss suffered in the current market. I've got investments in the mutual funds and all of them have suffered such huge losses that it's got me scared. As a single(widowed) mom I need to be careful and preserve as much of my assets as I can.
I live in northern CA and work in the hi tech industry. I have spent my entire adult life working and saving (towards retiring early and enjoying life) but most of my savings are gone. The hours at my job are cut down in order to keep us all employed. I've lived frugally all my life and was finally ready to travel and do the things I've wanted to do but now it seems that they will be pushed out until I am more comfortable about my finances.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone and learning about smart investing.
