Been keep track of all my retirement accounts on a monthly basis since beginning my career after college and just closed out September. For the first time in 3 years the total value of my assets LOST money. Typically my contributions have always been more than enough to offset any market declines but not this month. On one hand I know its better in the long run to purchase cheaper assets, but on the other my balance physically went down. Also means my assets are large enough to start reacting to the market!
Moral of the story, your balance goes up and down on the path to retirement and I just had that first real down part. Onward and upward though eh?
