This question has been bouncing around the media lately and I was wondering if the members of the ER forum have similar financial experiences over the past four years.
Are You Better Off Now Than You Were Four Years Ago? - US News and World Report
My investments are up about 34% since September of 2008 and as the closer we get to November that number will probably continue to go up because my investments were taking the nose dive towards the end of 2008. This also includes consuming over $100K of our investments because my contracting wife was unable to find a position for over 12 months during the past four years.
I quit working back in the spring of 2008 while my wife has continued to work. We are now within about two years of meeting the 100% success rate noted by Firecalc. I keep informing my wife that not working anymore could probably happen at anytime but she chooses to continue working. Extroverts are so strange.
