I've been lurking around the site for awhile trying to determine what I want to do when I grow up. At this point my DW and I are ready to get serious about ER. However, like everybody else the last few years have not helped much. Our net worth is virtually the same as two years ago. I guess we're lucky that our investments have been pretty conservative (45/40/15 - stock,bond,cash). Still employed and survived my wife's layoff and new job last year. We're able to save quite a bit each month and hope to pull ahead at some point. We;re 54/53 years and the kids are through college and the houses are paid off. My pension was frozen back in '94 and will only provide about $600 in retirement. I look forward to the advice and interacting with the members of this board.
