      I wasn't going to look but I needed to see how far out of whack our allocation has gotten. We are down about $170,000 YTD.

        $40k. Which feels like a ton considering how much smaller my portfolio is than some of yours! Has juuuuust crossed $200k in January and now sitting around $163 To be fair, the growth I had seen over the last 12 months was just insane. Dec. 2018 to Dec. 2019 I was up around $60k with only having contributed around $15k. Knew it would knock me back to reality sooner or later

              You know what really sucks? If your portfolio is down 50%, it’s got to go up 100% to get back to where you were.

                was down about $800k from the peak ($650k ytd), with the upward move yesterday down about $600k from the peak ($470k ytd). current value is in the range of where things stood in january 2019.

                  My account are down $91k...wifes are down approx $40k...so around $130k total. Not nearly as much as I thought. I thought we'd be down closer to $200k.

                    Last I looked I was down 13%. I upped my Roth 401k contribution to 50% of my pay to try to buy things on the cheap. Hoping it pays off.

                      Down 70K YTD. Not too bad. I'm like where we last year back in August.

                            I've mostly ignored the paper losses so far, but I was checking on the AA balance of my accounts with all the blood in the water of late. I rebalanced on 2 Mar 20 (~1 week after the downturn started) after realizing I forgot to do so at the new year. Since then, I've "lost" ~15% (roughly $80k). Could be worse, but it definitely stings. I was already heavily in cash on the taxable side, so that has helped to reduce the impact as well.

                            And as for the current AA balance? Already 2% off from target... in only ~2 weeks!

                              We are lucky and we can decide where our money and what portion is put into a cash amount (for retirement) and what amount is invested...so when things started to go south a few weeks ago I just changed it all to cash so I had no further losses and i can change when the market changes again...thankfully

                                We "lost" $15K on my spouse's 401K and another $20K on a former 401K. We haven't coontributed anything to the former 401K since that job ended in 2011, and temporarily suspended contributions to the current 401K to build up a down payment on a home. But as the market is so down, we're thinking of restarting a small contribution again. We have a year to go before we can actually buy a house so maybe we can postpone that by another few months to take advantage ot the present downturn.

                                Interesting times, these!
