I am in shock. I paid $2.96 per gallon for gasoline for my car. It is going to be a good week!
On Sunday, we drove to Indianapolis to pick up my mom at the airport. It was a beautiful day for a drive. Indiana has some of the most beautiful fall foliage. The leaves are deep reds and yellows. The cool weather helps us save on our utility bills. It is nice to turn off the air conditioner and the heater and open all the windows. I love the fresh air.

If we can all hold on tight and stop looking at our IRA’s and 401K’s we will be ok. Just hang on. I believe things will get better.

I was thinking about my 401k all week, wondering if I should change where my money is. I’ve only been in it a couple of months now but don’t want to lose what’s in there.

I looked at my kids college 529′s this week and after getting depressed over those decided NOT to look at my 401k. As long as you have no short-term plans to cash out then you’ll be okay. I just have to keep reminding myself that this, too, shall pass!
