Since I'm not a jet-setter, nor hang out in clubs, I'm living pretty much the same as always. I lived through "black monday" several years ago, so I'm just leaving my investments alone. Of course I'm not happy about the amount of money I've lost on paper as the value of my investments plummeted. Just hoping I can afford to retire in 11 years. My biggest decision in the next few years is whether I want to retire here on the storm tossed Gulf coast, or do I want to move elsewhere. I don't want to evacuate when I'm 80.
