My wife's and my retirement fund total finally surpassed our previous high from May 16, 2008 today (I track the totals weekly in a spreadsheet). Woot! Of course, when you factor in that we've still been contributing all along, and if we hadn't, we'd still be below that mark, it means we're still behind where we were back then. Still, a nice milestone to reach. Gotta take the small wins in life.

Everyone should realize that this means the stock market will likely go to hell starting on Monday. :eek:

You're one up on me there. My main retirement account is still down from that date. Over the life of the fund which I believe started in January 2003, my annualized rate of return is a sparkling 1.95%. So at least I've made "some" money. Then again, that return has probably gone back to the firm as processing fees. So I'd probably have been just as effective burying the money in a coffee can in the back yard.

Keep saving up for that starcruiser.

Need some labels on those curves! Would be nice to throw the S&P on top of it and compare.

The top one is the combined retirement savings. The other two are each 401(k) separated out. My pathetic little Roth IRA doesn't show up cuz it got cut off. :) May 16, 2008 should be the 2nd mini-peak before the big dropoff.
