Yea my final was up 38%

I think I am going to move a little out of my International fund to the small and large cap fund for 2010.

Final statement says 23%. Though I'm in better shape than most of you since I only STARTED contributing in November of 2008.

32.6% for 2009.

Still about $35,000 from my peak dollar value in mid-late 2007.

Up 31.2% ....made up the lost ground plus a few %

The quick recovery has me suspicious so I just moved some into a bond fund for a while.

I haven't even looked at mine *shrug* not retiring for another 30+ years.


Although, I probably should check it every now and then, perhaps tweak the fund mix.

+32% for my current employers' plan and +41% for my prior employers' plan, but it still hasn't reached what it was when I left the company so I haven't bothered rolling it into an IRA account. The problem with that account is that from Oct-Dec. of each year I had in that account I raised my contribution to 50% of my paycheck in order to max it out. If you look at 2006 and even more so at 2007, the market was reaching its all-time highs during the same time period that I was dumping a ton of money into those investments so the account was really hurting last Spring. Happy to see it back up though.

I came to that realization last year that I was going to need a hell of an increase % wise to get back to even, but surprisingly it has happened. Not sure what the exact numbers are though.

All I know is that in 3 years of working full time I have contributed 31019 to my 401K, and there is currently 31250 in my account, so it's basically no gain over the last 3 years.


yeah mine is pretty much there too, all my dollars I put in are there, but thats about it, after 7 years......

about the same as the others here, up 30%. Difference being my company started matching last January so I have only been contributing since then so no losses for me.
