Frankly, it’s hard to talk about anything but COVID19 right now, but I am going to try. My retirement investments have dropped considerably. I am down around $14,000 to $15,000 overall. Nevertheless, I plan to plow forward and to keep investing. So below are my retirement contributions to date:
1/3/20 $100
1/4/20 $100
1/15/20 $1,000
1/31/20 $100
2/14/20 $800
2/18/20 $100
2/27/20 $100
2/28/20 $200
3/5/20 $850
3/31/20 $100
All of these contributions have gone into my Roth. I still have $2,550 left to contribute for the year. I hope the stock market recovers. It’s so disconcerting to see my paltry savings dwindle away. I certainly don’t believe that I will reach my goal of $100,000 in savings by the time I am 40.
