As to your original comment about the market, that is one reason that some of the people I've talked to for my articles say they are diversifying their retirement accounts to include assets outside the stock market. Here's a link to one of those articles: The Bottom Line: Entrepreneurs and Investors Maximize Investment Returns by Using Their IRAs. I hope this helps!
In closing, thank you so much Liz for your kind words. I hope to continue providing reporting on business and personal finance that truly helps Gather.com members when planning for their future.
Congratulations Carl! Thank you so much for weighing in, even if just to gloat. LOL. You're "right on the money" with your words of wisdom about retirement self-direction.
For me, I enjoy working so much more than sitting around. I know plenty of people in their 70s and even 80s who are still working.
