My 401(k) is already on schedule to be maxed out for the year, although I could increase the percentage now and decrease as we get closer to the end of the year. I've also thought about starting a solo 401(k) or other self-employed retirement plan with my online earnings. Now seems to be a great time to do so.

Now is the time to be putting money in, not taking it out. Anyone taking it out can't complain about returns after they miss the run-up after this huge downturn.<br /><br />#7 is even more important. Congress didn't add anything good to pass the $700 billion bailout...they added pork. They ADDED PORK to something that might weight on us for years. I couldn't agree more with #2 and #7.

I've done the same as you and I recently doubled my contribution. If you have a company match, it's even more reason to continue contributing to your 401(k). I couldn't agree more with point #2.

Regarding job activities, I'm amazed at the networking opportunities out there. I just returned from a conference (which I attended largely on my own dime), giving a last-minute talk to fill in for a cancellation. I dusted off a presentation I hadn't looked at in two years, and reviewed it for about half an hour beforehand. Afterwards, I received invitations from two attendees to talk to them further about consulting assignments based on the presentation topic. Good stuff, Steve, and I agree completely.

All you need to do is find one instance of pundits saying something ridiculous and you'll find it a lot easier to get over their supposed expertise. It's like sportscasters—some are good and some suck. Listen to one that sucks and it's all you need to realize that just because they're on TV it doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.
