+2.  I don't even look at the statement, because we're in it for the long-term.

Anyway, most investment options did terribly over the past 10 years.  If you had bought real estate 10 years ago, you'd probably be in even worse shape, especially if you bought it outside the DC area.  To the PP who is buying real estate, it's not a horrible idea if it turns out that you bought low in the past year, but you also need some diversification because that market may not have shaken out yet, and real estate prices could drop some more, plus if you hate 401(k) fees, have you stopped to look at closing costs, not to mention the high (10%? 20%?) penalties for early withdrawal on your 401(k)s.

Yes, 401(k) fees can suck.  It's best to stick to indexed (as opposed to managed) funds.  We need more transparency in fee disclosure.  These outrageous fees are a good reason against privatizing Social Security and hand everybody's money over to Wall Street so they can make huge profits while sucking away the returns on our investments.[/quote]
