[quote=Anuska299]Not fed, 62 $575 in 401k (no matching) plus another $340 in other accounts. Paid at a high GS-12 level. Spent my last 20 years putting in the maximum and saving/investing on the side. Keeping a good blend between bonds 30%, small 20%, mid 20%, large 30% and savings saved me from anything over 20-25% short term loses in 2000 and 2008-2009. I would recommend always investing outside your "retirement" program at work. Wish I had done more in early 2009 when stocks were just rebounding, tripled my investment in 6 months. Brought utilities and premium stocks with good dividends. Dividends are a great income supplement once you retire, you get quarterly money even if the market is flat. If the interest rate ever increases I'll consider municipal and state bonds. Right now indexes seem to be as volatile as the market so I haven't invested there.[/quote]
