Great post.

I was just getting my retirement started in 07, so i was lucky enough for it not to bother me that much.
I can only hope the market gets better.
I hope to retire at 55 at the latest, but i will probably be older.

I have a lot of money tied up in the stock market and 401k programs, and to be honest im really dumb on the subject. I plan on trying to hire a good invester that can help me greatly with my stocks.
Im currently investing in my own company, as well as a retirement stock.
I would really like to know what other people are investing in or what good ideas there are.
With myself only being 28, i would love to be risky and take some chances because i feel i have time to recover if it doesnt work out so well, however, right now im not smart enough with the market to know exactly what to do with it. I currently have 10% of my check going to retirement each week which i hope will pay off dearly in the end. I can take out up to 15% and hope to do so after student loans and such.

I'd just really like to get on top of things.
