But for some people who are retired or close to retirement and were perhaps too aggressive with their investments, it is the end of the world. Having no <a href="http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com" rel="nofollow">debt</a> is key. Ever since I paid off my home loans, I felt so free! The economy is bad right now but I feel like I’m going to be okay regardless of my job situation because I don’t have people banging on my door for money. A portfolio whose value plummets means little cash available to feed themselves. I don’t think this stock market crash may not be the end of the world for many of us.

Yes, things are bad, but there are always things that we can do to combat financial difficulties, and remembering what we can be grateful for is pretty solid insurance that things are not as bad as they may seem at first blush.

I've always been a very conservative investor, not much of a gambler, and my stuff is only down 10% overall. Slow and steady wins the race, as they say :) No big gains, but no big losses either, and that's a comfort right now. I would heartily suggest planting a garden to everyone who has even a container to put dirt in! Tonight I'll be busy plucking everything before the expected freeze overnight. I just have a tiny tiny city lot with about 120 sq ft in garden. Besides eating from it all summer, I harvested about 80 lbs of produce last night, and tonight need to harvest about 200 lbs more... about half of that is potatoes tonight. I heartily recommend it! The dehydrator will be running all weekend, for sure! Thanks for the kind mention!

A portfolio whose value plummets means little cash available to feed themselves. I've lost $70K+ in my 401K and I'm 37 so I have time to recover, but it's still demoralizing and I still worry that the market may never be the same again. Luckily, I don't have much money in stocks outside of retirement accounts.

With the prices getting lower and lower I have nothing else to do but dollar cost average into some quality dividend names. Just today UTX increased their dividends by more than 20%. I am happy that everyone thinks all dividends will be cut just by looking at one sector - financials. This of course if further away from the truth. But as long as the herd is scared people like me will be buying income producing assets on bargain prices.. Same here no debt just flush with cash.
