Note to self

Self--don't forget to make your 2008 IRA contributions.  Sooner would be better than later; the market won't stay this low forever.

<whine> but I hate having to figure out how to *do* it every year </whine>

And while you're at it, post how to do it here so you can look it up next year.  (hint, hint)

In other news, have I mentioned that I'm hunting for a new house?

Good luck in the hunt.

This is not bad advice in general. Short term, likely to loose money.... Long term. it will be more than you put in. (And its a good tax writeoff...)

Yes, the market will still go down some before it comes up again, but I think this is still a good time to put money in. Better than it was last year, anyway :-)

Thank you for your good wishes regarding the house hunt.
