Yours is a familiar story. I'm sorry to hear another. I know some folks that are past being able to work and relied on the stock markets for there retirement. They've had to dramatically downsize their lifestyle. Think Enron.
I HAVE NOT gotten the returns from the stock/bond markets that you once heard of. 3 x's in the 30 years I've been investing I've lost all the gains and some of the principal.
