The major concern for me is to get as much cash as I can into the market. This is when it helps to be frugal. ;) I’m not completely upset about recent developments, retirement is a long way off for me (I’m under 30).

But I'm flexible about when I pull the plug...I'm still in my early 40's. I was expecting some kinda down turn in the markets..but nothing like this. I'm gonna wait till things calm down,then see where I'm at. This mess has set my retirement back at least a year.

Lately I've been thinking more about physical health/longevity and being happy in my career...in light of the fact that I may not be able to retire at 50 or 55 (I'm 30 years old).

Things tend to revert back to the mean. Even if you get a -25% in there, some nice years are likely to follow. Also the point you made about accumulating in low markets is an important one.
