My 401K is more than double what it was back then.

Plus, I'm way better off than I was in 2008 and I suspect you are, too.

You have to admit things are going in the right direction, right?

So, maybe "things" -- and "the CEO" you were talking about -- aren't quite as bad as you make them out to be. :roll eyes:
