As I replied to Rick Pearson on CGS board, my net investment capital is now worth $30K instead of $300K before the halt, which was down from $460K from last November 2010. There is not a chance in hell that at age 53 that $30k will ever get close to the prior figures, let alone grow that to 1.5M or so needed to retire...
So Plan B is that my spouse has several sisters, they all grew up in Thailand dirt poor, and will probably all live together on rice and vegetables in their garden here in PA when they retire. I'll be there, too.
