After the MS senatorial race ended in a win for the republicans, the market decided to pull back a bit. The dow lost about 600 points in a 3 day run. I decided to buy. I added some money to spouse's roth IRA. I'll continue to do that until we make all of our 2009 contributions to both. Spouse seems confident enough to start deferring income to SEP-IRA. I want her to just contribute up to the match. I still don't like her options. We'll also max the roth IRAs this year. Considering what we went through, 2009 turned out to be ok for us, financially speaking (amazing).
