For those that haven't been in the market for long, today (8/21/15) was a seriously "bad" day. But as we've talked about, this may not something to be worried about when you have a long time horizon. For those with decades left until retirement, you really can look at this in a more positive light. I'd rather have my periodic investments buy in at a lower price.

Greg, since you mentioned it, what does a guy in your position think about taking social security at 62 vs. waiting until 65 or later? (I know this is one of those questions where everyone should evaluate their own situation, just thought it might be a good discussion topic)
