My wife and I have watched the value of our IRAs fall 30 percent during the past 12 months, and we're wondering how long it will take just to break even.

Aren't we lucky that we didn't rush to privatize Social Security as President Bush urged us to do?

Since The News & Observer does not control user submitted statements, we cannot promise that readers will not occasionally find offensive or inaccurate comments posted on our website. In addition, we remind anyone interested in making an online comment that responsibility for statements posted lies with the person submitting the comment, not The News and Observer.
