A person I used to work with at a previous company just found out that he's about to be let go due to a reduction in force after a merger. He's an older gentleman that had hoped to retire to the country in a few years. Unfortunately he took a bath in the markets and his 401k has now become, in his words, more of a 1.7.
This morning I received a letter from him that was his sort of goodbye to everyone. I thought it was a great perspective on things and I'd like to pass it along.
