You are wise beyond your years. At age 29 you can take solace that the stock market is in a bear mode. You'll now have the opportunity to purchase stocks at a lower cost. Then when the bull market makes it's inevitable return, you'll reap the rewards. Keep adding to your investments in regular periods.
