There is so much turbulence in the market today, and people need peace of mind more than ever. I wanted to offer your readers a link to another blogger who is doing great work. He writes about our 'childhood money messages' and how the best approach to stability in today's market is to resist letting these emotions control our buying/selling habits. It is really fascinating work, and something you should all check out. His name is Spencer Sherman, and you can view his blog at http://www.curemoneymadness.com/blog. This was a great post!

You are still earning money via your business and your husband is also working, so you have flexibility. And don't forget about those 20-30% gains we'll see in a couple years. ;) In a perfect world you would have chosen a different time to begin withdrawals, but I have a feeling you will be fine.

Any other year, and it should be no problem. Oh well, it's all part of the fun! @ That One Caveman: Yes, ironically, usually the only portfolios that fail with a safe withdrawal rate are those that had their huge decline in the first year.

It really stinks that you're just now starting to withdraw from your account, but it's all cost averaging in the end. I know this won't last forever, but a low point in the beginning can really hurt near the end when you consider compounding. Thanks for sharing all these great links.
