The true answer to your question is that I'm unsure what is best for you, because I know not of your circumstances. Generally speaking if you are more than 5-10 years away from retirement I'd actually recommend increasing your contributions. Now is as good a time as any to buy - everything's going at a discount. Keep in mind I'm not a licensed financial advisor. That's just my opinion. Kristoffer,

This message really needs to be drilled into the heads of many, many people out there. The long-term effects of all these people yanking money out of their 401k's and IRAs is not going to be good. I understand some people are dipping into these funds to help save their house or something like that, but many are just pulling out because of fear. It's no secret that the people who came out of the Great Depression the wealthiest were the ones who kept saving and investing while everybody else was panicking. It's going to be no different this time. For young guns such as ourselves, we'll look back at these days and crave for buying opportunities like we're seeing now. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Blakes last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/youngdough/~3/413826407/">Passive Income for September 2008:</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Nice post Joe.
