I've put $1650 in there the last year (I know, not much) and the account is now worth only $1502. It's the time of the year at my job where I need to re-do my benefits. I'm thinking of not adding to the 401K anymore and paying off some small credit card debt instead. I know that people don't invest to make a quick buck, but do it for the long term,however, I'm sick of losing money like this when I'd get a better return not paying interest on the debt I have now. Should I just close the whole thing out, take the money to pay off some debt and maybe start reinvesting at a better time in the market?
