i have a real question thoo. should i be putting money back into my 401k now? ive been putting money in my money market account (easier to access if you need some cash) and CDs.

If you have solid funds now is a great time to put money into a 401. Most of the time your buying units (might be call something else) and with stock prices down you units buy more stocks so when the stocks go back up you see a better return. When stocks are up an your investing your unit buy less stock for the same amount of money.
