Correct footnote: Only joking sweetheart, now I've been thinking there is only sport on the TV this afternoon so rather than you having to interupt and then accuse me of not listening why don't we go shoe shopping...
...or shiny metal shopping...

If I had just left the bulk of the money in blue chip shares over the same 10-year period...my superfund would have increased 8-fold !

May get your chance again soon-ish . Very good time to look at increasing you pension contribution IMO even if it's just short term.
Talk to Meow and IndieG just to be safe though. I mean I invested in Coca-Cola in late '05, worst investment I've ever made and I'm still only cents up on my initial position in terms of security price ...3 years later.

Dollar cost averaging and a spread of (& actively monitored) good managed funds over a long period will always come right.
Mistake - Turning down the role of Juliet in the school play in my O-level year. I could have been the next Kate Winslet.

Most expensive mistake: Cost unknown but almost every telephone junction box built since '02 in New Zealand has a re-bar it doesn't need. Even if it was a $1 per unit mistake it's expensive . Didn't realise until it was too late to go back.
Worst mistake: Letting go of my first real girlfriend. A beautiful, clever, witty Texan girl training to be a doctor here. Suffered from depression (getting gradually worse) however and eventually I did the only thing that I knew would help her so I drove her to the airport, kissed her goodbye...she walked through customs and was gone forever. She was desperatly homesick for her family and a place where she felt she belonged. I talked to her not so long ago and she is still recovering. She married a guy and lives with him and his 3 kids from a previous marraige .
