Am I the only one here with a 401k? The Dow is down 500 points as a result of this, so it does affect us Americans. Fortunately, I'm currently in a very conservative position with my 401k.
I agree with the others it's just a short term blip. I have a 401K but I won't be abled to use it for decades yet.

All understood, but people are acting like this has no impact on the US; and meanwhile, the market took its biggest drop in a long time. It may recover, or not.

I don't think most people can make a connection between what could happen to how it could impact the US economy.

The Greek economy collapsing is a lot more frightening sounding, and easier to imagine that it could affect us.

there are a ton of really sad and gruesome pics of the aftermath but this is the one that sticks with me.
