According to that CPI calculator somebody posted yesterday, my earliest original retirement dollars from 1983 are only worth 58 cents today. So if I took that "I have 20 years to get even" attitude, I'd still be down about 50%! What's so bad about being even NOW and spending the next 19 years getting ahead, maybe way ahead, as a reward for not being a sheep?
