I will not retire for 21 more years, and I am not planning on doing anything with my retirement anytime soon. Should I sit on it. I am afraid to open the envelope to see how bad I am doing. Lincoln Financial group is the manager. Should I continue to sit tight or change my investments around?

Where can I find statistical data, from a reliable source, about how many households (I’m looking specifically for middle-class, but global stats would also do) have investments in the stock market?. I don’t mean trust funds or other “indirect” investments but people actually buying and trading stocks.

smiles6428 asked:
I am about to purchase a condo from someone in my family. They are selling it to me for 78% of the appraised value so that I do not have to pay mortgage insurance. So, even if I sold it the day after I bought it, I could potentially make about 50,000. I am certain that my boyfriend and I will be able to make the mortgage payments on the house, but it will be tight. I have some money in investments, I was planning on not using any of the money until retirement, but should I use some of the investment money to go towards the home purchase so I don’t have to pay so much in the loan? Or should I just take out a certain amount, say $1,000 to have in a quick cushion account, in case I need to use 1 or $200 to help pay for mortgage? Over the past 12 years I have been getting a 12% return on my investments, which is GREAT. I’m not sure I will get anything close to this by putting the money into this house, except for the fact that I am getting the place for 78% of the apprised value. Thoughts?
