Case study: 2010 first quarter Par tech 401 K statement study

May 5, 2019

Introduction


It is my personal finance research. Today it is the first time I looked into carefully the statement of my Par Tech 401 K 2010 first quarter statement. I like to do a quick case study.

Case study


2010 is the year to recover from 2008 recession. Based on the study I did last week, it should fully recover. I looked into my 2010 statement, I saw over 50% gain in 2010.

   Large company [S & P 500 TR]  49.77
   RGACX                                       45.56
   SWPPX                                        49.52
   PAFDX                                        57.76

I just could not believe that in 2010 I did not read carefully my statement, and did not take action to put back my asset back in equity fund as I did before 2008 crash.










Actionable Items


I have hard time to reveal the fact that I do not learn how to read my statements at all from 2007 to 2019. I do not have good financial habit to do book keeping, examine possible leak, major leaks in my personal finance. I totally abandon my 401 K and IRA in money market fund starting from 2008.

I have very hard time to deal with the stress, frustration and difficulty to transit from 2007 full time job H1-B laidoff, 2008 Canada immigration case denial because of not showing financial statement, 2009 appeal case in Canada Federal court, 2010 starting a full time job again in 44 years old.

I started from top paid software programmer from 1999 to 2001, and then one year break as a home maker, went back to Motorola as a research intern, computer science PH.D..

I do not push myself hard to learn the basics why I fail as a business woman. I just chose Christian belief and then ignored the hard work I should do.
