With stock market tanking (with more bloodshed expected), I like my job/steady paycheck little more and little less eager to retire. I am sure i will change my mind once the stock market recovers.

Do you really think there is more downside to stock market in near term? Any specific rationale behind it? I felt with 10% correction, it is as low as it will get.

Near term downturn = yes til inflation clearly trends back to under 2%. Since this is expected in few months (fingers crossed), now is the time to buy more shares. IMHO.
