They're just paper losses, but I decided to see how today's stock market sell-off impacted our portfolio. We lost about $4,300, or about 1.07%.
I don't plan to make any changes or sell anything. I just plan to keep everything on autopilot and continue our automatic investing plans same as always. I'm 20 years from retirement so in the grand scheme of things, today is just a little blip in a very long line.

After the 1987 crash, the DJIA was around 1,700. Last week it was 14,000. If it stages a similar recovery, in 2027, the DJIA would be in the neighborhood of 112,000. That would be just fine with me as I plan to retire right around then.
