Please stay in equities, your old ass self will be very grateful. It doesnt make sense to time the market on retirement if you are young. Just think of this as the time to buy.

Everyone is saying to wait for earnings season. Problem is, no one knows how that’s going to turn out or how baked into the market that is. The big players on Wall Street are well aware that earnings will be dismal

$12K+ but I rebalanced after losing $10K so the losses slowed. I'm expecting worse. This isn't the bottom.

22%

Down $30k, worst was down $40k

Down 23%

I’m 31, down 19%. All equities. Not touching a damn thing...in fact just increased contributions. I won’t touch this money until my 60s and won’t even remember this.

What’s the return been like?

Really good up until now 😂 (2019 was 31.5% but that’s 2019; LOF is 9.18% since 1990 tho!)

Down 25% in IRA, down 23% in 401k. Up 26% in stocks purchased 3 weeks ago.

Fishes honest opinion needed.

We are looking to move to Dallas and thinking of buying a house ~996K with a 15% down. Questions -
1. Should we go for house of that budget? We can afford, but asking based on market.
2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?

I saw this townhouse in a prime location in my city for $350k (cheap for the area). The floors are all messed up though but the buyer said they’ll either lower the house price or give a credit for closing cost. There’s also a lot of nicks here and there (some locks missing from door, dents, scratches, stains, and some things are loose). But overall, the house’s architecture and design is so beautiful. Would it be worth it to get it and fix it up? Or find a newer house with less maintenance?
