Lol...you can’t have a short term view of investing. Investing isn’t for the impatient. Retirement especially.

If you started investing 5 years ago your average annualized return is still high despite the recent crashes.

What have you been investing your retirement funds in? Where are you putting your excess savings?

Being committed to saving prudent investing since I was 22 is the only reason I have some control over my situation & some options for how & where I work now. @Havas1 nails it.

Never lost so much money in 08, never made so much 09-10 rebound. Rule of 7 ain’t a joke, multiply by idiotic corporate buy backs... been selling over the last 12 months as stuff seem too high.

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k.

Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
