I always wanted to work until I was 93 anyway. Maybe I’ll need some life cycle housing afterall.
Well said downtown. Well said.
And the Japanese market is down almost 11% as of right now.
What is a “market”?
If Congress would send me another larger economic stimulus check, I’d try to turn this thing around.
If congress would get me another large economic stimulus check….wait….oh….I didn’t get one.
OK, Left Wing, we know you are rich and that is why you are a Republican.
Give it a rest, would you?
That last stimulus package was so outrageously enormous. I was sure $300 to $600 person could have solved all of our problems and changed many lives financially. I don’t understand why it didn’t though.
Could you please define “Rich”? Cause I would hardly consider myself rich.
Also, I am not a Republican. I lean Democratic in some areas and Republican in others. However, I still consider myself a Democrat.
Look forward to your response!
The pain of 401(k) losses is very real right now. But damn, there are some huge opportunities in a panic stricken market like this. Even rock-solid companies are getting killed to the point where fairly safe dividend yields of 6% and more can be had. That means if you buy now and can hold through the duration of the panic, the price only needs to appreciate 4% to get you a total 10% return. Be greedy when others are fearful, and they’re scared stiff right now.
I agree with DEM, just wish I had some spare cash to put in the market right now.
The Dow just briefly dipped below 8000 again…the volatility is absolutely insane.
An economics professor here at Agnes Scott said last week that we should be investing in better hearing aids and ramps, because none of us are retiring!
Emilyk….
When I was a junior in high school in 1990, our physics teacher told us that the dream of owning a home was over.
I believed him at the time. Of course, I was 16 years old.
Digest, think, and disavow most of what other people say.
What do you think?
I think I’m putting every dime I can find into an S&P index fund tomorrow.
