It’s more being insecure. He might try to act all tough, but he’s really soft or he wouldn’t care. And wouldn’t get so reactionary/easily triggered.

Yea, but let’s say you have a spouse and kids. You probably aren’t going to the theater by yourself. Now you’re buying 60+ in tickets, and probably 40+ in popcorn/soda if you have kids there.
That being said, you could go on a discounted day and tell the family no snacks/soda. Then you’re looking at 40ish bucks for a family of 4.

It has “returned to the mean” as far back as we can look. It doesn’t mean a special year, but as best we can see, it will eventually return to that mean.
It actually matters less to people just starting. At that point it’s more about the number of stocks you buy than the value of them. The value matters later when you have a ton and your contributions are tiny compared to the actual swings.

They are, but what’s affecting people now is the concern.
Say you’ve been investing for the past 10 years. You put in 5k a year. 5 years ago you had 33k saved after interest. You kept contributing, and a few weeks ago you would have 105k. With the drops in the mark the last week, you suddenly have 95k. You lost 10 grand, which will take you two years to put back in. Not to mention we’re expecting a major drop today, you might lose another 10k in a few days. That is what gets people panicking and selling.
The reality is they haven’t lost anything unless they get out of the market. They still have the same number of stocks, and the value of those stocks only really matters when you sell them.

Most people are losing more than 5000. In the US, stocks and bonds are a big part of most people’s retirement. So people in the 50-60 range average 400k+ in the market. Meaning this last week they have lost roughly 40k.

Over 30 years with the ups and downs it averages 10-12% a year. So while this year will probably be bad, next year or the year after will probably be exceptionally good.

You shouldn’t be invested that heavily in stocks at that age though.

Not to mention most issues are extremely nuanced and complex, not something that can be accurately broken down into 5 second sound bits.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 4 weeks ago:
This is how most people think and see the world, which is why we (the US) are in the boat we’re in now. People don’t see the big picture if they never have to or aren’t taught how to think critically.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
Yea, it’s super location dependant. Generally the more rural the lower the taxes. But it also varies by state. States with low or no income tax tend to have higher property tax.

Yes most people have this experience… Which is why I said on average.
- Comment on Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. 1 month ago:
I haven’t read this study, but I’ve heard most people tend to be their happiest after their kids move out, and near retirement. You have more time to do the things you want, have more ‘extra’ cash than before, and are still in decent health. Obviously this is on average and varies by person.
