That belongs up there with other such Pelosi classics as "tax cuts are a spending choice"
Mind boggling

It's the Ben Wa balls.
Kind of reminds me of The Ring or The Grudge, but far creepier.
Thanks to this administration, between home equity and retirement accounts, I am down $60,000 since January. Going to take years to grow back.
I understand the retirement accounts, but unless you are refinancing your house or looking to sell it RIGHT NOW, I don't get the advertising of the home equity. I just sold a home last summer, and I can tell you this, the market was WAY high on proportion of value. I sold it for probably $50K more than what the market value should have been. Did you complain when your home equity was higher than it should have been, because the market prices got too high?

As a public employee, I’m sure you’ll be well taken care of.
Whining over a negative swing in home equity in Ohio, when you’re not even looking to sell. LOL.
What about desirable places that are sky rocketing? Should they be praising the administration?

Lol. Are you retiring soon? Selling your house soon? Otherwise, it doesn't matter, just ups and downs of the market.
Also, over the last year, stock market is up, so thanks Biden!

Yes I actually am lining up to retire well before the average but now I have to delay that
I suggest a financial advisor. Clearly you need help.

Well, all I know is Central Ohio still has a booming housing market, so maybe your location just sucks?

As someone said, financial adviser man. You can mitigate this risk I'm sure.

Funny thing is $60k ain't shit - this is a correction, not even bear market territory and nowhere near the 30-40% we've seen in more significant recessions. The obvious irony is he's retiring off the public teat, not his savings.
That's exactly why I suggested an advisor. If you have grandious plans to "retire early", and a TOTAL swing of 60k is holding you back.....you have a lot to fucking learn.
What you dont realize is that $60,000 today is not $60,000 5-6-7 years from now. You are losing unrealized gains of $120,000+. As your money spends years regrowing to that amount, it could have spent that time increasing from where it was.
Any of you that have anything invested shouldnt be talking shit unless you can honestly post on here how you like to watch your money disappear and dont care about it.
posted by AutomatikI'll just say, buckle up! for the next bear market because it's going to be bad. Maybe not as bad as the Great Recession, but close. It will come roaring back just like it has over the better part of 12+ years now, but if you're retired and your savings gets cut in half....That's exactly why I suggested an advisor. If you have grandious plans to "retire early", and a TOTAL swing of 60k is holding you back.....you have a lot to fucking learn.
