OP. Think along the same lines. Will you sell your homes just because it drops by 500K? Same situation here. You'd be better off researching each of those holdings and you may find that you are not comfortable with a few of them that you may want to get rid of (together). Keep the strong ones. |
This is my retirement fund: VTSAX |
What I want to know: how much Crypto he owns. |
Austin tops the lists of a lot of bubble lists, can sprawl on forever, and suffers from being under Texas governance. It seems likely you bought a decade ago, and your $500k home is now worth $1.7M? I would not hang my hat on that equity, and make darn sure your DH doesn’t take a HELOC for more investing money. |
I don’t know if OP can handle the answer to this one… |
Don’t your employers manage your 401Ks? |
Huh? What in the world are you talking about. |
I don’t think so. We are one mile from downtown Zillow estimate is 1.9, 1.7 is conservative. |
You've got to be an absolute bozo dumbass to be down 50% in individual tech stock picks.
AMZN down 4.36 NOW up 3.51 ZS up 6.7% CSCO up 12.53 My main ETF QQQ up 2.92 Seriously what in the hell tech stocks are people invested in that they are down 50%?? |
How is he in tech management and makes such terrible picks? You have to be really slow to be in the industry and down 50%. |
So you both suffer from Hubris. Who the F cares about downtown anymore? |
They are all listed in the thread. All Motley Fool picks. |
Austin isn't going down. A lot next door just went pending for 2.2. |
Houses in your neighborhood are up 4x in value in the last 8 years. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4820-Rollingwood-Dr-West-Lake-Hills-TX-78746/29327903_zpid/ For example. You really did buy your house for like 500k in 2012, right? And now your DH has translated that luck as skill in his mind. Austin really does seem MORE expensive than DC, which only happens when you have a bunch of CA equity locusts throwing around money wiley niley. Your income is insufficient to buy your current house; most people who Austin aren’t making that kind of money. |
Never leave the s&p. Best way to do things. Set it and forget it until retirement |
