[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. Yah. Luckily we have 1.5mil equity in RE but I’m scared of what he’s done. Totally reckless. We are late 30’s, 2 kids. I told him I am taking over finances from this point forward. He won’t switch out the stocks he’s in now but from this point forward it’s going to be all conservative choices. Unfortunately he basically gambled away our 401k doing this. [/quote] You are in your 30s, have 1.5m in real estate equity, and you're scared? Also, he didn't gamble away your 401k. He lost 50% of the value, but it easily could rebound in the 20+ years you have until retirement. Your husband is right about you. In fact, you may not be a fool, you may be a blithering idiot. [/quote] I bet all the men, who are statistically and biologically are more programmed to risk, are okay with this generally and it’s [b]a bunch of low info women who are aghast[/b]. That’s a huge generalization, and I know I sound like a dck, but really it’s probably true. It’s always part of the reason there is a salary imbalance between men and women. Men straight up advocate harder for themselves and take more risks.[/quote] Just leaving it here. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/27/why-women-get-better-returns-on-their-investments-than-men.html[/quote] That article confirms what PP said.
