Your words indicate you are better off, and better positioned to weather the economic headwinds.

What’s the delta between your 401k four years ago and today? I bet you’re better off.


Think of how much higher the DOW/401k's would be if the US was still growing at 3%+ GDP and didn't have the tariff uncertainty and Iran war. The opportunity costs Trump is costing your precious investor class is overwhelming.


My portfolio is over performing in this environment.

People here seem to forget 1/3/22 - 12/12/23 when the Dow stayed below 36,452 for 618 days.

That's great for people who have a lot of money in the stock market (us). It sucks for those who don't and people on social security, like my parents and sister.


Are your sister and parents prohibited from owning stocks? Did they commit insider trading? Maybe you should tell them they can set up a Robin Hood or Schwab account and buy some VOO shares with little or no fees? Better yet, since you’re so well off why don’t you be a good sibling / son / daughter and open an account for them and put some seed money in?

The problem with this country is that people don’t take any personal responsibility. But almost more importantly, financial literacy and investing aren’t even taught in K-12 schools, which is outrageous.


Right, right. THAT is the problem with this country 🙄

Yes, I was, in fact, better off financially under Biden.


How so?

Gas wasn’t $4.99, groceries weren’t out of control.

You democrats screamed and yelled about any investing of SS funds, so I don't want to hear about it now. You setup these pyramid schemes, so live with them.

You're a fool. But then you are a MAGA. The higher prices wouldn't be there if not for Trumponomics with this stupid wars, including a trade war, and we would still have a strong stock market.

Huh?

Democrats didn't suggest investing social security finds...what are you talking about? Democrats supported entities that had Pensions instead of 401k's.
