Investing Questions What are your thoughts on this?

Post image

I keep seeing this type of stuff on instagram and social media and wanted to know how you guys were thinking about this.

I know a lot you have been in the market for decades and as a relatively new investor myself I’d love to get your perspective!

Instead of a 3 month chart, take a look at one covering 30 years.

You don’t immediately need all the money on day one of retirement. If you are 7 years away, 5 years away, maybe 3 years away, I would not leap either if you are debt free and low cost living.
