Other than the usual monthly bills and a school loan, I dont owe anyone a damn thing... its a beautiful thing

Delayed yes, but if you stay in the market, within 5-6 years you made it back. And with investments, it's not like your taking out all your money out exactly when you retire. You draw it down very slowly so even a market crash like 2008, you could have still done it and came back ahead of your previous high.

We really have no choice though, those of us without pensions that is. Liquids savings just gets eaten up by inflation much too fast to be a retirement option. And those under 35 should not even worry about social security. It's all on you to retire.

There were beatdowns in the market in 2001 and before which affected most people in their late 50's early 60's now. I remember a time where people were told save intelligently in a savings plan, own your home (some even called your home equity your "nest egg") and you will be set. Not anymore....

I fear for my kids more than myself these days......health issues (and watching the Chiefs & Royals) will probably get to me before my money runs out.

Im glad I got so much bitcoin in the last two yrs. I didnt even want bitcoin, but it was the easiest way to get paid. Its been a pretty good "investment" so to speak in the last two years. I figured it would continue to tank as it got to a high of like $1200 per bitcoin in 2012ish and dropped like a rock after.

I'm convinced that these simple index strategies are the best for the vast majority of people, lazy or not. Completely unexciting, but the odds are against beating the market over the long term, it's great that you're figuring this out at your age.

Is there even a point to the bullshit beyond paying for drugs on a silkroad knock off?

ROFL

I'm seeing a bankruptcy lawyer tomorrow I hope it can give me a clean slate I just can't keep up with the debts I got myself into and all the hours at work I do isn't doing me a bit of good when interest eats my paycheck.

DaneMcClouds wife has a BH like a tube of circus peanuts so he has at least $3.50. He isn't broke.... tonight.

I just paid a friend's attorney fee for him to file for bankrupcy.

He seems relieved. Hope it gives you some room to breathe.

Yeah I hope it is too. After talking to him on the phone I felt some relief but it still seems overwhelming to me and going through everything I need is a headache.


I wish life had an easy button like shopping at Staples.

I admire the effort at creativity with your insult, however I find it a little "Mediterranean ave with no houses" to take a random pot shot at his Mrs.

Well he told me to die of AIDS in my ass. So their.

Still not a shot at your wife. Raw move dude.

****ing terrible. Piece of shit thing to do, asshole.
