Nope......the fund I was i that I pulled out of 2 months is down almost 4% since the day I pulled out. Had I sat tight I would have had a lot less money to put into the fund I got into today.

If I kept the job I have now I could retire with much more in half the time. Myself and my employer are putting 40k per year into my 401 right now and that doesnt count HSA or IRA contributions .....I could do an easy million in 10 years if I wanted to stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the pro's have a fucking clue? For every guy you find telling a client one thing you have another telling him the exact opposite. I'll take my chances on my own. Millwright I was working with yesterday saw an FA this week. Guy told him if he was going to retire in the next 5 years to keep everything in cash right now. Well lets see......if that guy is scared about the next 5 years why the fuck would I want my money exposed regardless of when I am going to retire?

Some are im sure but having someone who is good at what they do working for you is a great asset. Day trading is not a retirement strategy. Any good manager will set you up for your long term goals. diversification is the key. Stop being a pollack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 High Risk-High Return is the only way to fly. I say risk it all...if you are young enough. Planning for a nice retirement in your mid-60's is for suckas...and besides, that's what Social Security is for if you lose it all. Ramen noodles and generic diapers...until death comes. Course, be like MC..find an internet place to spew sadness to occupy some time between assisted wipings. LET FLY, BENSTER!!!!!!!!!!

I might join the IBEW when I get back to MN and work union for 10 years for the pension and annuity. I wont need as big of a paycheck backhome and it would be nice to have the pension etc to diversify my plan for retirement. I dont plan on working into my 50's....I plan to take my 50's off and live modestly and the money will come when I can start to tap my 401k at 59.5. Then the early option on SS and a pension would be nice in the early 60's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyAspirated Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I am on track for 2.3 million at retirement. I could make due with that I think. We will see what the market does... Neal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
