Just suck it up and work until the morning you die like the rest of us....
I was done at this time this year, as of this time last year. - $200,000.00 later......... Lost my nerve.I don’t think that’s a problem for most in this thread. If you’re 10+ years out, it’s “stocks are on sale…carry on”. 5-10…it likely doesn’t matter either. Inside of 5 I suppose you might feel a bit nervous that you’ll end up working an extra year or two.
Let me throw some water on this party. The finance guys I trust the most online think the market has another 15+% decline in it during 2023. They think bonds will rebound and yield over 10% in 2023. I haven't dug into the details, that was just their first broad perspective of what they foresee.
I was planning on going semi retired at the end of 2023, as of now I'm thinking end of 2024.I was done at this time this year, as of this time last year. - $200,000.00 later......... Lost my nerve.
Youre going to end up working until you are 75 at this rate, bud.I was planning on going semi retired at the end of 2023, as of now I'm thinking end of 2024.
And when you look at their advertising, someone is always right. We just don't know who that someone is.& The newsletter I subscribe to says the market bottomed in October and we will see new highs by the end of next year. There is a buyer for every seller. It is always just someone’s forecast.
Congrats on the date. March 4, 2025 for me. Just in time to head to KC and watch the Big12 tourney.I just filled in my end of year spreadsheet.
Down $149k and some change from this time last year.
I intend on hanging it up in 2 more years. 731 more days (stupid leap year)

Don’t worry about net worth, focus on cash flow. What really matters during your life.My net worth is down about 14% this year from last December.
WOW !!! That chart !FYI. 2022 was historically bad (see below). There could still be pain next year, and I personally think that’s the more likely scenario.

Net worth declined 3.1% in 2022, not terrible.

You got the countdown clock running?My full retirement date is March of 2025 as well. I figure the end of 2024 and chill a few months. Of course everything is subject to change
Awesome!!!Retired a year early this past April. My investments had a bad year, but my mental health is up 200%. 42 years in industrial automation sales and enjoyed the chase. CRM, micro management through spreadsheets and supply chain crap overcame any financial worries going forward. Ready to travel to football games in the future. Go Cyclones!
