It doesn't affect you, so it doesn't matter who it harms. Good to know.

It's amazing actually. They come out of the woodwork and are now concern with *insert issues when they all had their collective heads in the sand along with Biden a couple of months before.

YOU are not cashing out in 25 years but lots of people are every year. What about them? It would appear that your mindset on it is "cost of doing business".What lol
That's a fair point. I think it was paid and dumb, but whatever doesn't end in riot is fair game.

If that's your reply then it says everything it needs to. We're crystal clear now. I hope everything works out well for you. There's nothing left to say here.

Calm down, brother. Shit. I was doing stuff. But let me break down what I'm seeing.
When responding to a post talking about how people's 401ks may be suffering right now you said "We need to sacrifice for the future. I'm not cashing out for another 25 years. Life happens.".
I then reply pointing out how that mindset is the problem and you're attitude suggests that you're only focused on you and yours and not thinking about people who will be retiring right at the worst of the downturn. Everyone else are the cracked eggs in your omelet. Your next post goes "Why would I be pulling money out now?" implying that you are not close enough to retirement age for this to be a negative in your life.
What's clear you don't see and exactly the point I'm making is that throughout your posts you're only focused on how it's affecting YOU and YOUR retirement. You're trying to challenge me to tell you how old you are and by going down that road you are precisely embodying the attitude which I was pointing out. The unfortunate part is that you don't even realize it.
Here's another nuance to this scenario that needs to be addressed: it's not sacrifice in the sense of a noble act by those negatively impacted by this economic downturn. As if they're on board. They are BEING sacrificed. I'm guessing you're young enough to endure the dip from your previous insinuation. We have the time to absorb this blow. The people retiring in the next few years should things get really bad are not CHOOSING to be a sacrifice for OUR future. To call it a sacrifice and telling the 65 year olds "life happens" is the exact egotistical and selfish mindset that people are pushing back against Trump for. The 65 year old sacrifices 50% of their retirement and then dies before it goes back up leaving them with less to live on than they were anticipating. We younger people sacrifice 50% of our retirement but it recovers and then some before we hit retirement age. So, who's doing the real "sacrificing"?
