AJ reports how he gets nervous in the current market. Stocks are dropping, interest rates are being increased, a recession AND depression is likely on the way. What are we supposed to do?
Recession maybe depression:
- We saw a decrease in GDP last quarter.
- Biggest money print off during pandemic
- Interest rates bumped half a percent, biggest bump since 2000.
- Biggest stock market fall since the pandemic
- China is still on their total lock down plan
Investing is scary
- You can invest one day and the next day see the market dip even more
- I stopped investing in 2008 for this reason
- Leaving money in cash is worse
- And having nothing at all is personally destructive
- It’s not fun to see loses
Push through hard
- What we are doing here, is fighting through that fear and going harder
- People who bought houses in 2008 are wealthy today
