If you’re under 50, you should be welcoming this pullback

If you’re under 40, you should be ecstatic.
I started investing in my 20s right at the beginning of a 2-year bear market. It seemed like every time I checked my account, it was in the red. Always fricking red. It was starting to piss me off. I was too dumb at the time to realize my good fortune.
If you’re relatively young and not taking advantage of times like this, you’re making a mistake.

Other than my monthly DCA I’m just struggling trying to figure out what else I want the buy

Well, I'm a little under 50 but I'm pretty much fully invested outside of my bi-weekly deposits. What sucks is that I rolled over a 401k into an IRA in mid Jan and thought about trickling it back into the market since stocks were so expensive, but I didn't do it

What if you're 51? I'm sitting on a ton of cash and was starting to get antsy. I actually feel a little relief that shite is dropping like I hoped.

I am on cloud 9. So many things was overpriced

Some of us don’t want to work till 65

Please tell us your super early retirement plan that is opposed to buying more shares when they are getting beat up? I need to look into this.
Or please tell us your retirement plan that implodes if the market drops down to where it was 6 months previous, so I can not get in on this.

Or wait until they’re 65 to use their money to for a down payment.

And if you are mid 50s and have seen your account drop $210k in 20 days?
I was considering retiring in 5 years (at 59 1/2) but this may extend me all the way to 65.

Must be exciting actually believing that your investments will go up 20% a year forever. I’m almost jealous I didn’t trick myself into believing this and partying like I would retire when I turn 40 for the last few years

Pay off my mortgages and max everything I can between 401k Roth then rest goes to my investment account.
Once my net worth hits 5MM I’m done
Right now my asset allocation is 60% real estate 40% cash/investments. Looking to shift this to more 30/60 heavy on investments

If your plan factors in zero downturns over 5 years, it probably isn’t very realistic, especially after the last 2 years.

Just bought $7K of SCHG at end of day in a ROTH IRA. I'm not touching it for decades so I have to think technology will recover.
Real decision will be on when I want to use taxable brokerage dry powder. I'm leaning towards heavier DCA into this over the next couple of weeks.

This is my number, except liquid net worth (ignore home).

The DOW is still almost 42,000 and S&P 5600. Why is this even a topic. In all fairness the market is inflated so far beyond what it has dropped its ridiculous. We’re all playing with Monopoly money at this point.

I'm 52, still working, sitting on a pile of cash I pulled out 3 weeks ago waiting for the inflated market to get popped (thanks Warren Buffet). Look at the P/E's, that was unsustainable.
I expect a really good correction simply out of fear of the unknown. There will be a time to buy GREAT stocks at a huge discount.
We aren't NEAR the bottom, and I don't recommend trying to catch a falling knife.
Buy BTC while it is cheap and don't look back.
