Buy cash-generating assets early and often.

Time in market > Timing to market

Do it!

Well if we’re being honest, unrealized capital gains really should be taxed. Better for the market overall since it would force selling and eliminate concentration of wealth.

That certainly depends on where they live and how many millions they have.

Problem is when prices of stuff keep going up and wages dont compensate.

All its going to take is another COVID type thing (assuming politics is still cyclical after Trump2) and shite is going to start getting reeeeeallllllly uncomfortable for alot of people.

That article sort of hurt my brain.

Eta: this (ala Taxing Authority)

In the past 10 years (basically after GFC, divorce, then cancer threw me to the mat), I have somehow backed into a much more involved career and RE portfolio than I ever intended or wanted. But I still feel like most of my “wealth” is just inflation. I have hedged against it but that’s about it.

no way, but you will see taxes increase which will directly effect these pre-tax retirement plans

If I said the sun was coming up tomorrow, Im sure you'd disagree.

The poster said the wealth transfer was starting in 20 years. As your article stated, it has already started.

I'm trying to hit two, in retirement accounts, before I retire in 18 months.

The crazy market returns since in the 2009 have made a lot of millionaires out of ordinary people.

You should read the article.

And this isn’t to be snarky. We simply need to be honest about what the “wealth transfer” actually is.

The vast, vast majority of Americans will not receive anything.

What is the point of making it out to be more than it actually is?
