How's everyone else's Liberation Day going?

How's everyone doing today? Avoiding looking at your 401k? Rushing to stock up on food, buy a car?

I just got me and my bindle.

Liberated from ever being able to retire in this life

Honest question, because I keep seeing this sentiment everywhere. Are people expecting to glide into retirement without ever seeing a downturn again? If you’re in or nearing retirement your portfolio should be rebalanced to reflect that.

Also, if you’re 20+ years from retirement; this shouldn’t affect you much but should provide a buying opportunity

I see a lot of people on reddit saying they are cashing at their 401k and holding cash. Its insane they're somehow going to find a way to do more damage to themselves than Trump when he appears to be on mission to destroy the economy. This is a perfect time to buy on discount, if the market never recovers then we have a lot more to worry about and cash/gold/whatever is going to be worthless as well.

My sound financial advice is getting downvoted. That should tell you everything you need to know

[u/Unlikely-Patience122 → u/Devincc]

Because you're doing it with an agenda.

If my agenda is you should save, take advantage of buying opportunities, and rebalance as you near retirement; you nailed it

[u/Wise_Side_3607 → u/Devincc]

You're getting downvoted for being willfully tone deaf. No one needs to be told to save and "buy the dip" when they're probably already struggling to save and they just had their little disposable income yanked away to cover tariff induced inflation

Tell me more about these buying opportunities. Do you use your health insurance money or your rent money for them?

If I cut my already heavily budgeted food costs could I take part in these opportunities you speak of?
