Such a good point. Every time the market goes low I wish I had money to invest as it is such a good buying opportunity! We put in what we can and it is fun to see how things go. Even those nearing retirement shouldn’t be completely out of stocks as retirement for many, at this point, can last 20-30 years or more. To invest in so called ‘safe’ investments early in retirement means there isn’t any money growing for those last and many times most expensive years.

Point well taken, but in my view, the difference between a down stock market and a post-Christmas sale is that you know with almost certainty that the prices of the post-Christmas items will return to normal in 11 months, whereas the stock market is no where near as certain! Certainty has a lot of value.

Super article!

This is something elementary school to college and parents should teach to help Americans plan as well as reinforce financial readiness skills.

Hey Jennifer,
Ya, ain’t that the truth! You really hit the nail on the head with this one. I wondered if more people were thinking this way or if it was just “bargain bettys” like me! Ha!
Good post!
I also really liked the one about it being important to do what it takes to make you happy…awesome.
Thanks for all the go0od relevant stuff!
