A 20% drop in managed futures that is leveraged to a 40% weight would have added another 800 basis points to the decline (simple math). The first from when I worked at Fisher Investments in 2002. In 2008, VBAIX was down 23%. The risk/reward in this example doesn't seem worth it to me.

Even Mr. Money Mustache, as a person who retired 17 years ago, is still in this boat for the simple reason that my retirement income from dividends and hobby businesses is still greater than my annual living expenses (which still hover around $20,000 per year). 3) Okay, but I really am retired and trying to live off my investments now.

One is that a politician who votes to cut benefits or raise the retirement age will probably lose some voter support. Keep in mind that extending the full retirement age (FRA) to 68 or 69 or whatever is a de facto benefit cut. The last sentence is about the math involved not about the right and wrong of any of it which we'll get to.

So you retire in 2018. We talk about an S-curve for most industries, and there’s a very rapid expansion when you start with a good idea, and few people going after a very large pot, especially for distressed when you think of the 2001, 2002 periods.

And I was a math nerd as a kid. You’re 34th, you’re retiring after 34 years and you trounce what’s really the more appropriate benchmark, I would assume the Russell 2000. 00:49:30 [Speaker Changed] I bought it around 2000 and it crashed around 2002.
