Ok, to use post '08 as an example, what's your alternative? Interest rates went to zero, RE was battered, but, in hindsight, was an amazing opportunity, but nobody wanted to dive into that pool besides the bold. You just had to turn off the noise, relax, and take a bike ride or something. It all came back. This happens a lot. At least it wasn't 29 until the fifties. That was bad. But, over time, you're going to see about 6% growth in equities, and that's going to keep you ahead of inflation, with change to spare. But, in the long run, we're all dead, as Keynes said. So, enjoy yourself.
