      It drives me insane how many people turn a blind eye to the funny numbers needing to always go up. Every “investor” will tell me how the market has never not recovered; how I’m the fool and surely not them for trusting in the system.

      I hate that my retirement depends on a 401k, or money that constantly depreciates.
