You would be back to where you were before the temporary downturn, or slightly higher.... I have recouped all of my losses just by staying pat. Actually, up a bit, from prior high.

My 401k is at a record high. For all those that say things are bad now, they are simply gaslighting, or HOPING that things are bad.

I don't think anyone is HOPING things are bad economically. Prices on everything still suck -- and like cards, they ain't coming down. I was at a car dealership this week -- the same model I bought 8 years ago is now 50% more expensive. Just brutal. I suppose that's a better markup than groceries over that time.

None of this seems to've hurt spending on cards of any era. I think the percentage of people who alter spending on anything due to the market is very small.

That's surprisingly little given how enthusiastically the Government has been debasing the currency over the last eight (actually 80+) years.
