It's hunker down time with stocks...

This means you use JIF peanut butter for your sandwiches, and all other peanut butter needs, because choosy moms choose JIF.

Nah, too much sugar in that. Gotta go natural. Peanuts, salt.

All depends on inflation, how entrenched it is. Ukraine, China bit of a concern too, but Inflation is the major Catalyst ATM.

It's about a third time that you're mentioning the size of your retirement wealth.

I hope that you're not bragging.

I'll think about that...I did not respond to the size or their question. I didn't take the bait...

None of their business. How do you explain that you have unspent powder on the side, if opportunities arise??

I use a percentage of my liquid net worth.
Right now I'm 59% in cash.

Almost one in ten people in the US are worth at least $1,000,000.00

Off the net...There are about 22 million millionaires in the U.S. 8.8 % of U.S. adults are millionaires.

An example...

A teacher married a mail carrier in the US...30 year together. Own their own home...Has over $100,000. in pension money coming in a year. They watch their spending...Not too crazy or out of line...

When more stock options for tech companies kick in, there should be more...

PS Here is two examples to chew on (I am not a teacher).

From "The Millionaire Next Door"...New York Times best seller for months.

There are more teachers who are millionaires than any other group!! Why is this so...You can chew on that one.

Also, 95% of auctioneers are millionaires...How could that be??

These were 1995 figures, but it gets you thinking...

I hate the hydroginated junk even worse than the sugar;
so peanuts you could feed to an elephant are fine also.
Always a bull market somewhere, like Jim Onite Cramer says

90 % cash and real estate for me. Rest Bitcoin and cano health. But I swing in and out of market, so I might be zero cash if the opportunity arises
