I would celebrate if any of this actually helped average people and reduced inequality.

But it won't, and it huts us more than them so nothing to celebrate.

Good news! I hope she loses more.

Me too! Actually I am LOVING the stock market meltdown. It's affected me ZERO percent because I was never rich enough to have millions involved in the stock market anyway! I spent all my income on paying off my debt and staying out of debt. Debt-free life is the only way to be totally free.

I'm totally free. :)

My only involvement with the stock market is my retirement account and that’s far enough in the future I don’t really care.

Congrats on the debt free life! That’s a great achievement!

Thank you! I retired at 50. Not because I was rich, but because I can live on basically nothing since I don't have debt. So I'm rich in "time" at least. Money, not so much. lol

lol Nice! I’d like to be at that point in a few years myself.

You got this, man. Just keep chipping at it, little by little. Put the goal date on your fridge, and keep at it.

I paid off my house and land and I never made more than 40K a year my entire life. It's all about just being smart and cutting expenses to the bone.
