Real estate, stock market, both?
Just curious how many people here have given up on the stock market as it relates to their retirement plans?
Given the lackluster performance of the S&P / Dow / Nasdaq over the past ten years does it even make sense to continue pumping money into these investments? I have lost faith that this money will even accumulate at 5% over the long term but can’t seem to bring myself to move away from putting an annual amount in so I feel semi diversified.
I rarely hear mention to the stock market on this forum so I'm wondering how many people are "all in" with real estate whether it's rentals, notes, HML, etc?
