What if you retired into a lost decade?

One of my readers retired at the peak of the dot-com bubble followed by two crashes & a lost decade

Here's the story about how he managed his investment plan through some seriously bad luck on retirement timing:

There are two parallels between the railway bubble of the 1800s and the 2020s boom times:

1. It was a massive infrastructure buildout

2. It was full of grifters

But the grifters back then were on another level

We have a housing affordability crisis

The good news is housing is much more affordable in the US than many other developed countries

The bad news is unless we do something about it things could get even worse

A guy put 50% of his portfolio into MSTR in the $300s (it's now ~$175)

He used margin to make the purchase

The money was to be used to buy a home

The 401k max contribution limit is up ~30% in the 2020s

Investors always talk about what stocks to buy, biggest risks, economic data, etc

That stuff is far less important than simply maxing out your 401k every year

Saving more money is your best hedge

3 options to fix a broken housing market:

1. 50 year mortgages (not that helpful)

2. One time 3% mortgage for anyone who missed out (not bad)

3. Build more housing (we're deregulating everything else but not this for some reason)

3 reasons we can't have another 1929:

1. There are more rules in place (no SEC, FDIC back then)

2. The stock market is way more important (1-2% of households owned stocks in 1929)

3. Policymakers have learned from past crises
