Thank you for this—and for shouldering some of the worry for the rest of us. That line really stuck with me: “since I am going to worry anyway, maybe you need to worry a little bit less.”
We’ve tried to build around that idea in our own way. We keep a steady stream flowing into a fixed income “reservoir” so we’re not as exposed to the day-to-day swings. It helps us stay a little more grounded in how we’re actually living, not just what the market is doing.
And honestly… I try not to look too closely. We’re retired now—we’re not planning to get rich off Substack 😄
Really appreciate the clarity and calm you bring to all of this.
