Not surprisingly, since President Biden took office, monthly savings have collapsed, falling 83%. (We could never understand how Biden could say with a straight face that Americans are saving more. His “transformation” of the US economy has had just the opposite effect.) Many millions of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck just don’t have the money after paying the inflated bills to save much.

But to add insult to injury, even what has been already saved and invested by older Americans over past years and even over several decades has been erased from these accounts.

Well, if itโ€™s any comfort, even Warren Buffetโ€™s investments are down by $30 billion.

Well, stocks are on sale - ready to buy? Or maybe you want to wait for even lower prices.

Easily 100k+
I refuse to look at my Fidelity account until the Brandon fiasco is over. And I don’t think the market will recover until a Repub is in the White House.

Itโ€™ll tank another 20% when Kamala takes the oath of office next year.

Stagflation is here.

Inflation but the economy is in a recession. The housing and real estate buddy is coming.

Perhaps things will improve after the November election. Wouldnโ€™t count on it.

For those not recognizing this as resembling 2008 on steroids, it seems they now own a 201.5k not a 401k.
When will Fed stop raising rates?
Seems their rate must overtake and cross the 2 Year Treasury rate.

Anyone who has a 401k and votes Democrat is an idiot.

My sis and hubby just canceled their 6 week trek across the country due to their multiple retirement accounts taking the hit. Along with gas prices

Money that would be going back into local economies along the way

My future retirement funds are only down 0.1% for the year.

I moved a lot of my investments to stable value funds and doubled my food supplies when that idiot took office.

Be prepared, it is going to get worse.

My wife and I retired with a decent nest egg. We scrimp and save now with the plan of leaving the maximum amount for our nine grandchildren. The DC junta is robbing my grandchildren more so than me.

I wish. With Bidenflation nearly doubting the cost of everything my savings have been wiped out. Sure the digits are still there but the purchasing power is gone. But no more mean tweets.

We’ve already lost $41,000 so far this year. Filthy ice-cream eating bastard.

I’ve lost 27% since the first of the year. My brother who really put a lot into his 401 and other retirement funds passed $250K in loses last month. He hates BiteMe and the people that voted for him the way God hates sin.
