Are you better off than you were 2 years ago?

[Thinker101]

If you are, good for you. If not, you have plenty of company.

A new poll shows a record number of Americans say they are worse off financially since President Biden took office, the most ever recorded by the poll in its 37 years of asking the question.

We'll all be speaking Chinese next year.

My 401K is slurping donkey balls but that started before Biden, but otherwise I am better off. Has nothing to do with Decomposing Joe or MAGA man though. It is just that I am at the point in life where pretty much all the crap I have been working to get then pay off is gotten and paid off so I am coasting til Retirement Day comes.

My brokerage account seriously started bleeding under "covid" but had recovered nicely before Trump was screwed out of office, and is now suffering again under Biden.

Absolutely not.

Being retired other than the high grocery/gas prices it's pretty much a wash....I do very well in the alternate economy where FTF deals and cash is King but i know everyone does not have the time or is savvy enough to "wheel and deal".

That said it's just the idea that the country is being run by a fuckin' Putz who, along with his band of elitist leftist turds, is hurting working people......That galls me no end.

No way for them to get ahead given inflation, food, fuel, daycare, and housing costs which has risen around 38% when you lump them together since the putz was installed like shitter in the WH.

Then you are seeing a huge decrease in personal savings....Indeed, people are maxing out their credit cards at a astounding rate just for rent/groceries, auto loan defaults are also way up.

I was near death in a hospital bed two years ago ... I'm better today ...

Congrats. I retired in 2008. The best advice I can give you is to use the 60/40 rule.
60% in growth stocks
40% in income stocks
That split can weather the ups & down of the stock market. (Plus Social Security)

I was better under Trump.

What day do you consider Biden taking office?

Inauguration day, dumbass.

Don't start your BS spin

 

[BluesLegend]

Biden and the dipshit Dems can't slow me down, I'm way better off in spite of those idiots.

Never mind Democrats did everything in their power to tank the economy leading up to the 2020 election. Same playbook they used on Bush.

Trump also saw a drop from about 29K to about 18K (Obama's final #) and it rebounded in days.
How do you account for the 1000 point loss from 1/19/21 (Trump) to 1/21/21 (Biden)
The Dow increased about 10K during the Trump admin's four years. Biden has presided over a mediocre performance of about 3K in his two years and the Dow has barely held onto that. But not much more can be expected with the miscues of this admin and their treasury sec. You teach math, eh? LMAO.
