I thought I was going to retired... SAVINGS MEANS UP RIGHT?
SAVINGS - INVESTEMENT means putting money aside for later that is suppose to beat inflation right WTF all the stock goes down now a day. in the last 3 years I lost - 200$ of 25,000$ `"investement"

Then you didn’t buy when it was over $42? Count your blessings. I’m down more (today) in less time with less invested. Div helps, but it takes time.

Younger can look at total return, and DRIP their investments if they want, or diversify with the divs paid otherwise. And yes, you can easily do worse listening to a lazy adviser. Older who live off their investments can sleep through the market gyrations as long as they don’t need to sell any time soon. Complaining about $200 on a down day is just silly.
