Same. And by nearly every metric.Way better off. The market continually marching upward has beefed up the 403b. Love it.
Invested in Truth Social?My real estate holdings and my investment accounts (retirement plans and non-retirement accounts) are up substantially over the time that Biden has been in office. Granted, some of that has been offset by inflation, but they are up far more than the rate of inflation during that time.
To be fair, they also increased substantially while trump was in office.
A month or so ago, a couple of long-time friends (one very liberal, the other very conservative) were arguing on facebook. The conservative stated that between he and his wife, they'd lost "millions" in their retirement accounts. I stopped short of calling him an outright liar (though I'm sure he was, because with what he and his wife did for a living it's highly unlikely that they had much more than a million apiece in their 401ks) - but I did ask him WTF he was invested in that he lost millions of dollars in a time when the stock market overall was up significantly, and why he kept riding to the bottom whatever the hell it was he'd invested in. Not surprisingly, he never responded to me.
To say, "any" adult is an exaggeration in my opinion. I believe it's especially hard for young adults and first-time buyers to break into the market. I'll give you that.Any adult that desires purchasing a home but hasn’t done so yet is worse off. Homes are off the charts expensive and unattainable for the majority.
Which is likely bolstered by record-low unemployment.Anyone who's been invested and working has done well over the past four years,.. Others, not so much.
So I guess that leaves out the maga cult losers. Unless you're counting empty Keystone Light cans and a 31 year old trailer as an investmentAnyone who's been invested and working has done well over the past four years,.. Others, not so much.
I was doing fantastic both in my stock mutual funds and home value I purchased in January 2021. Killing it the last 4 years with property price and portfolio. Unfortunately, I sold my house and cashed in my portfolio mid March and put it all into DJT and am now have way less than I did 4 years ago. Thanks Kamala.
The market has done better than i expected, and then i sold 20 acres of level land, that has a river running underneath, so its been a good yr.

If he was deep in the cult maybe your conservative friend liquidated his normal investments to put it all in Truth Social and Trump NFTs.My real estate holdings and my investment accounts (retirement plans and non-retirement accounts) are up substantially over the time that Biden has been in office.

Almost everyone I know is better off now than 4 years ago, it would be difficult not to be better off considering the expansion of the economy under Biden.
I’m more convinced than ever that those who aren’t doing better now is because it’s most likely a “you problem”.
They should have improved their lives thru education and advanced training, gotten a decent job, worked hard, saved, and invested. You know, the 'Merican dream. Accountability is a bummer for those paycheck to paycheck folks who didn't.Leaves out most non-invested people who live paycheck to paycheck on a fixed income,.. Inflation has devastated this group.
Good u so smrtThey should have improved their lives thru education and advanced training, gotten a decent job, worked hard, saved, and invested. You know, the 'Merican dream. Accountability is a bummer for those paycheck to paycheck folks who didn't.
that's because you spend most of your money on dildosMy investments have been up in general but that money I am generating is worth a lot less.
Much better offJust curious.
Not sure my investments were down in totality during any presidency.
Seems rather pointless to look at it in that context.
Wealth inequality is a major issue in this country and has been for a very long time but that’s largely out of most people’s control and is long overdue to be addressed by governmental policy IMO.So the wealth inequality issue is a "you problem"?,... I guess in many cases I would sort of agree with that.
These are actually average annual returns. W was down 33%. Trump and Biden are neck and neck at the same point. Hopefully the trend follows like it did in the last two President's first four years.There have only been three times in the last ~100 years where the stock market dropped over the course of a presidency...Hoover (a lot, close to 30%), Nixon (minimal, 1 or 2%), and Dubya (2 or 3%)
