Oh, my fellow posters, why are you so alarmed?
From Jan 1, 2020 to July 31, 2022, the S&P went up 33%. This despite a worldwide pandemic, and all sorts of political turmoil and war going on. Does it make sense?
So, we will not do as well this year of 2022. I think we are just giving back some gains that are undeserved. It's not the end of the world.
Come on, pour yourself a stiff drink, and go to bed early today. Tomorrow, you will wake up and see that life is still good.
PS. About that 33% gain, you did not withdraw and spend all of it, did you? You stuck with the 4% SWR, did you not? If so, you still have plenty left over for lean years.
