My retirement fund that I just started was worth $15k in December of 2021. Then, May of 2022, our area was hit really hard. My retirement plan went down to $7k. Today, it’s worth $11k. I lost $4k on my retirement plan. It’s invested in total market funds, some tech, some big cap companies, and healthcare. But every sector has been ravaged by the stock market changes.
How did you manage to lose money on a 3 fund portfolio, if one of its strengths is that it never underperforms the market?
Something doesn’t add up. Sounds and looks like you gambled first and then went with a solid investment.
Maybe it’s time to think about the capabilities of your financial advisor. Is it a friend or a professional?
