100% shitty management - remote workers force managers to do more than just float around an office having hallway conversations.

I mean… he’s not wrong… just an asshole.

The new sword fighting in office chairs because “compiling”

I can see where this is going. I don’t disagree that just about everything is in worse shape than I’ve ever seen it, but don’t look at the stock market to help substantiate your claim. People with the excess cash to invest are doing just fine. Good luck out there ✌️🕊️

You think that’s the chart for S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq?

To be sure - the stock market is not a good measure of economic health. Nor do I disagree that what you and the people you know are experiencing as your lived experience. But whatever that is, it’s some historical cherry picked chart that is not YTD performance of the major indexes.

General total market exposure: yes. ETFs can provide exposure to the total market, just tech, renewable energy, etc - if you have conviction about a sector/theme of individual equities there’s probably an ETF for that. That said, “ETF” alone doesn’t tell us much other than you’d like to play safer and more easily than picking individual stocks to play. When shopping, check in on what specific stocks the ETFs are invested in and how they’re weighted compared to others in the same theme you’re looking into.

Unless the family is filthy rich and can weather all of the storms that come with old age, it’s best to not count on it and be pleasantly surprised is there is an inheritance - expect nothing other than what you yourself can provide for is the best approach imo … this is the American way these days. I’m early 40s and am not even counting on social security being around, be cool if it is, but this place is a shit show.

First just take that 100k of rainy day funds and get it into a high yield savings account at like 3-4% APY - that should at least give some solace that it’s not evaporating at the rate of inflation.
