Friend told me this is post worthy, anyways I’m blessed. I withdrew everything and put it all into VOO. Hoping I’ll be ahead of my age group for future retirement. God bless America.

If you keep investing you never quit. So you either quit with 115k. Fall behind. Or invest I my passively into things that average 10% per year roughly. Or you risk it in whatever you are now and risk watching it grind down to $0 or hit millions.
