    40 years ago, in 1985, $15,000 was worth $5,000. The S&P 500 was valued at about $185/share. 5000/185 = 27 shares. SP500 today is about $6,664. 27*6664 = $179,928.

    Go ahead and ask every 59 year old in your life if they’d feel better about their retirement with another $180k sitting in an S&P 500 ETF.

    Open an account on Vanguard or Fidelity or Schwab or whatever, buy an S&P 500 ETF, and leave it the fuck alone.

    This was not any sort of nudist camp though.

    Sure sounds like it was. And nudists are weird.

    Some small children, too.

    Yep, weird.

    I (male) am in the upper regions of this bracket

    That makes you, in the eyes of the weird, weird.

    I had my misgivings about forcing him to leave.

    And that whole situation, if all the other weird shit wasn’t already enough, that should have been your cue to behave as though a nun were constantly present, scowling at you, slapping a ruler into her palm. You did not, ergo I agree with JASN, you deserved this.

    Sorry man, but next time you want to hang with the weirdos, ask yourself constantly whether you vibe with the weirdos.
