I hear you. We went from the best economy in the world to now one of the least trusted.
I was planning on retiring at 70 which mean in a normal economy in 12 years seeing a multiple of 3 in my retirement nest egg.
The thing that's most likely to hurt us though isn't the market but inflation and the devaluation of the dollar. Both of those will inflate the stock market despite your buying power being less which is why in the past it has not been a good metric of how much you are being screwed by these wars.
