Why I Left an Airline Pilot Career

The one thing making me wonder whether the economy might not collapse is a theory from Yale sociologist Nicholas Christakis. He’s studied past pandemics and how societies reacted after them, and his claim is that economic booms are usually the result of people being panicked, holed up at home, restricted in what they can do, etc. for a long period of time. He’s basically predicting an economic boom over the next decade starting after widespread vaccination is complete. I’m skeptical, but he’s hardly a fringe kook.

I think anyone who claims to know either way is full of poop. There’s historical trends yes, but I feel like the last few years have been good at throwing any number of predictions across a bunch of different fields for a loop, even pre-covid.

Mine? You mean everyone. Seggy had a thread when the pandemic hit to check your 401Ks. I say, check it again. Assuming you didn’t go bat poop insane and start changing all sorts of investments, your 401K has probably recovered (if not gone even higher) than pre-pandemic levels in Jan-Feb.

Of course it has, the money I popped in to my IRA and brokerage accounts in March has done nicely too, but I didn't go bragging about it on a thread where people were all frightened of losing their jobs.

It was a dog whistle that conservatives only care about their 401k’s.
@Seggy is about as tone deaf as William Hung.

My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek but not entirely.

Not really? That was my own thread about the stock market tanking. It wasn’t about pilots or pilots losing jobs. And the quote you made is a response to ATN who basically said I was clueless and didn’t know anything about stocks or investments.

I wouldn't take @SlumTodd_Millionaire 's financial advice. Unless of course you like that old adage about having a few bucks left over, after starting with a lot more bucks.
Actions speak louder than words, etc... etc... etc...

Yup, dude got a solid 50/50 on being right, that's something right there.
 
The Yelp reviews are fantastic, but frankly, having dealt with various management companies (and dealing with one now, I love my HOA, yes, I do, so much), they all seem to be the same.
