[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 131260685, member: 1488840"] Like I said, temporary but slow. To some, things like this cause fear and panic, and a sense of doom. I tend to look into the future rather than focusing on the present. As FDR said, all we have to fear is fear itself. It will bounce back but some seem to think it has to happen overnight or it won't happen at all. No, I still believe they will be hurt more financially if they get sick. Some will have no symptoms, some mild, some severe. However, they have a much longer life, per se, in the market to recoup any losses they may occur now. Getting laid off is hard but not permanent (or it shouldn't be). Getting sick to the point of financial ruin, which can happen to a person at any age, is one of the leading causes of going bankrupt today but is least likely to hurt those financially who've been in the market the longest and have more capital resources to draw from, i.e. the older generation rather than the younger ones.
