Grim thoughts all the time, super self destructive, at once alienating and distributing "cries for help" or whatever you wanna call it. I spent like three years just crazy depressed. ![]()

And zero percent in equities is likely a dubious goal for a new centenarian. For example, surely many young investors beginning their first full-time jobs might as well regularly invest not 75 percent, but 100 percent of their savings in equities during those early years of investing. I hardly intended such an age-based rule of thumb to be rigidly applied.
