Hopefully you weren’t like so many knuckleheads that sold off stock. It’ll come back up when the insanity pass’s.
I agree. Once the fear of uncertainty passes, the markets will recover. I have not looked at my 401K for the past month and I do not plan to look at it until this latest crisis is over.

Investing is a roller coaster- love that song bud btw- and of course at the end of the day can’t wait till the 20 gets here
Investing in stocks should only be done with disposable income. It's a crap shoot. My brother and I came into a crapload of stock when my mom passed last June. Guess I unloaded it at the right time.

Selling in a panic or current conditions is rarely a good decision. But then again, if it was inherited it’s a financial gain regardless.

I will say this that I too will be ecstatic when mid-May arrives as I believe that a lot of the chaos will have subsided. I know that you will enjoy that ride even more when the car arrives.

Only positive I can see out of all this is the fact that auto loans interest rates are dropping..... if anyone can beat 2.77 % you let me know! (72months)

I was under the same sticker shock on the used 2016 that I bought 13 months ago with 5600 miles on my birthday. When washing and detailing the car on the 1st time, I found the original title application along with proof of insurance on the documentation shelf in the glove compartment for the original purchaser. He paid 89K OTD back in 2016 and I scored the car in February 9th of 2019 for my birthday for 48K OTD. The car had never seen the rain till I drove it home after signing the documents. It likewise scared the crap out of me buying such an expensive ride. It still had bumper/bumper warranty for 3 weeks. I visited my dealer and bought the max Ford warranty before the B2B expired. The car made me forget about money each time I drove it and the smile was very hard to hide. :)

The car had no issues with its 1st summer as a daily driver in Austin. I think you did the right thing!! Enjoy the new ride and anytime you question the decision, go for a drive. :)

I’m starting to see 0% interest loans for new cars now- up to 84 months. Unfortunately not Ford and definitely not the GT350R. Awesome rate, but keep watching for new incentive offers from Ford Credit.

I know it sucks, but it’ll pass. The bright side is there’s still actual dates involved. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it that much more!
