It's PTSD, I'm in the same boat. But oh well, I still have most of my money so long as currency is still good... and if that goes bad, then all their assets are trash too, we all lose.
However, just recently with just a few thousand dollars of my already huge savings started gambling in some stuff... mostly bit shits. Riding the lunatic bubble. Really doing it for fun. Never have formally gambled in slots or played black jack. And dislike scratch tickets and the ridiculous major drawing games.
I figure this type of gambling is fun just playing around on the swing trade and maybe at some point when I keep a position to let some of it sit.
When the insane happens it goes up a few orders of magnitude again, as it has over the past decade... I'll have an actual amount of money that I can buy a house with, or at least have in my savings for retirement...
Anyway, such ridiculous low interest rates, held 11 month CD and some others for almost nothing return.
I have savings time and half yearly income. Plus retirement 401k; the gimmick of our generation considering the power that is the defined actual pension plan.
I think no matter what you do right now, in a decade or so, things are going to be more insane. There is no better way. I think many of us are serious trouble. After you accept that you become happier again. And that's what matters.
But yes, PTSD. I turned 18 in 2001. I saw as a child the "mild" recession 90's savings and loan scandal recession, then the dot com bubble bust, then mid 20 year old the real-estate debt crash... and during this time the complete dismantling of decent paying jobs with asset prices such as homes and even rents increase well beyond that of wages, in fact wages have largely decreased even for college graduates with not just one degree in one subject but several.
Then you couple climate change to the race to the bottom....
You're not the only one that forgone the 2010's run up. I thought it was going to crash back in 2016.
