GFC part 2

I am so sick and tired of the rubbish and scaremongering from people who (on paper) should know better.
It is a breath of fresh air to read something which actually nails the real cause of the problem and
what the problem is (solvency vs liquidity)

It is like people complaining about shares going down and their super (like 401k) being down 40% this year after 4 years of more of 20% gains!

Year 1: $100,000
Year 4: $207,000
Year 5 $124,000
