SpendingProfile, I believe in investing in what you know best. Therefore, if you are good with fixing things and managing properties, you should definitely start investing earlier into real estate. However, it has its part of risk... as anything else ;-) Neil, you are right , it actually took until 1955 to reach the pre-1929 levels… quite depressing isn’t?

I would have to disagree. I got into real estate at 29, using all my savings that used to be in mutual funds. I only wish I'd done it 10 years earlier. Granted, I don't have much experience with the stock market. But with a husband who is skilled at fixing things (like tenants' leaky taps), real estate is so easy and stable, and provides a steady income - I don't know why anyone wouldn't get into it earlier. Payday comes on the first of every month. I don't feel as affected by the economy and don't have to worry about my stock portfolio disappearing. And it's backed by a physical asset, not a piece of paper. You say that a person should start buying real estate as they age. I would have to disagree.

As I'm 40 I suppose I'm just reaching the age where severe market corrections could do damage to my retirement plans (I aim to retire at 65). I suppose that since one has just happened this is less likely. Out of interest, do you know how long US stocks took to recover to their 1929 levels? I have in my head that it was 1952 but not sure about this. Hi

I am 25 and this post is a good reminder to me to not freak out. I should keep my money in the market as long as I can. Thanks for this post.
