Roughly 60-70% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings and the average length of a recession last about 11 months. Meaning the average American could barely make it even 1/10 the way through without going completely broke.

Disclaimer: "I am not a financial advisor!" Just your average guy but this as been on my mind today.
We had 11 years of a incredible economy to save up more than $1,000 for this market downturn/economic halt and most people have nothing to show for it.

I have been monitoring the stock market for quite a few years and believe that no matter how bad some of the crashes are we always bounce back. This chart shows how the DOW has performed over the past 30 years. The bars represent recessions we've been in. Nobody can time the market perfectly but as Rothschild said "The time to buy is when there is blood in the streets".

If you are at all interesting in investing or just monitoring the market now more than ever is the time to pay attention. Easy ways to start can be done straight from your phone. A few apps that I recommend are M1 finance, Webull and Robinhood. You can easily setup a IRA account, invest in ETFs and so on.

Feel free to message me. I love talking about this stuff and hearing what others are doing / investing in!
