I don't see any difference between this sell off and the one that took place about a month ago.

I've been asked what will happen today and if I'm buying in DMs. I'm always looking to add solid growth companies with fundamentals and vertical markets I feel good about.

"FIRE Planning: Health Insurance Cost Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge advocate of the FIRE movement. It stems from a lifelong goal of early retirement but an even greater focus on sound money management/growth principles and a belief of building plans utilizing strong foundations. I often use a pyramid metaphor when architecting a plan a wide base and a pointy top as I like to say. To that end I want to bring up what I consider to be the greatest risk to new FIRE individuals or those close to the goal and asking the question: "Do I have enough" I would encourage anyone interested in"
