I think I'm doing alright
I've been watching this sub with great interest, because I also suffer from severe autism.
I set up a traditional ira about 6 years ago, dumped some cash in it, and just left it and forgot about the account. I recently looked it up and realized that it's been doing absolutely nothing. Maybe I didn't understand something, maybe I was told something would happen that didn't. I'm not sure.
My $4,000 is now worth $4,008.83 just from the interest of it being a savings account, I thought about all those ethereal tendies from it not actively being invested in anything and was upset for a moment, but then I realized: at least i'm doing better than the average wsb poster so far
