Avoid the noise, buy the market and stay invested

I’m a diy 66year old new retiree. I’m also a proud follower of Jack B. I started out investing with the mentally of invest first the live off the rest. Borrowing from my 401k wasn’t an option and it bothered me to see others do it with no problem. My annual salary during my working year never exceeded $40k. But we never had to live off a budget. If the money wasn’t there, we didn’t buy it. Because of how we lived, I’m proud to say I’m a member of the two comma club and the idea of a budget still eludes me. So to the youth, spend within your means, don’t treat your retirement funds like a checking account and stay invested.
