*Real Estate* is a _*Real Pain*_ (procedurally to buy, hold or sell)
*Equity* is an _*Emotional Pain*_ (daily volatility)
*Fixed Income* is a _*Fixed Pain*_ (we’ll never see growth in purchasing power)
*Gold* is a _*Goldilocks Pain*_ (the price / return sits between a bull & a bear)
But, if we need to avoid the critical long term _*Money Life Pain*_ ….there is no other way than to embrace the above 4 pains, in whatever bearable proportions ?
