assets will not go up every year, year over year, but I'm fairly comfortable in the fact that assets will go up over a 30 year period. why do I think this? because the individuals and groups that control the financial market created it in such a way that they can make money from it. they make a lot more than me, but I can still hitch my cart to their engine and go along for the ride. barring some huge financial collapse of global proportions, the likes that have never been seen except for maybe the bronze age collapse, or fall of the western Roman empire, I'm comfortable knowing that the assets I purchase today will be worth more in the far horizon (even adjusting for inflation) that they are today.
