About this episode
Russ discusses a significant drop in net worth and its implications for long-term investors.
Our net worth dropped $53,000 in March 2026 — knocking us out of millionaire status. But here's why I'm not worried, and why a market downturn might actually be the best thing that can happen to a long-term investor. In this portfolio update, I break down exactly what happened, what I bought, what I sold, and what I'm watching closely. We cover our first private equity investment, why I bought Microsoft again after selling it in 2023, the truth about BDCs like ARCC and Main Street Capital amid all the private credit confusion, and why dividend income kept growing even as prices fell. Whether you're new to investing or have been at it for years, this one is packed with real numbers and real decisions.
