I started investing in 2013. At the time I had probably $3k. Last year I inherited around $50k and I invested it all. So basically I've never lost a large sum of money, but a 1% drop of my portfolio is almost worth a paycheck (I am a college student). I don't have the money to buy after a dip, so if a significant drop happens, do you have any strategies not to freak out? It's so easy to say "idc about the drops it will eventually go back up" but people that say that have probably never through a bear market. Hopefully my portfolio is 90/10 so I have a little bit of bonds. I was thinking of maybe not logging on my brokerage account for a few months if a crash happened, but I'm sure that some people who have been through 2008 have tips for the rest of us!
