I threw in the towel in April.

It's clear we are Wile E. Coyote running in the air already past the cliff and we haven't fallen yet.

What does it mean to throw in the towel, in your case? Divesting from the stock market? Moving to a hobby farm? Giving up on humanity?
Any dream of owning a home, having retirement, even a career after a couple years when it’s clear I’m over the hump. I’m trying to squeeze as much as I can before that happens and squirrel it away so at least I can have a van down by a river.
What does squirreling it away mean though? A pile of cash instead of investments? The reality is that you don’t get to throw in the towel.
SPY/VOO/land with a river for the van. Probably working at the local Shell or 7-11
