Friend sold his house and depressed now

He sold it in 2020 and the price has increased from 800k to 1.3m since then. He moved to a near rental apartment, unfortunately. He would have had 500k more if he sold it today. His tc is 85k, so he won’t be able to save 500k in his lifetime. The selling time completely changes his life,so miserable. He feels depressed nowadays, especially when he walks past front of the house from bus stop. Currently he has only 300k now. It’s hard to buy another house with current market and interest rates. Any one experiencing similar?

He was able to afford a 800k house on 85k TC?

Exactly I'm at double t. and can barely buy a half price house

He probably bought it for 400K back in 2014

I am poor today because my grandpa decided to sell the land in 1942. Should I be depressed?

It is a totally different thing. Why would you compare?

This. It's not different @sbdkfk. It's the same wasted emotional energy on something that occurred in the past and cannot be undone. It's a waste to be sad and not figure out a new plan and move on that.

You can never time it accurately. As long as your target returns are achieved it's all good. Thanks

You can always time it. Buy and hold forever.

Optum LvBM72 May 7

Well sure. I personally set a target then sell and reinvest my profit.

What do you want to do with that experience? And why are you so worried about him? Let him choose what he want and stop enjoying others misery!!!

Give him your money or better yet let him live on your couch like a real friend

So much missing context ... They probably had reasons they sold outside of just dollars at a point in time.
