Watching your retirement account tumble as $10 trillion in market value evaporates can be a stressful experience. Here are seven facts to make you feel at ease as you watch the stock market plunge:

  1. You now have less money to worry about losing: Less money, less problems.

  2. Jim Cramer just said it can't get any worse: Phew!

  3. You are learning to be content in all circumstances, just like the Apostle Paul: Good for you.

  4. The baseball cards your wife tried to throw out are now your most valuable investment: Boy, does she feel silly.

  5. There are lots of politicians angrily screaming about it on TV: History has taught us this is usually a good sign.

  6. If you hold the chart upside-down, the numbers don't look so bad: It's all about perspective.

  7. If the tariffs work, soon Chinese finger traps will be American finger traps: It's a small price to pay.

Breathe easy, folks. It's going to be okay.
