DCA is great, but it’s not foolproof.

Only posting this because of all the comments I see of people saying to continue DCAing and being overly optimistic about continuously buying. I think we will see a bounce soon, and I DCA myself, but in a recession things don’t always go as planned. If you lose your job, you will likely stop DCAing if you have no income. You also may have to sell your stocks to pay for shelter and food. There have been some questionable posts on here asking if they should use their emergency fund to buy stocks, or how they plan to buy the dip. I don’t want to be a fear monger but people need to understand things aren’t guaranteed and there are real risks to DCA index investing.
