<prompt> Human: My mother passed away a year and a half ago. My sister and I inherited money that I was not in a emotionalmental place to spend so I invested in Vanguard Index funds as advised and researched. Every time I check it gets lower. We have lost over 60,000 and I feel like a total failure who is wasting money my mother could have enjoyed. WTF? How far does this go before I put it in a god damn mattress?  <response>: The stock market is exhibiting its normal behavior - short term volatility. Your mistake is getting caught up in it. Focus on what you can controlWe have lost over 60,000Unless youve actually sold anything youve lost 0.
