The following chart, from the Bank of America (BofA) via Mike Zaccardi, show the S&P 500 Index since 1929 on a logarithmic scale.
The punchline of the chart above is that we have had three protracted secular bear markets since the Great Depression: 1937-1950, 1966-1980, and 2000-2013. The interluding times have been secular bull markets, with the prior two secular bull markets lasting 16 years (1950-1966) and 20 years (1987-2000). The current secular bull market (assuming it’s still alive) is ‘only’ nine years old based on BofA’s methodology (bull markets start when the S&P 500 takes out the bear market starting highs) and thus is really not as long-in-the-tooth as it seems.
Just some food for thought.

So everything around me is far out of reach based on incomes (I don’t know a single working person that can afford to buy the house they live in on current incomes) and what this chart says it’s all up from here?
I might as well just get a rope, same for anyone under 30. No possible way they will ever make enough $ to survive. The big joke with every single person I know is getting the F out of California because nobody can afford to live here. And based on that chart we ain’t seen nothing yet.
