I have set buys every day in our Roth 401ks to dollar cost average. I’m not going to try to time the bottom of the market.

My wife and I have also changed our 401k contributions to pull contributions into the next 4-6 months. My wife’s company limits contributions to only 30% of salary so it will take a while to get the full $19,500 limit into the market. Also you never know if one of us will be laid off and lose that investment opportunity. 20 years from now the difference between one month and the next will be pretty small.
