This fatigue will probably continue until the US leaves the secular bear behind. Maybe we have left it behind, but at current valuations, I highly doubt it. Of course, the good news is once we do enter a secular bull market, returns are much higher than historical norms. And, we have had ten years of a secular bear so far so we are hopefully on the tail end of the bear. @Pakerberg,

The lost decade took away our hopes for and ability to retire with any sense of stability. Your description of being "advised" into maximum losses is so right on. And just like the wall street brokers, the investment bankers, and mortgage brokers, the so called advisors reaped benefit from our losses!
