I'm not sure at what point someone needs to be in much more than the three basics -- Stocks - Bonds - Real estate (other than your home). At 58 - and I've been retired for 20 years - I've just this last year bought bonds. It just somehow felt "right" to put some money into nice safe tax frees... but the lack of growth kills me... because I've always gone for growth! At some point though - a guy needs some safety. So I guess I've got one foot in the grave!  |
Ha...yeah, I had trouble only writing "a little" because there is a lot to get excited about when you learn more and see what is really possible! I really do hope that one of the biggest things people take away from this is exactly what you said - investing is really simple as long as you stick to the basics!
Retired at 38, huh? I guess I'd better hurry up...I'm almost 36, so I only have a couple more years until retirement. Ha!

Tracy, are you advocating the start of an official Lateral-G Fund? I'm liking the sound of that!
