Soon, I intend to start moving some of my money into a Schawb account(I like their website best, it's easy to find info) and I intend on posting all the details. I consider myself a normal person of normal means and want to take this to the next step and put Greg's advice into action. I'll most likely choose four stocks at most likely $1000 each. From there I'll post up how things are going. Updates won't happen quickly, maybe once a year.

All I want to do is show people what they can do themselves just as Greg has though I'm starting from scratch with the investing portion. I enjoy this stuff a great deal but I didn't know where to turn which is why I started this thread. I never expected Greg or anyone to step up the way he has with information. I was expecting to be pointed towards websites and literature and told to go read. I can see myself maybe taking a second career as a fee only financial planner in a couple decades. Obviously, I would need a lot more education myself before I did something like that but I like helping people live better. I just believe people waste so much money and they could live so much more easily and happily by doing simple things. I've given advice to my friends to help them get their finances under control to help them live better. It's methods that I used myself to keep myself out of debt while through college and my 20s. It was simple and very basic stuff like stop buying a damn 20oz coke everyday. However, it worked and I was proof of it since I walked away without debt. I figured I'd extend the courtesy to you guys since I started this post and show what I'm doing and how it's working for me. Any one else that cares to join me is more than welcome. We'll call it the Investment Club. Who wants to play Judd Nelson's character, lol?
