About Me |
Typical LBYM'er, recently dropped to part-time and looking to FIRE. Counting down the days... there aren't many left!!! |
Why I Joined |
Because NetworthIQ.com died |
Best Financial Decision |
LBYM, followed closely by buy & hold and resisting the urge to time the market |
Worst Financial Decision |
Buying penny stocks in a small company, simply because my friend had become a VP there. Total loss! |
Current Investing Strategy |
Max out tax advantaged account contributions (401k, Backdoor Roth IRA, Mega-backdoor Roth, 529), primarily utilizing low ER index funds/ETFs with aggressive growth portfolio. |
How do you manage your finances? |
Weekly accounting, "rebalancing" primarily through new contributions rather than actually moving investments. Auto-pay whatever I can, preferably with a cash-back rewards credit card. |
What tools do you use? |
Excel, Mint, PersonalCapital, FIRECalc, I-ORP |
I need financial help with... |
Mentally preparing for the upcoming draw down phase during early retirement. |
