[quote=Anonymous]OP I think my DH and yours are twins.  I've gradually just started investing, and then telling him about it.  It's been that simple.  I started during March/April of last year by moving some of my retirement that was in bonds into large cap stocks.  (This was an easy first move because it was "my" retirement after ll, even though we view everything as "our" money.)  Then, I dropped a few hundred into the kids 529s during the dip (not knowing if the market would keep going down or start going up).  Then last fall I just started buying index funds in a broker age account.  I started with a few hundred.  Told DH. The world didn't fall apart.  Then I did a few thousand, it got easier.  I've only put in $15K total now, but DH is seeing the actual increase in our modest account, and he knows when he looks at the market over all of last year that we missed out big time.   But it is a risk, you have to be prepared to loose it all, or at least to be patient to get it back.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  [/quote]
