I think you are doing the right thing. Always remember that "slow and steady" is the way to invest.

You are doing exactly the right thing (eventually consider adding some VXUS). Keep it up.



Thanks! I’m looking forward to my last tuition payment next year so I can start really investing.

What's your allocation? I'm basically even with the market plus savings. What am I doing wrong?

My net worth (excluding home equity and 529 plans) grew 17.5% year over year, so most of it was market gains, and the rest was brute savings.

Must have shorted the market at the beginning of the year and then went "all in" on international small value stocks. Brilliant!


A lot is from contributions so not 100% growth

And then,.depending on the investment they expect you to pay taxes on the "gains" at some point. Good scam they have going there.

Assets minus liabilities. That's it.


So I’m at around $170,000. Sounds pathetic.


That’s not pathetic! You’re in the black. Keep going!

My first half was messy due to some business moves then the decline, so it’s hard to calculate, but growth was 14% June-Dec. or about a $1.5 M increase.
