Hey Thinktank,
I've been sitting on my savings for a while and want to put it to work for retirement savings.
Thinking of putting 70% into XGRO (global diversified ETF).
If this is for retirement (i.e. don't plan on touching it for the next 30ish years), does it matter if I throw all my savings in at once or should I be trying to DCA over next few weeks/months?
It's about 26k in total that I want to put into XGRO or some other diversified ETF.

Boeing stock - lowest price in 3 years. Hoping it keeps dropping!

What percentage of your portfolio is active v passive? 29M - no mortgage kids etc - currently have 85% in low cost index funds and the remaining 15% in active ETFs and stocks. Curious how others are approaching this topic

I just hit my lean fire number but am hesitating to pull the trigger, so was hoping to run it by people smarter than me:

- I have a few rentals that bring in ~$1800/mo cash flow, taxes are negligible, Capex incl.
- My paper assets will bring in ~$1200/mo at 3% draw
- I get free Healthcare at the VA
- No plans on kids
- My expenses haven't topped $30k/yr ever
- I could always reenter the workforce if needed (albeit probably not in consulting)

Please point out the flaws here, what am I missing?

Is it true that some* debt is good debt. I’m referring to student loans, interest is ranging from 2% - 5% (all federal loans). Total is 20k, is it smarter to pay it off immediately and ASAP or just stretch and put the extra money into investing? Note I just graduated this year, thank you guys :)

Anybody have experience with PenFed for a VA loan? Came up in a search and their rates are extremely competitive. Any reason I shouldn't take the lowest bidder?

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife!
