Hi all, how did you solve the retirement puzzle?

As an expat, I went on the Degiro for investing at the moment, since the account can be used from all countries.

Have any tips?

About to invest $100k for my mom who is ~10 years away from retirement. My strategy would be to immediately put about $10k each in strong ETF’s like SPY, QQQ, and SMH. Then continuously buy dips. If we do have a major market correction, I would put another big chunk of the cash in. I feel pretty confident with this strategy but was hoping to get some feedback from other professionals as this account is very important to my moms retirement.

hi fishes, I have joined Iti as a lateral.

Anyone else faced this problem earlier?. If yes how did you act on it?
