Several years ago a close friend of mine was having financial difficulties and asked for a loan so he could buy his kids some Christmas gifts. I loaned him $500 and considered it a gift. He promised to pay me back, but three years later, I haven’t seen a penny. That’s why

Retiring early is cool and all, but you still need something to fill your days. I know many dream of chucking their 9-5, but sleeping in gets old after a while. If you’re still working, think about what your passion will be in retirement.

Lump sum or dollar cost average? The math says lump sum, but here is one advantage DCA has: It builds a positive habit. When you invest consistently at planned intervals, you are building a habit that will improve your future.
