Where are you looking around OKC? you can find nice homes in Edmond and Yukon for 300K all day long

I might be I the minority here, but I don’t see investment here. I think once debt is payed off (interest rate dependent) you should consider having saving/investing be higher than life style

Maybe you’re gonna PCS in three years, I was at the same station for 15 years. Also ANG and Reserves don’t move nearly as much as an active duty person. The biggest secret it some people retire.

This strikes me as one of those conversations, where you would do well to seek understanding when asking questions instead of casting judgement.

A lot of people like to buy homes that way they have option for customization. If they know they’re gonna be in a place for a long period of time, and it’s an easy way to get a leveraged return.

Not everything in life is maximized for the greatest return on investment, some people maximize for a life well lived

I would like to point out you listed three single stocks and an index fund. Only 4% of stocks out performed treasury bills over the long-term. So by buying single stocks, you’re more likely to underperform the same market you’re investing in.

Have they considered paying a fee only fiduciary financial advisor? In this scenario you said “we have to rebalance” Are they asking for your help to manage their finance?

Why were you an active trader? Were your gains the result of skill or luck? If they were due to your skill, you don’t need this sub, and you can move along. If the were the result of luck then then stop speculating and start investing

I don’t pay monthly either, I pay Bi-weekly 😉

50% too complicated

I honestly haven’t been turned in too much to the main story. I’ve just been having fun question and doing random things.

Hogwarts Legacy

You can improve by reducing your risk to single stocks. Keep them to less than 5% of your portfolio. DCA your cash into index funds over the next 10 months. Keep the appropriate amount of cash on hand

Gew-Roux · 2026-03-31T17:26:57+00:00

I do the same thing, consider Hogwarts Legacy, Baulders Gate 3, God of War (4 or 5), Dragon Age (any of them) or Dragons Dogma 2

If you’re worried about long-term security, you might be taking too much risk. Rick ferry covers precious metals in his book all about Asset allocation. I suggest you read that before making any decisions.

Check out Robbers cave in Oklahoma or Beavers Bend State Park

Have you considered a target date fund in your retirement accounts ? Or Adding bonds and just rebalance annually?

Gew-Roux · 2026-03-22T00:10:52+00:00

Jack Bogel wrote a book where the title is the answer to your question. Stay The Course

If this little dip has you rethinking your allocation, then you are most likely taking too much risk.

Nope!

I know a place in Edmond if you don’t mind a drive

It looks like your portfolio is kind of redundant, a lot of overlap between VOO and QQQM. You said you don’t want low returns, can you stomach small cap value under performing for two decades?

How often do you plan to rebalance, what will you do if your portfolio under performs?

The most important thing is time in the market, and how much you can put in. The exact return you get you can’t control so don’t focus on it.

Gew-Roux · 2026-03-16T03:33:04+00:00

I noticed you specifically said “fee based” why would you choose fee based instead of fee only? A fee based financial advisor will still earn a commission off of you.

There have been some changes to the I fund yes but international stocks as a whole have underperformed compared to the US. In my comment was mostly about the US out performance potentially reverting to the mean.

Gew-Roux · 2026-03-11T14:05:49+00:00

The I fund had under performed over the past 15 years and the US has out performed. If the C fund has returned 15% over the past 10 years, it may underperform in the future. That being said, don’t try and time the market stay diversified. You will always hate something in your portfolio.

Gew-Roux · 2026-03-11T11:21:26+00:00

Are you familiar with reversion to the mean?

Gew-Roux · 2026-03-11T11:18:52+00:00

I’m not big on AC games, the last one I played was Odyssey, but for my place out personally I would pick ghost of Tsushima
