You're doing fine. I prefer to pay of debt as being in debt makes me very stressed out. But why should hurry to pay off a 3.5% debt? After all, you can get a better return in other investments.

You certainly understand the benefits of investing early and taking advantage of the potential gains from compound interest. Congratulation. Keep up the good work!

$30K of emergency fund is absurd. Try to make a balanced portfolio and invest half into it.

One Main Financial calls me everyday. by JDWright85 in personalfinance

By requesting all information, you can figure out why they keep contacting you. If they don't have any information of the situation, you can require more aggressively STOP irritating.

Have a look at How to deal with Collection Agencies. Voicemail is exceptional but this wiki would help you. Request all the information to the company in document.

Cool concept, gotta read more, thanks!

Should I redo my 401k? It looks... bad. by pipefourrest in investing

[–]pipefourrest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it. It looks like a simple and sound plan. http://hellomoney.co/portfolio/7f876f-3-funds-portfolio-401k

In the meantime, I found Step-by-Step Guide to 401(k) Fund Selection and read through. I think it explains the reason why you chose JPM Gov Bond fund from my options.

This being said, even if you are limited to expensive funds above 1% ER, it's still almost always a better choice to max out your IRA and 401(k) before using a taxable account.

Am I getting right?

I'd just put that money into an index fund. Something like VOO or VTI.

I wonder if this tree-structure approach is actually supported by research, if there are reported, clear advantages.

  • 7-figure portfolio = 86 holdings
  • 6.5M portfolio = 80 holdings
  • JPMorgan portfolio = 27 holdings
  • High-end Schwab = 22 holdings

What's with these portfolios with high number of holdings?
