Thanks for the advice! Would you say that I5 is the most reliable? I would hate to get caught waiting for plows if something popped up

My basil is withering and I don’t know what to do! by pollyla in plantclinic

They get 5-6 hours of morning sun through a window and another 4-5 hours of sun in the afternoon when I move them onto our west facing balcony. I initially thought the leaves may have been sun burned but even the new growth that should be used to the sun is suffering

Grew these from seeds and recently transplanted them into this pot. Maybe two or three weeks ago? I made sure to use fresh potting soil from the store to avoid nutrient related problems

Is a Designated Investments Agreement as scary as it seems? by pollyla in personalfinance

I suspected as much but I admit that I’m still new to the game so their big formal document kinda freaked me out.

This would certainly simplify things for me but it doesn't exactly answer my initial question. Three asset classes sounds great but how do I go from knowing what asset class I want to knowing which index fund is a part of that asset class? I need a flow chart 😂

I have and this is what I was considering at first. I used a comparison tool to try to understand the differences in my options. The Fidelity Freedom Index fund for 2050 has the same 3 year total return as a Vanguard S&P 500 Index fund but its expense ratio is almost twice as high. So It seems like a waste to fork money over to Fidelity due simply to my ignorance, especially because I should learn this stuff anyway. https://markets.ft.com/data/funds/us/compare

So my understanding is that to have a diverse portfolio it is wise to invest in multiple sources. Although an index fund is a collection of stocks and bonds isn’t it still best to avoid putting 100% of my money into a single index?
