I have chosen a specific percentage of my income to invest.  That money is going to be invested, no matter what.

Success in life comes from good judgment.  Good judgment comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad judgment. Learn from others’ bad judgment. Learn about Karl Eller.

 

Mechanics

Asset allocation is the single most important skill you can learn in finances.

Have 3 buckets.  How much you put in each bucket depends greatly on your stage of life.

Conservative: 60% goes into security, 40% goes into growth.
Aggressive: 40% goes into security, 60% goes into growth.
Super Aggressive: 30% goes into security, 70% goes into growth.

Security Bucket
– Investments with a guaranteed rate of return (Lowest risk, but highest possibility it will return).

  • Bonds
  • CDs
  • IRA’s
  • The home where you live.

Put your first investments here into the security bucket.
2-6 months worth of cash that covers your expenses if needed.
Get financially secure, and then financially independent, through this bucket.

Growth Bucket

  • Stocks
  • businesses
  • Real Estate

(Growth bucket has potential for greater return and potential for greater loss.)
In this area, learn as much as you can, so that you can make money, no matter what happens in the market.

Learn a lot.

You may lose all your money here.

This is why you put money into the security bucket first.
