...or have shares gone out of fashion nowadays?
Got into the discipline of monthly investment. Never missed a month since and increased the levels as my rate went up. Our investment strategy was completed in December 2012 at which point we were putting in 3k a month into various vehicles.
Portfolio now healthily in 7 figures. It paid off the mortgage 10 years ago on my 40th birthday. Retiring on the proceeds at the end of the year.
Stock market never when out of fashion for me and I've been through the 87 crash, 1990-1992 recession, 97 Asian crash, Russian hedge fund crash 1998, dotcom crash 1999, 9/11, Iraq war and financial crisis 2007- present.
All about time not timing - get rich slowly.Comment
