I've always said:
"You're not rich when you work for your money, but your money works for you"
I'm wanting to revise my investments as having money sitting in a bank savings or checking account earning next to 0% interest gain doesn't make sense, but it's also not getting lost negatively when the stock market seems so volatile, and I'm liquid for funds in savings/checking for short term needs / buffer.
I found this Bogleheads Investment Forum.
Bogleheads :: View Forum - Investing - Help with Personal Investments
Do other People participate in active investing or know of other investment forums to help gain insight on getting your money to work for you?
Short/Long term high/low risk I understand, but would like to bank away some funds with locked in ~3-5% gains. So I'm thinking CD's or Fixed Annuity funds.
I've met with several Edward Jones type financial planners and walked away shaking my head not trusting them with my money.
Basically I diversify and spread out my investments and not put all eggs in one basket getting greedy.
Any other investment forums people know of other than Bogleheads?
or discuss your own investment practices.
THANKS!
