Hello. I’ve been lurking here a couple of years (somehow that sounds like I should be incarcerated, or at least ashamed of myself). I’ve learned a lot. I’m still not an investment expert, but I’m no longer afraid of my investments, if that makes any sense. I previously though I could never “know about investing” because I thought that meant “having a crystal ball with which to pick the next hot stock”. I was relieved to learn that a reasonable asset allocation and minimal trades was actually an acceptable strategy! I guess because that approach sounds dull, it seldom gets talked about in the media or bragged about around the water cooler at work.
I’m also pleased to have discovered that there are lots of like minded LBYM people out there. Reading the posts here has given me lots to think about in terms of finances and how they fit in with the other aspects of life.
I was finally motivated to post by a work-life balance situation that’s come up. I think the folks that frequent this forum would be ideally qualified to comment on it. I’ll post the details separately in the Young Dreamers section. Thanks to the forum hosts and members for all the useful information available here.
