I think I have been doing the prudent things as I transitioned from working to ER (4 months now).
I have the following mix of my net worth as I didn't think it was wise to make major investments while transitioning.
21% home - paid in full
55% foreign currency - This is not as a risky investment as it sounds - I bought at a good price and earning interest
24% cash
As the stock market keeps going up I'm feeling I made a mistake and should have had the 24% invested in the stock market. I plan to sell the foreign currency in the first quarter of the year.
So I will be averaging into the market next year. If I'm investing in the stock market; expect a downturn!
I can't wait until I have my investments set up (4-5 mutual funds & 3 years of living expenses in short term bond funds) and I don't have to think about this!
I keep saying to myself I did the right thing and to have patience.
Any others feeling the same way?
