One of the things in 2006 I would like to do is diversify a bit with my investments. Particularly, I'm looking for some equities to invest in with taxable accounts. Here's my current situation to give you an idea where I'm at:
401k: Focused heavily on domestic/foreign equities. Very good returns year in and year out with my 401k using this strategy.
Roth IRA: Currently none, but opened his/her matching IRAs this month. I intend to purchase 10% yield fixed-income investments almost exclusively for this and my wife's spousal IRA.
Taxable accounts: Currently investing heavily in aforementioned 10% yield fixed-income investments. At the start of each year, I will transfer $8k from these taxable accounts into the Roth IRAs.
So when all is said and done, I feel like I have a good combination of equity vs. fixed income going into my retirement accounts (Total for all above is about $100k); however, I want something I can automatically dump anywhere from $50 to few hundred into a taxable account monthly... especially because I've been terrible about doing any sort of regular investing other than retirement accounts.
Much thanks in advance for any advice!
I'm 29 right now and plan to FIRE by 45.
