I have $15,000. I don't think this is a bad start, but Dr. Stanley and Dr. Danko say I should be worth closer to $86,000 at this point, so I'm eager to do everything I can to make them proud.
Originally I planned on having $3,000 each allocated to Vanguards S&P500, Small Caps, etc. but I read everything I was looking at was bundled into the Total Stock Market Index (VTSMX) fund, so I thought putting $9,000 there would cover what I had originally planned to spend broken up into the individual funds.
The other $6,000 I have no idea what I want to do with. This wouldn't be used to fulfill short term goals. I'm interested in your "If I had $6,000 to invest this is what I would do with it" stories.
