Hi all,
Been visiting this site for a while and I have learned a lot from all the contributors.
I am no investor expert, but I do know enough to get me in trouble- and not enough to keep me out of trouble, so I’m hoping you can give me some advice on how to invest my money to keep me out of trouble.
I am 59 years old, single and do not own a house. I have just been laid off from my job at BOEING after 15+ years.
The prospects of being employed again are dicey as we all know, so I am looking to try to live off the interest from my accumulated money by asking for your advice on how to invest my money in Vanguard Mutual funds, especially index funds.
I plan on living simply and do plan to find some work down the road to help supplement my savings.
I was hoping with your help you could advise me how to set up a simple portfolio with the assets I have, so I may be able to live off the interest (EARLY RETIREMENT), if you think that’s possible.
My Portfolio 12/13/2013
