Hello Mustachian Community,
Though this is my first post on a forum, I am familiar with the basic principles of Mustachianism. Here is my dilemma- for the past five years I’ve managed to work and save roughly 170k. I am debt free and live a materialistically simple, but adventurously maximal lifestyle. Now, after discovering the principles of Mustachianism, I realize that I am missing one giant piece of the puzzle. I have held my savings mostly in cash (roughly 10% in IRA’s). In hindsight I am deeply regretful of missing the stock market surge in recent years, but hindsight is 20/20 right?! So my question is how would you advise me to invest at this point? Should I jump into the market and invest in an index fund immediately, wait for a market correction and then invest, a combination of those, or something completely different? I am wary of the current political climate and feel like the stock market may be overvalued, but realize that feelings can get in the way of smart investing. Thank you in advance for any advice or strategies that you have to offer!
