All mine to screw up now
« on: September 11, 2013, 02:21:06 PM »
I kid. :)

I just put in the order to remove the professional management from my inherited IRA, so when that goes through, I'll have complete control and responsibility for all of my accounts. I will be implementing my total AA over the course of the coming week (my bond/REIT funds will be in this account).

I can't believe how far I've come and how much I've been able to do thanks to what I've learned so far from this board (and a handful of other sites). When I first started, the idea of managing my own accounts scared the ever-loving crap out of me, and now I'm kind of excited to get this set and just let it go (hopefully up, but I can handle the lows).

So the badassity is owed to all of you that helped a clueless soul to knuckle down and do my homework and take control of my future. Thanks! :D

Awesome!  You can do this!  I started slow too, by putting everything into balanced funds for awhile (indexed balanced funds where possible) then moving to running my own asset allocation when I felt ready.  It's worth it to do it yourself, both to save on fees and to learn the management aspect.
