First Investment
« on: June 17, 2014, 03:37:30 PM »
I bought my first shares through Vanguard today. Wouldn't have been able to save up enough money or even had thought about it if it weren't for this blog and all of the great people on the forum here.  Looking forward to building my new found Stash. Thanks!

Congratulations!  That's a HUGE step, and it'll start to snowball before you know it.  :)
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
