This area is totally out of my range of experience, so I don't know if I can be particularly helpful. I responded to your plea because I remembered asking the same type of questions long ago, but the information was less far accessible then.
I'm only posting to add that the Mustachian approach seems to favor more of a buy and hold approach, and your last post seems a little, um, jumpier? Not sure. I just want to encourage you to learn first, create a strategy, then deploy your green soldiers last. Don't be in a rush to throw your money into things you don't yet fully understand. Your time horizon is long. Taking time to learn and understand before you invest will reward you handsomely in the long run.
I hope that I can offer wise advice to someone five years later like you did. :) Hence a little jumpy, when people are open to sharing.
Despite discovering MMM fairly recently. I have known prior that:
1. it's extremely hard to time the market
2. active trading is not always the best option (aka you are your own enemy)
3. everything starts with savings (i am an aggressive saver but have never put thought into investing)
What I did learn in the forum is very valuable, especially
1. balancing portfolio, there is an inherent ability for everyone to balance the risk, but it's also human nature that you start throwing everything at what's making money, thus unbalancing the portfolio. I need to dig myself up by putting less money into cryptocurrency, as it might look like great investment now but not so sure for how long more.
I am currently reading on gold, ETFs/mutual, REITs, and am likely to diversify into two of these. Overall that's so much reading to do. And I'll be coming back for more questions.
Have gone off topic but thanks Dicey.
