Personal Investments • Starting investing at 55 years old

Hello!

Thanks much for all your answers and suggestions. It has been taking me awhile to digest and work on your recomendations. I really appreciatte all the info and time.

Regarding my income and low expenses, I will explain that. I live with my fiance in his house. He covers all the expenses of the house. The last few years, I have cut a lot of my personal expenses because of the fund of my retirement account. So currently my expenses are around $500 to $1000 per month (helping financially my parents, who live in Peru). My fiance owns rental properties and I work for him as a property manager.

Per the information provided by you and my research I was able to modified the proposed portafolio (thanks much for the link):

I have sold my VTTHX Varguard target fund 2035 and bought VOO for $38.8K. I also decided that I am not "yet" ready to let go AVUV and SCHD. I supossed that with the time I will convert them to VTI.

The opening of my Roth Solo 401k is taking some time because I notice that Vanguard (where I have my BND) thats no offer ETF's in their solo 401k and Ascensus is runing it and they also charge extra fees for that account. Well that was a bummer for me, so I was reading/searching about Schwab and E-Trade. Both of them hold ETF's in their solo Roth 401K, however, Schwab do not have an online transfer for that plan yet, but E-Trade does has it. So probably, I will go with E-trade, but I need to find out if I can transfer my BND from Vanguard to E-trade?. How/Where do you guys handle their 401k ?

My next step will be research about the Monte Carlo system. I would like to add that worksheet to trace my progress.

Per your suggestions as well, I notice that I am holding too much cash on my Capital 1 savings account, so I will reduce that amount to probably $5k instead of $10k, just as a piece of mind for me.

Any more suggestions, recomendations are really very appreciated.

Thank you!

Pam.
