I have been in the stock market for the last nine years. Half of my money is in the stock market and half of it I hold in bonds. I do all of my investing on my own, no advice from others, I just use my brain. I hold mostly dividend stocks and I use the drip system. When I turn 65 Medicare will be deducted from my SS so I own a IRA account that the dividend stocks and a few bonds will offset my loss in SS. I know people who pay financial advisors 3 thousand a year to invest their money and I am ahead of the game. It is all good.
