We’ve got plenty of funds outside of the IRAs that are hardcore conservative ;) Like cash, haha… but honestly, all these “aggressive” funds still have X% in bonds/cash/etc too. Just a bulk of it going to stocks and other mutual funds.

Wow, I know you’re young and you stressed “agressive” several times, but hopefully you’re putting some of that money into some more conservative investments like treasuries, etc.

Being agressive with $20-30,000 is one thing, but $180,000–that’ll be worse than a major headache if we see a repeat of ’00-02 or ’07-09.

@Julia – Wowww you TOTALLY have me beat!! That’s impressive! :)
@Rebecca – Yes, I like hearing that for sure! That is great :) And I hope I find my managed ones work well too – maybe I’ll even get lucky enough to have your same manager? I know they’re managed by a team of people, but ya never know… and smart on being aggressive too – that’s def. where I’m staying. Thanks for sharing!

Hey… I just wanted to let ya know that I have an Ira, mutual funds, all my investments with USAA and they are managed by the company.. I’ve made tons of money so the fees don’t even matter to me. I’ve had them for three years now and I can go online and see when they buy and sell not to mention I love my financial adviser who I can call if I have questions or need to make changes. I have them aggresively invested since I too am young but want to make the most money possible. Hope this eases your mind a lil… ;)

Interesting idea. I’ll be watching.
I have 23 accounts USAA accounts, not counting 3 insurance ones. But it does count my mortgage. And a lot of investment and saving accounts, including several IRAs.

@kirazona – I don’t know what the “official” record is or anything, or IF there even is one, but I heard someone has 25+ and that’s without all of his kids’ accounts @ USAA! Haha… Gonna take me a while to beat that one ;)
@Joseph – Yeah, it brings me an ounce of excitement every morning! Haha…

Can’t wait to see the results of this one, my friend. I’ll be looking to do something with my current 401k soon as well, so maybe I’ll join you on this grand experiment! :)
