Obligatory Disclaimer
I'm not a financial adviser, nor do I claim to be one. Everything I know about finance and investing is the result of self study. I'm just a guy trying to save money and invest for the future.
While I am responsible for my investment decisions, I'm not responsible for yours. I make mistakes, sometimes big ones. Therefore, don't act solely based on what you read here. You MUST do your own research and due diligence. Then make your own decisions about how to allocate your capital.
Good luck on your way to financial independence.
