Current Investing Strategy
Max-out retirement accounts; auto-deposit $750 into Betterment account each month; save between $5,000 and $10,000 each month in money market savings account (depending on expenses that arise) with 2.25% interest while saving for down payment on first house.
How do you manage your finances?
We use the cash budget taught by Dave Ramsey, although now that we are debt free, we are a little more sloppy than before. But, we do try to stick to the cash budget and not use debit cards unless it's necessary for certain types of purchases. We do not use credit cards and will not borrow money except for a conservative mortgage. Our retirement investments are fully automated, and most of our monthly expenses are automatically paid. Our monthly living expenses amount to about 50% of our take-home pay, so the only thing we have to do each month is decide what to do with the other 50%: save, invest, give, or spend?
