When the DOW is up 5% so are you. When it's down 5% so are you. There's nothing to manage. Over time, you will beat any managed account.

Using Vanguard is crazy easy and when it comes to tax time, your tax forms from Vanguard easily import into most any tax software.

Time in the market is key. Fire and forget. Just remember to add. Once you get to around $300-500k, you can start diversifying into other things like quality stocks. Until then, set a goal of $300k in investments and buy a home and pay that off as quickly as possible. Real estate is a solid asset in most cases.
Damn, sounds easy from your perspective, I just don't know the first thing about it, and that's the type of guy that loses his money and funds guys like you that know what to do.

Maybe I'll visit KC, buy you dinner and you can show me the ropes. haha
