I followed Hallam's advice and invested in index and bond funds, and my portfolio has grown consistently for four years. I keep a ratio of 70% stock funds and 30% bond funds, with an even split between international and domestic stocks. If stock market index funds are unsexy, then bonds are flat-out frumpy. Dips in the stock market. In a wildly volatile year, when the stock market is moving by 20% or more, you could absolutely get in more frequently to try to rebalance your ratios.

Before reading "Millionaire Teacher," I thought my investing options were: go it alone, or hire a pro. But, as it turns out, there's a Goldilocks-esque option sitting smack-dab in the middle that I'd never considered: intelligent investment firms. Hallam uses Vanguard's Target Retirement Funds to outline how intelligent investing works (though robo-advisors aren't quite the same thing). In addition to the Vanguard Target Retirement Funds described above, which come with a wide range of target retirement dates, Hallam lists out a series of companies that offer the same services. ), you might really benefit from handing the reins over to an intelligent investment firm.

The book lays out five steps to investing your money, from opening a brokerage account to buying index funds. For example, the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index is represented as VTSAX. 30% Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund (VBMFX)35% Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSMX)35% Vanguard Total International Stock Index (VGTSX)As you can see, he recommends roughly one-third in an international stock index fund, another third in a domestic index fund, and a final third-ish in a domestic bond index fund. (I have a lot of working years ahead of me and the stock market is currently going nuts, so I've opted for 90% stocks and 10% bonds.) Once you're set up, you need to adjust your ratios just once a year, letting your money work for you instead of the other way around.
