To make my goal of having my net worth be $1,000,000USD by 2020 I need to have a plan laid out. Yes it will change through the years, My wife and I will get raises; we won’t get the [...]
So after writing about how my Edward Jones ROTH IRA was invested in “B shares” of NFPBX and no response back from my Edward Jones rep questioning him if I could get out without paying the 5% deferred load or reallocate the funds elsewhere, I figured it was time to do something about it, and [...]
