What's this?

Smartest, dumbest and luckiest


Dumbest - investing into companies I'd never heard of in Telecomm and losing all my dough in the late 90s

Smartest - learning my lesson above, began investing in only low cost funds and companies I used and knew well. Led to stable returns and investing in AAPL in 2003, AMZN in 2008 and TSLA in 2013.

Luckiest - marrying a partner with similar financial habits/desires/needs that I have. Have not had a costly divorce.
