I Put as much money into an index fund as possible every month. It is a fools errand to time the market as the market goes up and up over decades.

That’s how I live. I have mortgage on 3 months of pre-pay, 3 months of living expenses and the rest straight to VTSAX.

Automatic weekly contributions. Now I have allocations to different things and I adjust those as things drop. I want 20 percent bonds and as us treasury market crashed I’m buying a higher percent of that then I used to, to bring it back to 20 percent.

If it goes on a run and is higher than 20 percent, then I will buy less of it.

Balancing while Dollar cost averaging is the equivalent of buy low sell hi.

Don’t miss: My grandson is due any day (excitement) I want to start putting money away for him, any suggestions?

The cost of waiting is much more. Don’t time the market.

Have an emergency fund in something earning a high yield like SPAXX, and invest Every. Single. Extra. Penny. You have. Yes.

5200 hundred is the year end projection. Odds are decent you could pick up a dip in the short term, but I wouldn’t wait on the sidelines too long or you may miss out.

I re-read your post – this is what I do.

Anything not used for expenses or replenishing my emergency fund (if it’s down) or being put aside for a specific purpose (IE saving for the next vehicle) gets invested. 100% of it.

Have you seen: I want to compare putting my savings into paying off my mortgage versus into shares

If I have money that’s ready to invest, I just invest it. I don’t try to time anything.
