I feel like it is time to say thank you to the fellow boglehead community.
After accumulating around 5k from work and losing half of it in crypto and another percentage with options i stumbled onto the boglehead philosophy beaten up and with two blue eyes.
The more i read, the more sense it made. Bogles books were ordered soon and after reading them and browsing trough the website and forums i was changed.
Now my finance is completely cleaned up, a high savings rate goes into a well adjusted portfolio, my networth is at a number that seemed impossible and my financial plans will be reached with a big buffer.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart - the boglehead philosophy is incredibly healthy to follow (even in other areas of life).
My mother sold her company and had the money she sold it for as her retirement. Investing it the boglehead way (and her trusting me 100% cause of Mr. Bogle) and now seeing her living her retirement years in financial peace is priceless.
Some friends and my girlfriend also started to put more money aside and actually invest it according to the boglehead philosophy. It is a joy to see everyone beeing off better.
We might get mad in here about the 7th question about market timing or taking uncompensated risk but i think we often forget how many lifes are improving because of the work bogleheads do in helping others.
Thank you for the support and feel free to share your story!
