The required $210 was transferred to my 2nd Home savings account this week. (All relevant pages have been updated). This is the last of the intended savings transfers, mortgage over-payments and investments so I remain on track for my 2016 goals.
I also set up a transfer of $190 to my brokerage settlement account. This transfer should take effect tomorrow and will bring the total in that account to $340. It really is just a holding account until I purchase shares. Again with trying to reduce the impact of the fees, I want to make a larger purchase of shares in March so these monies will combine with my "normal" transfer mid-month to allow me to do so.
Also, it gets the money out of my checking account where I am likely to find it frittering itself away. Far better for it to be sitting at Vanguard where I will put it to good use within 15-30 days. (I am going to try to do this at least once a month even if I have not designated a stock or ETF to be purchased. I just do not want to spend leftover money on *crap* when it can go to something that will pay me dividends.)
Work has been keeping me busy so I haven't had a chance to post what I've been reading. (It's also been frying my brain a bit so I don't really recall all that I've read...le grand sigh....) In the near term it looks as though I will be sticking to a weekend-only posting schedule. This is actually fine for now since I don't have that much money to invest/save and only take action a few times a month.
