Retirement Accounts (Update) - July 2014



 
For several years now, our retirement accounts have been growing at a decent pace...this year, however, the performance has been pretty anemic! I am still thankful that we are not losing money. But that is why our family has now decided to switch our focus towards building our Dividend Stocks Portfolio and P2P Lending Accounts so as to have optional income streams in retirement. Nevertheless, we will still continue to track these accounts as they are still part of our retirement plan.

    Nice job on building that retirement account. I am also trying to focus more on building up my dividend portfolio and I do have a lending club account. I have several charge off already in my lending club, although I am not losing any money yet. I am thinking about stop contributing to lending club, but I am still debating about that. I 'm currently adding $500/mo to my lending club.

      Expat Investor - Thank you for the kind words and support.

      We have both Prosper and Lending Club P2P accounts. I've found that it easier to find quality notes and/or be more selective in our choices. Between the two, we try to add roughly $500/month but it varies from month to month.

      BTW, I've heard some rumors that Lending Club will be launching an IPO sometime this year. I love the business model and feel there is plenty of room for growth. At the right price, I may getting in on the IPO. :)

      Best Wishes. AFFJ
