As our readers already know, our family has switched our focus towards diligently building our Dividend Stocks Portfolio and to some extent P2P Lending Accounts in an effort to build additional income streams for retirement so we don't have to solely rely on the typical retirement vehicles.
We will still continue to track are retirement accounts (pension, 457K, Roth IRAs) as they are still part of our retirement plan. Plus, although they are mainly invested in mutual funds, we still need to keep an eye on them and re-balance them periodically.
EXISTING RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
(SEPTEMBER 2016 - 3RD QUARTER UPDATE):
Since we see such little change in these accounts, we decided last summer to stop providing monthly reports of our retirement accounts. We've only posted 3 updates since. So earlier this year, we've decided to do quarterly updates.
Below is a quick update to show the current values of our retirement accounts at the end of the 3rd Quarter of 2016 as well as the monthly growth (although we do not post the results). Please visit the RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS page on our blog to see our retirement savings journey!
