We are a little concerned with the rising interest rate environment making it harder for REITs and investments tied to real estate to profit though. We like our current exposure to real estate and don't mind adding more but will try not to tip the scale to far. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, best wishes and success!

I'm invested in Fund rise but still pretty cautious, its not to bad. I just hope it doesn't go in the direction of lending club. So I don't want to invest to much money in it now. Keep up the good work.The Expat Investorhttp://theexpatinvestor.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-51836455092080230522018-07-27T09:22:21.027-07:002018-07-27T09:22:21.027-07:00Thanks James.

Even with what we have, not sure we are on target to retire in roughly 9 years. <br /><br />I agree with Prosper and Lending Club, both cater to institutional investors so good loans are hard to find these days. Its not like it was 4-5 years ago when the P2P market was still in its infancy. Oh well, time to find the next good thing. We've been looking into real estate crowd funding and may try that next. Wish us luck! <br /><br />Yes, most of our money is in indexed mutual funds that are managed by Edward Jones. My mother-in-law works for them. :) The dividend stocks account is merely my attempt to the pros! haha For the most part, we plan to hang onto the stocks in our dividend stocks account and will use the dividends to further supplement our retirement. We love the thought of only taking the dividends and the remainder of the account is left for future generations. <br /><br />As for a company that has gone gang busters, I can't pinpoint any one stock but we bought Canadian banks (RY and BNS) about a year to two years ago and both have done very well for us. <br /><br />Appreciate the visit and engagement in our journey. Best wishes and success on your personal journey!

First off - ...There so much good in this posting. <br /><br />First off - great job guys. Your net worth is way, way better than average. <br /><br />Yes, I've been drawing down my money from Prosper.com as well. Both Prosper and Lending club have moved away from their actual peer to peer focus. They've both shifted to a model where they sell loans to larger institutional investors. Its probably out of necessity, but it does certainly seem less democratic. <br /><br />Looks like most of your wealth is in equities. I'd love to know if its mostly mutual funds, or what the composition is there. Got any particular companies that are returning gangbusters for you guys?

At one point it was over $15K and we thought we wanted to grow it to $25K but we found it harder and harder to find quality notes paying enough interest to justify the risk. Both use to be so much better! Maybe things have slowly returned to those glory days with interest rates creeping back up. We might consider growing that pot again one day but for now, we only maintain a Prosper account. <br /><br />Good luck if you decide to try it out. My only advice is to have a plan and stick to it. Best wishes.
