A life situation hit our family this year and I'll be retiring early. I might work for a few more years because I have opportunities, or I might not.
In the meantime, there has been life insurance proceeds, a large home sale with a large profit (no cap gains here because of my wife's passing) and a nice 401k I've moved to Schwab. I've been doing some iterative financial planning using Claude and I've been risk adverse and in bonds and HYSAs, but I need exposure for something like VT for my plan to work over time.
I lived through the 2000 and 2007 bear markets and know what can happen when they they go off. I'm thinking of ramping up my market holdings each week to my desired endgame number of let's say 30%, something like 15k per week, giving me loads of time to get comfortable and lots of time for the market to adjust, obviously I'm less exposed over the short term. I like this idea, anything wrong with it?
edit: I just learned this is called dollar-cost averaging?
