Retired Registered Nurse with no financial background .
After getting slaughtered in 2008 when I had all my $$ locked up in an IRA run by professionals skimming 1.5% annually I decided I could have a lot more fun losing my money myself and I could skip the fee.
It's been fun! I love learning about the markets and money. I have the luxury of putting in at least two hous a day of study and research.
I've done well since the fateful day in March 2009 that I decided to jump all in ( yes, dumb beginners luck).
I'm a little more educated now thanks to the SA community.
My husband is impressed enough to entrust me with running all our retirement funds so the heat is on.
