The New Frugality by Chris Farrell


This is another book which I purchased in order to educate myself on personal financing. Some things I learned from this book about how to be frugal with regards to investing:
  • Keep fees razor thin
  • Use dollar cost averaging which basically means putting the same amount of money into an investment regularly over a long period
  • Rebalance your portfolio regularly
  • You have to realise you can't consistently beat the market.
  • Invest in index funds; don't bother with actively managed mutual funds.
