Transform Cash Savings into Smart Investments

I sell my stock quickly to avoid taxes. I do not think I know more than the market. This helps me manage my money in a simple way.

I have much company stock because of inertia. Taxes make selling it a little scary for me. I have been selling company stock for years, but I still have a lot.

We have too much cash in our account sometimes. It does not feel like a good time to invest it. Having cash makes me feel calm and safe.

We do not have many bonds, which is not good. We should have more bonds as we get older. We have mostly stocks and some cash, which is not ideal.

I should have put a fund in a tax-sheltered account. Now, selling it would cause a big tax bill. I also make IRA contributions late sometimes, which is not the best.
