    Invested in the S&P 500 Index Fund from Vanguard, basically. I've got time and can currently stomach the volatility of the Stock Market so short-term dips or corrections don't scare me.

    Investing in bonds doesn't seem like a bad idea. Although you'd have to have faith. Planning for my retirement is something I've been procrastinating for a while now. Although I'm almost 30, I plan to retire by 50 and fully invest.
    Thanks triggering/activating my plans @doctorjohn    .
