Apple-same, was given ten shares a long time ago and just kept on buying for awhile. Haven't for several years but it's a cool little stash.


Thanks, did your portfolio begin from gifts?

I simply want to give myself the peace of mind of retiring at a certain age rather than seeing my retirement get pushed back year after year.

I was given 10 shares of Exxon as a high school graduation gift and have been buying them ever since. I buy direct online. My wife inherited quite a large number of Exxon stock has has been buying them since as well. It's just an easy solid place to invest a bit.

I was given 10 Apple for college graduation and have kind of done the same although not as much. Which I could kick myself for.

All I can say is save as much however you can and live within your means. I don't mean live cheap. Enjoy the fruits of your labors after you have saved.
