The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My wife has no real interest or skills wrt investing. I may start with an inquiry to my CFP and/or estate planning attorney for their thoughts as well.

Write up instructions for her to move the money from individual stocks & bonds to Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund (VSMGX). In taxable accounts, gradually to avoid large capital gains tax. In IRAs, just do it ASAP.
Also instructions for her to set up an Automatic Withdrawal Plan, and say what the automatic amount should be.
