looking at my 2019 portfolio so far…. once again, my vanguard account with only index funds are trouncing my actively traded schwab account. Fortunately, with my schwab account I’ve been slowly switching to Schwab no commission ETFs that track the indexes. 2019 has been good so far. I think the passive drip and forget into passive index funds is still the winning strategy for the long term

My kids 529k account is on fire. Approaching $200k…I am contributing even more. Thanks to the new tax law changes allowing TAX FREE 529 distributions for private K-12 tuition up to $10k/year per person, I am going to be paying for my niece and nephew’s K-12 private school up to $10k/year per person per year and getting that same amounted gifted back to me, so can do tax free $20k in capital gains distributions tax free essentially.. heh heh
