In this episode, we're going to be talking about lump sum investing versus dollar cost averaging. It's a question I got from a good friend earlier this week, and some viewers have actually reached out to me and asked about this. They've come into some money, we kind of know the markets are somewhat overvalued, richly valued, we kind of wonder when the next crash is going to happen. And they want to know, do I do I put it all to work now by investing the lump sum? Or do I spread it out over six months or 12 months or two years with a dollar cost averaging approach?

This is something I had to answer. About three years ago, when I sold three of my websites, I came into some money. What do I do? I answer that in the video. It's an important question, whether you're talking about a tax refund, you want to invest, maybe it's a bonus from work, maybe you inherited some money, or like me, maybe you sell a business. What do you do with the money/ And so what I want to do in this video is walk through eight things that I think we should consider
