    Timing the market is a bad idea:

    I know, this time just feels different though, need to watch what happens with QE and various other things for the next while before I decide.

    Coming up on a year Id say alright. I was going to go for a house of my own instead of paying rent and get a couple of lodgers in to get the 14k rent a room tax free every year but prices have gotten out of range now and Im back to looking for other forms of return now. Cash pile increasing all the time though.

    Just saying this as food for thought and not saying what you should have done/should do now, but if you had put your money in VTI a year ago it would have grown by almost 25% while you have been worrying about a crash.

    US Debt Ceiling Shenanigans -> 15th March

    Dutch Elections -> 15th March

    French Elections -> April - May
