Ignoring the daily noise is the hardest skill. Posting my numbers every day keeps me focused on the long road instead.
INVESTOR TEMPERAMENT CHECK: If you find yourself stressing over the day-to-day noise and minute-by-minute market fluctuations, think on this quote by Chris Mayer (@chriswmayer) :
"Another way you can see how unimportant most things are: think about how much you forget. Think about the constant chatter that goes on every day in financial markets. About 99% of it you can't remember weeks later, even days later, even hours later...And yet, at the time whatever it was seemed important . These episodes of forgetting beg the question of how important any of what happened was in the first place. Noodling over it, you come to realize not much is really important at all. Nor, as that holistic approach implies, do you have much control over what happens anyway."

My first target is a $5,000 emergency fund. It may not be the perfect number, but it is a clear one I can track in public every week.
The Emergency Fund Myth: 6 months of expenses in cash is not a rule, but a placeholder for a risk assessment you're supposed to run yourself. Read more: domdhi.com/logs/emergency-fu…
