Personal Injury Settlements & Verdicts

Personal injury settlements and verdicts are all our justice system has to give victims of wrongful death, malpractice, mesothelioma, etc. and when victims receive what can be a significant sum of money, it's too easy to spend it. Sadly, I recently learned of a person who received more than million-dollars and spent it in less than 2 years! This recent article has good advice for such individuals as does this Andrew Tobias book, which is one of my all-time favorites.

Today, I really like Vanguard for individuals and its Vanguard Target Retirement Funds. I invest in the latter and recommend these to friends and family, young and old. Fees are incredibly low and the funds are simple but diverse and can be aggressive or conservative depending on your age. Once you buy one, you never ever have to move the money as the funds adapt to your age using the same type of asset allocation and diversification strategies used by the best trust companies and money managers.
