View submission: Hard-and-fast rules
My first ex-wife came from a family which had a successful real estate company in northern VA. Soon after we married it was shuttered, so we began receiving dispersal checks for tens of thousands of dollars 2 to 3 times a year for about six years.
We blew the first one, had a lot of fun. After that we followed the rule you mentioned. While we made a few bad investments, we hit it big with Disney and Starbucks, investing in both when they were dirt cheap (Starbucks was pre-explosion, and Disney had a few years when they couldn't do anything right). Retirement level money.
So yeah, that's a good one.

First stock I ever bought was Apple. It's done OK over the past 25 years I guess.
