Enroll all the stuff in dividend re-investment and forget you have it. > > Stay the course (cliche, I know) by putting cash into the Roth IRA at regular intervals and make sure you have the cash working (like they pay you for having just cash in it, money market type thing). When you amass some chunk of change to buy 25 or 50 or 100 shares of one of your investments, buy another set of units of one of the things that is currently “beaten down” a little in price. > > Dividends and corporate quality is the key.
