I used to think I should wait for a pullback before dollar-cost averaging.
I figured buying when things were a little greener would make me feel more at ease. But those few weeks of waiting felt worse than the dip after I bought—the price I was waiting for never came, and I lost my rhythm first.
Later, I switched to buying as soon as I got paid. I stopped watching price levels and stuck to a date.
The hardest part of dollar-cost averaging probably isn’t riding out a downturn. It’s resisting the urge to guess whether “now is a better time to buy.”
Do you invest on a schedule, or are you still waiting for a “better price”?
