Greg’s been an investor for nearly 20 years and will admit to making foolish decisions only when pressed. With equal parts pragmatism and enthusiasm he managed to grow a portfolio of index mutual funds from $200 (initial contribution) to…a bit more than this, but enough to backstop his retirement five years ago. He launched Sacramento Area Bogleheads in 2015 because he wanted to know what a Boglehead looked like!–turns out they looked like everyone else.
