Where do I put cash savings?

Post by chodthewacko »

Hello,
I absolutely love this tool and have donated towards it.

One thing I am wondering though - where do I enter savings account money?
i.e. money that isn't growing at the "investing style" rate, but money that should still increase the "chance of success"?

And yes, I should in theory be investing all retirement money, but that's not such an easy sell to the SO.

The best way to handle that is to include the cash in your overall portfolio, but then reduce the portfolio return/std deviation appropriately to account for the impact of the cash diluting the portfolio's risk.
