I found one easy way to save is to think of it like spending. Like, sweet, I just bought $500 in stock, cha-ching.

My wife and I have found this type of investing really fulfilling. Instead of investing in larger but more infrequent chunks, we'll buy stocks 50 or 100 at a time to add to our portfolio.

Since we've started, we've increased our annual allocation to long-term savings 100%. Investing is also a lot more fun.

How is that working out with brokerage fees?

Are there only fees for selling?

Not too bad. For short-term investments the fees would kill us, but since we're looking at longer term (and paying minimal fees) we're in okay shape.
