c) invest a single lump sum now and never or rarely send in additional monies to invest
d) because income is variable, you cannot do a) or b), but need a workable solution.
e) set aside a given amount in savings, then once or twice per year write a check to deposit money into an investment
I do "a." The first of every month money is drawn electronically from my bank and is transferred into my various funds at my brokerage account. I treat this transfer as a "bill" that must be accounted for when doing my budget for the month.
