It was a great read. He’s simply stating one message: indexing is the way to go.

It’s a rather long book for essentially one message but it was his strategy.

I am sure his net worth is way more than $1.5m knowing the reach of his book alone.

I’ve read most of the books above, they all have some good nuggets of advice and insights and are a good foundational resources. In the least they should all inspire you to take action with your $. I’m now at a point where I’m focused on topics that are important and of interest to me and follow those specialized newsletters/thought leaders. I’ve noticed a crop of young millennial investors on social media gaining traction and sharing new stuff that is even new to me - think it’s awesome they all happen to be women also and men can also benefit: your.richbff and herfirst100k etc

He pushes people to his recommended financial advisors. That costs money and people using index funds don’t need that. He says put some in the SP 500 but the rest in growth funds that beat the market. He suggests you should expect a 12% return. He is not a passive index fund guy. As I said he is very good if you want to get out of debt but I have no use for his investment advice.

Can someone explain the benefit of whole life or similar products? I understand that they are bad for 99.9% of people. How does the 0.1% benefit? Taxes? Asset protection?

I'm struggling to understand why anyone would use these at all. Significantly caps your upside. If you are uber wealthy, why wouldn't you continue investing in the market? Why pay the crazy fees for these products that are essentially just 90% treasury bonds and 10% levered ETFs and covered calls?

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
