Pathfinders

 Big news!

One of my blog posts has been chosen for the new JL Collins book, Pathfinders.

If you decide to use this Amazon link to purchase the book, I may get a small commission at no cost to you. It's a way to support this blog while educating yourself on how many others have handled their money, in both good ways and bad!

I'm excited for this opportunity to get my story out there, and potentially reach new audiences. It's also gratifying to see that an editorial team saw fit to put my words into their book! Good motivation to keep me writing :)

The publisher, Harriman House, shipped me an advance copy of the book as a thanks for using my writing (they didn't pay me any money for the rights to my writing, so in effect, I suppose the copy of the book is the payment).

Naturally, to fit the length requirements, I had to edit my blog post down a bit, so I can't recall exactly how much I cut out or rephrased myself, and how much was done by the editorial team. But if they did make any changes, they were subtle and well-done, because the segment does sound like my writing style.

So thanks to the Godfather of FI for including me in his latest book!

Now that I'm in it, guess I'll have to put this on the list of the money books you must read! ;)

Pathfinders is on sale now (released October 31, 2023).

Froogal Stoodent vs. jlcollinsnh

Boy, I've been pretty feisty recently! First picking a fight with Vanguard, then tackling the sticky healthcare debate, and now picking a fight with Jim Collins, the personal finance world's favorite uncle!

The reason for the fight with Vanguard—and now for the fight with jlcollinsnh—is that I've been spending quite a bit of time recently on asset allocation, and I'm starting to wonder whether the simplest approach truly is the best.
