Mr. Bogle and me
Jack Bogle, Fiscal Saint Back in November, Mrs. jlcollinsnh and I had packed our bags and were preparing to leave our hotel to catch our return flight to Quito for our annual Chautauquas.

Where did you learn about money?
One of the resident llamas trimming the grass on the grounds of Hacienda Cusin Photo by Danielle Duong Greetings from Ecuador! I’m here deep into the second of our back-to-back Chautauquas 2016.

Buy Your Freedom; Rent the Rest
Both with housing and cars. Renting lets you get ahead, because you don’t need to take the financial risk to maintain a physical asset. You are also less stressed and you have more flexibility because your costs are always predictable. Stress free and predictable. That’s the key to freedom.

Mr. Market’s Wild Ride
Bad Market! Bad, bad, bad Market! Can’t I even go on a little vacation without you tearing up the place while I’m gone? I turn my back for one second (well, OK, maybe two months) and you start sliding? And then that 1000 point drop? What’s up with that? Yes, yes, I know. It was… [Continue Reading]

The Stock Series here is designed to slice thru the Gordian Knot of investing. To debunk the idea that investing is too complex for mere mortals and to dispel the fear surrounding it and our financial security. Routinely, I hear from people who lament “I’m 32.
