  • Personal Capital* is a free tool to manage and evaluate your investments. With great visuals you can track your net worth, asset allocation, and portfolio performance, including costs. At a glance you'll see what's working and what you might want to change. Here's my full review.
  • Betterment* is my recommendation for hands-off investors who prefer a DIFM (Do It For Me) approach. It is also a great tool for reaching short-term savings goals. Here is my Betterment Review
  • Republic Wireless* is my $10 a month phone plan. My daughter is in South East Asia and is on the $5 a month plan. We talk whenever can and for however long we please. My RW Review tells you how.
  • Tuft & Needle helps me sleep at night. A very cool company and a great product.
  • Vanguard.com (unfortunately Vanguard doesn't have an affiliate program)

  2. Jim, loved the book and earned my F-You money at the age of 41 and stayed home to participate in my kids formative years; now they are in or approaching college. That brings me to my comment. In your book in the topic of DEBT (page 29) you say “Here’s the real kicker: Unlike other kinds of debt, as truly awful as they are, you can never walk away from your student loans. They survive bankruptcy…. Your wages, and even Social Security, can be garnished to pay them.” I hear many stories and news reports to the contrary, including government forgiveness plans after making minimum payments for a set period of years. Many “experts” say that our country’s growing student debt that likely will never get paid off and leave tax payers holding the bag suggests that the claws you mention are not true or there are loopholes that escape us readers.

  3. Mr. Collins,
    Your book is phenomenally simple & specific. The best financial guidance book I have ever read. I’m 32 now and plan to invest in VTSAX as soon as possible and add more over the upcoming years.
    Quick question about the investments apps such as Acorn or Stash – what is your opinion on them?

    Warm regards,
    Elmir

    • Thanks Elmir…

      That would make a great 5-star review on Amazon if you are so inclined.

      I am unfamiliar with Acorn or Stash, but have handled my investments just fine without them in my life. 🙂

  4. Dear Mister Collins,

    Greetings from Belgium, and thank you for getting back to me on my twitter post! I was hoping to get in touch with you on behalf of our investment club (10 lovely people putting the Fun in Funds), to possibly arrange for a meetup. Thank you in advance!

    Kind regards,

    Ann-Sophie

  5. Hi, I’m new to your site but have heard about your writing many times. I’ve clicked on the link above for Personal Capital (also on other pages from other sites) and their website never comes up? can you suggest why this maybe. Just a note I reside in New Zealand, is that a possible reason?

    Regards Ivo

    • Hi Ivo…

      It’s probably a problem on your side. Probably an Adblocker. The links seem to be working fine.
