HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY
Rather than posting a new episode that no one takes seriously, this week we're replaying one of our most popular episodes: GO TO THE INVESTING GYM BUT MAYBE DON'T GET AN INVESTING TATTOO. Enjoy!
----------------------------------------------
Decade Investor aka Kolin drops dozens of gems in this week's interview. As a 24-year-old with a $250,000 stock portfolio, he knows all about slow and steady investing. Lauren and Kolin go over the 8th (or is it 1st?) wonder of the world, compound interest, with real-life examples. No matter your age. whether you're in your 20s or 50s, you'll walk away motivated to start investing, even if it's $5 per week. Get comfortable having money that isn't yours to spend right now. Make your future self your best friend. You can build your investing skills like you build muscles at the gym, but you do need to START! Lauren lays out what the 4% retirement rule is. Kolin addresses young parents. He also takes a stance on what percentage of your income you should be saving (which might surprise you). He also addresses rumors on whether he got a VOO tattoo, representing $100,000 in Vanguard's S&P 500 index fund.
