Jason and Jeff strip investing down to its core framework. They break down the "Why, What, and How" that every investor needs to answer to build a sustainable and successful portfolio. The duo explores how to align your asset allocation with your time horizon, debates the merits of "set it and forget it" target-date funds versus active stock picking, and highlights the hidden drag of high mutual fund fees. They also tackle the psychological battle of lump-sum investing versus dollar-cost averaging and explain why tracking your overall net worth is far healthier than obsessing over individual stock movements.
