The Financial Independence Show

ETFs vs. Index Funds, Expense Ratios, and Investing Terms


Listen Later

Sometimes personal finance can just sound like a bunch of jargon.

Today’s episode gives you all the foundational definitions you need to navigate your FI journey.

We have episodes that dive deeper into some of these topics (linked below).

But today is all about explaining the lingo you might hear on the show week to week.

Some of the investing terms we discuss include:

    • ETFs vs. Index Funds
    • Expense Ratios
    • The 4% Rule / Rule of 25
    • Rule of 72
    • Tax-advantaged accounts
      • IRAs / 401Ks
      • We hope this empowers you to confidently speak to your investing journey and help others along the way.
