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.
