We all know that there are a multitude of options when it comes to what you could invest in to save money for your retirement. One of the most commonly stated asset classes, though, is bonds. Bonds are a huge part of the world economy and have markets much larger than any stock market. This said, we all need to understand bonds and the implications of investing in them over the long-term. Even though I am not a huge bond investor myself (at this point in life), I do see them as a valuable part of investment portfolios that, when suitable, can help people reach their long-term financial goals. Today, we will discuss:

1. What bonds are

2. What the downside to investing in bonds is

3. How bonds compare to stocks

4. How bonds can be a useful part of your retirement portfolio

When closing in on retirement, we all want to make sure that we can live on the amount of money that we have saved/invested at that time. One of the biggest determining factors in not outliving your money is the idea of the withdrawal rate. We have to be reasonable with the percentage of our total assets that we choose to live off of in retirement. Too much, and your nest egg could start moving in the wrong direction, and it may become harder to make your money last for the long haul. Today's discussion of the withdrawal rate will help you to make the best decisions possible and understand how this one metric can swing your retirement lifestyle one way or the other. We will discuss:

1. What a withdrawal rate is

2. The importance of investment returns when setting a withdrawal rate

3. How the amount of our nest egg impacts our withdrawal rate choice

Whether you believe it or not, we all need to be planning/preparing for our retirement in some way, shape, or form. In this episode, I boil down all of the things that are going to impact the life that you live and the money that you have in retirement to 8 factors. These are simply categorized into 4 things that you can control and 4 things that you cannot control. Understanding these factors will, hopefully, better equip you to plan for your future and make the best retirement that you can for yourself. Today, we will discuss:

1. Why our retirement is so important

2. 4 factors that impact your retirement that you cannot control

3. 4 factors that impact your retirement that you can control

When it comes to some of the most basic ideas of what we are trying to do when we invest for the future, the top of the list would be to support us in retirement. Money that adequately supports your retirement living for as long as you live is the ultimate goal that you want to reach. In order to do this, you have to take several things into account that can affect your ability to make your money last longer than you will live. Most of these things are simple financial concepts, but going without them can leave you with no money and a lot of life left to live. Today we will discuss:

1. How to grow the largest retirement nest egg possible

2. How to minimize your future retirement expenses

3. Factors that indirectly impact you being able to have money that outlives you

One of the most basic economic concepts is the idea of supply and demand. This idea is intertwined to just about everything that we do in our financial lives. The irony is that we fail to realize that these forces, which are dictated by our behaviors in aggregate, have such a profound effect on all kinds of different financial issues. I wanted to spend today talking about supply and demand so that you can be more aware of how your money, your assets, and your debt (if you have any) are being impacted by this simple concept. Today we will discuss:

1. What is supply and demand?

2. How do supply and demand work together to impact our financial lives?

3. Where are supply and demand's greatest effects realized?

4. How can our understanding of supply and demand inform our financial decision-making?

We all know that the United States is deeply in debt. The issue, though, is whether or not the financial situation that we are in as a country can be dug out of, and if so, how? Our country is no stranger to debt. Between the inordinate amount of debt taken out by companies to the wild amounts of consumer debt that individuals are burdened with, we know a thing or two about borrowing money. The problem is that large amounts of debt have never been the answer to fix financial issues, and as long as our government spends more than they bring in (fail to correctly budget), we will continue into this black hole of debt with few good options to get out. Today, we will discuss:

1. What the national debt is

2. How much national debt is outstanding

3. What we spend money on that leads to budget deficits

4. How we could get out of debt as a country

If there is one thing that I stand on in every one of the episodes that I have put out, to date, it is the fact that debt can hold you back from being financially successful. Given that this is the case, then the question arises as to why so many of the companies that we know and love are taking advantage of debt in order to grow their companies on a daily basis. I wanted to speak to this dilemma from both a personal finance point of view and an investment point of view in order to let you all know the role that debt plays in the world around us and why I feel the way that I do about it. Today, we will discuss:

1. What corporate debt is

2. How corporate debt and personal (consumer) debt differ

3. Companies that do not take on debt

4. How corporate debt should impact our investment decisions

There are certain buzz words that fly around, especially in the world of finance, that people seem to know what they mean, but they do not inherently understand the impact or origins of the concept. Inflation is one of those words. Most of us know that inflation is when the prices of goods and services increase, but do you know why, how, and upon whose authority this is occurring? If not, that is what today's episode is for: understanding all about inflation. Today's episode will cover:

1. What inflation is

2. How inflation is caused

3. How inflation impacts your personal finances

4. How inflation impacts your investing

There are all types of things that have impacts on our financial lives, not the least of which being the Federal Reserve. "The Fed" impacts our financial lives in ways that we do not even realize, most of the time. The Fed works behind the scenes to promote the stable growth of the United States economy. In doing so, they can impact the flow of money through the economy, the level of inflation, and the amount of unemployment. Any systemic organization that has this much impact on our economy should be well-studied by us all. Today we will discuss:

1. What is the Federal Reserve?

2. What does "The Fed" do?

3. How does "The Fed" impact our lives?

As likely the least well-known of the authors whose books we discussed this week, Howard Marks provides us all with extremely practical advice on how to go about investing in a way that is prudent and effective. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is not just one extremely important principle, but it is a number of things that must all be taken into account when making any kind of investment decision. Among these things are several considerations that many of us make, but some are new and useful thoughts that may escape the common investor. If you want to be the most successful investor that you can be, Marks' book is a gem that we can all refer to for great advice. Today, we will discuss:

1. Who Howard Marks is

2. What the "Most Important Things" are

3. How the "Most Important Things" impact our investment decisions
