  • Meeting Vanguard founder John Bogle
  • 2 Funds for Life
  • What’s wrong with Target Funds?
  • What’s different about investors today?
  • Why should investors make more in future?

  • As Paul commented, “It was the 300th podcast of “Afford Anything” and I can see why Paula is so popular… she’s a terrific interviewer and wonderful teacher! I like how, in the beginning of the podcast, she defined some terms to be used during discussion, including an explanation of asset allocation, and provided a powerful wrap-up at the end with “5 Key Takeaways.”
