It started out innocently enough...he wanted to write letters of financial advice to his daughter. J.L. Collins never imagined that his blog would become a favorite source for the financial independence movement and the general investing public. His knack for storytelling and simplifying complex topics has boosted his blog popularity to over two million pageviews per year and convinced him to write a book, The Simple Path to Wealth. Hear how this proponent of index investing (his Stock Series is a must read for those who want to increase their investing knowledge) throws financial rules of thumb out the window and offers advice to teachers on how to best teach concepts, like retirement, to students. Enjoy!
