A couple of my favorite bloggers and investment professionals just dropped their first podcast. If you are a reader of my weekly mixtapes, there is no introduction needed for Michael Batnick (The Irrelevant Investor) and Ben Carlson (A Wealth of Common Sense). The Irrelevant Investor and A Wealth of Common Sense are two of the first five blogs I check…
Every Saturday I’ll be releasing my own compilation, a mixtape if you will, of blog posts from the week I think are worth your time. The excitement of the last week and a half has been well documented on Instagram and Twitter, so I won’t revisit Silas in my intro…I did include my blog post below though. There were so…
If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, or the blog you are well aware that we welcomed our third (and last) son, Silas, to our family on Halloween night. For those who have not met Silas yet, allow me to introduce you here. Since I’ve been thinking about babies a lot lately, I decided to cover the important things parents…
I’ve been meaning to write this for about a week now, but I’ve been preoccupied, with good reason. Halloween was an eventful day for my family.

Every Saturday I’ll be releasing my own compilation, a mixtape if you will, of blog posts from the week I think are worth your time.

The Whiteboard Series is being rebranded as “Bulletproof Coffee and a Talk”; you’ll notice the set up has changed a little–we’re keeping the whiteboard, but now you’ll see me (and the boys when they’re able to make it) sitting down for a little more relaxed setting. We’re still going to be covering topics relevant to financial planning and investments, and…
Twitter may not have figured everything out yet, but this morning they reported a better than expected sales number and an increase in the all-important monthly users. Who knows what this means for the long term, but in honor of Twitter’s big morning, I wanted to share why the service is so important to me. News. First and foremost, Twitter is…
There will be NO change to your 401(k). This has always been a great and popular middle class tax break that works, and it stays! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 23, 2017 Over the weekend we learned of a proposal floating around D.C. to significantly reduce maximum 401(k) contributions to help fund tax cuts.

In the little free-time that I have, I’m typically reading, or listening to learn more about this new technology that is being compared to the introduction of the internet. Who knows if it will have the impact the blockchain and…
Every Saturday I’ll be releasing my own compilation, a mixtape if you will, of blog posts from the week I think are worth your time. The mixtape is back after a one-week hiatus; it was the beginning of Fall Break for Roman and Leo, and we just had too much to do. It’s been a fun week of balancing work…
