Shownotes Transcript

In this fast-paced, fun and educational interview by Paula Pant — the self-described “writer and instigator” behind the weekly podcast, “Afford Anything” — Paul and Paula discuss:

  • 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?

  • Should you add internationals to your portfolio?

  • What happens to bond portion of portfolio in 2 Funds?

  • What should investors do with the market at historical highs?

  • How can you know the risk you’re taking?

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.”
