Still slowly going through Bogle’s Advice on Mutual Funds. My understan... more

I greatly enjoy listening to the this show,... more

  • For my atheist friend

    You’re the only podcast that combines atheism and financial advice. And even though you moved from our home state of Illinois. I still listen to your episode.. Just finished your most recent where you asked to receive more reviews and get your total number higher than 440. You now have 441.
