The Huge Blind Spot in Empower’s Asset Allocation
routetoretire.com | 12:15 Uhr
|
I love using the Empower dashboard to manage our investment portfolio. Not only is it worth its weight in gold, but the price of $0 is something worthwhile, too! They’re hoping you decide to use their investment services, but it’s not a requirement. I don’t use their services, but I have heard good things about them. So, if you want an easy way to aggregate all your financial lif[..] |

I wanted to provide an update on upcoming changes at Root of Good. Don't worry - a lot will stay the same, but there will be a few changes. I'll elaborate more below, but in a nutshell, I plan to take a one year hiatus from posting highly detailed income, spending, and net worth reports.Â

Slow Travel Review: Iceland – The Land Of Fire And Ice

So I don’t usually write a Slow Travel Review unless I’ve lived in a place for at least a month (hence the “slow” part”), but I’ve now visited Iceland for a total of two weeks across 2024 and 2025 and I have to talk about it. I love Iceland so much that I gush about … Continue reading Slow Travel Review: Iceland – The Land Of Fire And Ice[..] |

Lotsa people in the FIRE community love KISS. I mean really love KISS. No, no, no. I don’t mean the band, KISS you silly goose! I mean the Keep It Simple Stupid philosophy kind of KISS.

Leveraging AI Made Filing My Taxes Surprisingly Less Stressful

Eight years ago, Dividend Growth Investor (DGI) asked me if I’d like to participate in the Warren Buffett bet.
