About This Blog

This blog is dedicated to spreading the idea that investment success is based upon stubbornly following a few (very simple) principles:

  1. Diversifying your portfolio,
  2. Minimizing costs (such as brokerage commissions, mutual fund expenses, and taxes), and
  3. Ignoring all the noise from the financial media about what the stock market does from day to day.

About the Author

I’m a fairly young fellow (20s), married, living in Chicago. Prior to becoming a full-time personal finance writer, I worked as a financial advisor (for Edward Jones) and as a tax accountant for a large real estate company here in Chicago.

I now make a living writing a series of books that’s somewhat akin to Cliffs Notes for personal finance topics.
