Hi. I'm Mike Piper, the author of this blog. I'm a CPA and the author of several personal finance books. The point of this blog is to show that investing doesn't have to be complicated. 



Congratulations on the milestone and thanks for sharing the link.
I finally got a Kindle about a week ago and now I’ve read 2.5 of your books in the last couple of days. Great stuff. You explain the issues about LLCs and corporations so well!
Thank you, Wade!
If you have any questions about the material in the books — or related topics — please ask.
I LOVE the Time-JD Roth article about 401(k) investing. Every worker with access to a 401(k) should read it!
Congratulations. You deserve it. I must say you are much younger (or at least younger looking) than I expected. :O)
Congrats on that milestone Mike.
I’m still dawdling along in your wake.
Congrats on your milestone!
Hope to continue reading your blog for a long time!
Thanks, everybody!
