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. 



I agree wholeheartedly with Rick. The search for perfection stops far too many from achieving the “pretty darn good.” You’ll only ever know the exact right answer by looking in the rearview mirror.
