About

This channel is dedicated to helping you achieve financial freedom. Videos cover everything from getting out of debt to investing for the very first time. TOPICS: --Getting out of debt --Creating a budget that works --Investing for retirement in a 401(k) or IRA --Buying a home --Improving your credit --Understanding insurance --Managing student loans --Finding the best banks and credit cards --Saving money ABOUT ME: I've been writing about personal finance and investing since 2007. After spending 25 years as a securities lawyer in Washington DC, I retired in 2016 to run my personal finance blog full time. Since then I've sold the blog, and now serve as the Deputy Editor of Forbes Money Advisor. I'm also the author of Retire Before Mom and Dad--The Simple Numbers Behind a Lifetime of Financial Freedom.

Video Description

Many claim that the 60/40 portfolio is dead. They argue that because of interest rates, inflation, and bond returns this year, a retiree should no longer rely on a portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% bonds. Here's why I believe that the 60/40 portfolio is as valid today as it has ever been.
