Retire To More Fun With Less Money – STK #Podcast 112

The amazing blogger Brian from DoneByForty.com joins in the fun this week…and because he’s focused on early retirement, so are we! Brian, Len Penzo and Greg McFarlane tackle this week’s articles from Marketwatch, Time and the Federal Reserve.

Joe & OG discuss advisors cha-chinging the cash register when they change firms. Should clients know how much their advisor’s pocketing because of the switch? They also wonder, “Should you buy brand new mutual funds?” You might be surprised by the answer.

As always, there’s much, much more. Joe reviews the HBO series Bored to Death, we take listener letters AND give a shout out to a listener review.

Thanks for listening!
