The Mad Fientist on specific identification of shares.

Episode 1076: Specific Identification of Shares by The Mad Fientist on How To Reduce Your Tax Burden on Taxable Investments

The Mad Fientist analyzes the tax code and looks at personal finance through the lens of early financial independence to develop strategies and tactics to help you retire even earlier.

Most personal finance advice is geared towards people retiring in their 60s or later and doesn’t apply to those of us pursuing early financial independence. The Mad Fientist is focused on providing advice and innovative tax-avoidance methods specifically for people wanting to break away from full-time employment very early in life. He also hosts the Financial Independence Podcast.

1075: Good Times for Landlords by Mr. Money Mustache on How to Profit from Real Estate Investment & Rental Returns Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

Mr. Money Mustache shares his thoughts on good times for landlords.

Episode 1075: Good Times for Landlords by Mr. Money Mustache on How to Profit from Real Estate Investment & Rental Returns

Mr. Money Mustache is a thirty-something retiree who now writes about how we can all live a frugal, yet awesome, life of leisure.

He and his wife studied engineering and computer science in Canada, then worked in standard tech-industry cubicle jobs in various locations throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Then they retired from real work way back in 2005 in order to start a family. This was achieved not through luck or amazing skill, but simply by living a lifestyle about 50% less expensive than most of their peers and investing the surplus in very boring conservative Vanguard index funds and a rental house or two.

1073: [Part 2] The Perfect Storm - Demonstrating Conflicts of Interest With Investment Advice by Chris Mamula Feb 16, 2020

Show notes

Chris Mamula of Can I Retire Yet shares his thoughts on conflicts of interest with investment advice. This is part 2 of 2.

Episode 1073: [Part 2] The Perfect Storm - Demonstrating Conflicts of Interest With Investment Advice by Chris Mamula

Darrow Kirkpatrick is the founder of CanIRetireYet.com. He began serious investing in his mid-30s and retired at age 50. He's not a dot com millionaire and didn't become financially independent by flipping real estate or trading hot stocks. He did it the traditional way: hard work, frugality, prudent investing, and patience.

When it comes to personal finance, his top priorities are simplicity, reliability, and safety. Now his mission is to help others become financially independent as he did.

More recently, Chris Mamula has been managing the blog and he's a frequent writer on the site. Chris used principles of traditional retirement planning, combined with creative lifestyle design, to retire from a career as a physical therapist at age 41. After poor experiences with the financial industry early in his professional life, he educated himself on investing and tax planning. Now he draws on his experience to write about wealth building, DIY investing, financial planning, early retirement, and lifestyle design.
