I agree, Ben has become one of my fav big picture finance guys and his blog/website has tons of great articles with useful insight. That being said .. This is a strange comment! Idk his NW but either way, is there some kind of NG/NW ratio I don't know about? 😅 Nice Guy/Net Worth Deservability Index? Like maybe Ben has a NG rating of 90 out of 100 so if NW of $30M then his NGNW would be 3.0 But what if he got 10% less nice? Would he only be deserving of $27M NW? I mean I'm probably 4% nicer than Ben- where's my $31.2M NW? Jk Jk. Just messing around. Cheers!
Jill, loved this! I am an origin story guy and I have heard some of the bits and pieces that he’s shared on Animal Spirits but hearing Ben’s professional and personal story was something that had bit incomplete. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is… Jill & Ben…. you Complete Me. 🙌🏽🤘🏽🐐🏆
Mine and my wife’s retirement portfolios are 90% s&p 500 index fund 10% short term bonds (Warren Buffett portfolio). Our taxable brokerage account is 50% single stocks and 50% cash in money market account. We also have rental property and a paid off home. We have less than 1% crypto and no gold or silver. My goal next year is to increase my cash position.
I love red hold wealth management because it was started by a bunch of bloggers. I’m also a blogger, writing about anime for nearly 30 years, and I have built my company success around that brand.
22:46 Young people don’t actually *know* what they want their career to be when they start. They just assert it with a lot more confidence than you did, Ben. They still end up finding out they started off wrong and need to make adjustments - sometimes small ones, other times big ones. Overconfidence and hubris aren’t the same as deep knowing.
I don’t agree with Bens definition of sell and buy side - I like the CFA definition- sell side create and initially sell the products into the markets (securitise equity, debt, derivatives, etc). Buy side… buys those products.
I sold my winners before the election results. Left money on the table but that's just the way it works. It's more money I can put into my index fund and left some cash on the sideline for the future dips.
Another example of why asset allocation is complete gibberish... any educated person who put anything more than 0% allocation into bonds when they were yielding less than three and a half percent has no concept of investing
It is hard to imagine that I can sit here, listen and learn. And all for FREE! Thank you so much!
Batnick cover your ears.... okay.
We need more Jill and Ben shows. I love you two together.
Ben always really seems like a nice guy.. He deserves his $30 Million net worth!

@@digilifeproIt’s a reference to what Jill mentioned in the video about Googling his name.
Thanks for discussing Ben's background before your main discussion, it brings life to the topic. Nice work!
Ben is always brings simplicity and common sense to investing.
Ben described my crypto policy almost word for word. I feel better now. Buy a bit, set and forget. Itch scratched. Done.
Well done, the voice of reason Ben.
Just love you two! Ben is the most likeable character in the FinTube space!

Me to everyone - don’t invest in individual stocks
My portfolio - 75% individual 25% indexes 😂

Not every hospital is non profit
