Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is It Time to Buy Bonds?
Q: Given my income and future plans, should I switch from Roth contributions to traditional contributions?
It's advisable to consider shifting to traditional contributions as you approach a higher tax bracket due to your income.
Is It Time to Buy Bonds?
Q: What advice would you give to a service member in his first enlistment who is interested in investing?

How to Triple Your Net Worth in 5 Years
Q: How should a retail investor play this crazy financial landscape?
Everything is becoming more financialized and interconnected, which could lead to more severe downturns but also means more attention on these assets. Consumers need to understand the risks involved in this landscape.
How to Triple Your Net Worth in 5 Years
Q: What if we just don't have a recession for the rest of the decade?
Recessions happen less often now than in the past due to social safety nets, but relying solely on AI to sustain the economy may overlook critical factors like consumer spending.
How to Triple Your Net Worth in 5 Years
Q: If you were like me at 25, debt free with 67,000 euros net worth, what investing or allocation strategies would you prioritize to realistically reach 200 to 400,000 euros in four to five years?
Focus on saving the highest amount possible to improve your chances of reaching the goal, as investments alone may not yield the required returns for the higher-end goal.
