About This Episode

Paul begins the podcast by noting a recent interview he had with Andrew Giancola of Master Money and the Personal Finance Podcast.  The topic is “ Simple Financial Steps With Massive Payoffs.”
In this podcast Paul discusses a new study that compares long term returns of the S&P 500 and the 4 Fund Portfolio.  The study was motivated by an  article written by Ben Carlson
Paul discusses the same 20 year periods starting in 1930 and compares the results of The 4 Fund Portfolio to that of the S&P 500.  He also makes the case, using one of  his favorite quilt charts , that the 4 Fund Portfolio is not only more profitable but is less risky on an annual basis.
