    David Booth - The Man Who Changed Investing

    Today I had the good fortune to interview David Booth.  Let me tell you a little bit about him. His modest upbringing in Kansas from selling newspapers at 8 years old to selling shoes as a teenager, to working on the team that launched the first index fund; to pioneering what would come to be known as factor investing, David Booth didn't just witness the financial revolution, he helped lead it.  For five decades, he's bridged the worlds of academic theory and practical investing, collaborating with Nobel laureates to build Dimensional fund advisors into a $1 trillion global firm that has democratized evidence-based investing for millions. Booth earned degrees in economics and business from the University of Kansas, followed by an MBA from the University of Chicago.  His Chicago education proved instrumental to his success, leading to a transformative gift to the business school in 2008.  The University of Chicago Booth School of Business now bears his anime, and the contributions continue to support faculty and their field-defining research. Through his visionary application of financial theory to real world investing, Booth has established himself as one of the most influential figures in investing - an outsider who challenged Wall Street's conventional wisdom and won.

    Will Social Security Be There for Me?

    I was at a speaking engagement this week, and we received several questions from the audience about Social Security. Questions like: When should I start Social Security—at 62 or 67?

We also talk about a new survey from the Reagan National Institute that found many Americans believe affluent households should bear more of the cost of funding entitlement programs. As always, I'll include links to the articles and resources we mention in today's show at SoundRetirementPlanning.com. Just click on Episode 476, titled "Will Social Security Be There for Me?"

    2026 Retirement Challenge: Social Security. What Are We Really Optimizing For?
