    CYM021: Check The Simple Path to Wealth Book

    Those seeking financial literacy may reach out to a professional such as an AFC(Accredited Financial Counselor such as myself), a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) or another licensed professional. Others may get their information from a seemingly trusted source, or even the internet. Then there's the group that loves to read. In this episode I review the popular personal finance book "Simple Path to Wealth" by J. L. Collins, Mr. Money Mustache. I share some of the debt reducing guidelines he provides, what you "should" do in a Bear market, and an interesting way to consider using Target Date Retirement Funds.
