  • This ‘Roth Evangelist’ Spent Years Turning His Retirement Portfolio Entirely Roth - WSJ

    For the Rosses, the all-Roth strategy is a bet that tax rates will be the same or higher when they take money out of the accounts. Paul thinks that because of the U.S. government’s deficit spending, “tax rates probably only have one way to go over the long term, and that is up,” he said.

    The financial talking heads all focus on the math of why pre-tax makes more sense than Roth, but they never address this point. How can tax rates go any lower?!

    Build the Life You Want 📚

    I’m not exactly sure how I made it this far in life before hearing about Arthur C. Brooks, but I’m glad that I did! I’ve listened to a few of his podcasts, including his interview with Rainn Wilson on the Soul Boom podcast. Arthur is a true philosopher with a deep background in Catholicism, bringing my ideal blend of faith and reason to any topic.

    Brooks has spent a considerable part of his career working on the subject of happiness. This book, co-written with Oprah, focuses on the science and application of principles that help us reorient our lives towards something more.

    I will admit, the book had lots of moments that sparked new thinking, but it was a slog to finish it. I don’t know why, because I found the writing to be engaging and easy to get through.

    His work has really exploded across the internet over the last twelve months, from podcasts to Hallow to Headspace. He’s worth the time.

    Vocation - Catholic Husband

    This is the power of yes and the power of vocation, like a ripple in a lake, growing bigger and spreading far beyond just the first action. Though we may not always see it, or even know its effects, we always accomplish greater things when we say yes to God and to our vocation.
