9 Good Financial Rules
9 Good Financial Rules
I thought I'd share this as it's all very BOGLEHEADISH. "Nine Financial Rules You Should Never Forget". A very nice easy summary of most of what we Bogleheads live by. I particularly liked "Most Financial Problems Are Caused By Debt"...it's one that we often talk around, but I've never realized it quite that simplified.

Always good to see others having a Bogleish leaning.

Too bad they don't teach these in school.

Brilliant advice, well communicated. I would add these two additional rules to the Big 9:
1. Warren Buffet's advice to buy index funds and
2. Benjamin Graham's advice that every investor should have between 25 and 75 percent of their investments in equities at all times. Interesting to note that Graham wrote that advice long before there was such a thing as modern portfolio theory.

Moved to Investing - Theory, News & General forum. Despite the title, most of this is about investing rather than personal finance. BTW, it would have been off-topic if it were finance, since that subforum requires that topics be about the poster's personal situation.
Re: 9 Good Financial Rules
Whew! When I saw the red, I thought I was in trouble for being "non-actionable". Yet I've seen many good BOGLEHEAD type articles similarly posted, so I took the risk. This seems very appropriate, but I've thought that before. What is the criteria for "not-directly-actionable" but still appropriate for posting. I think this is it, but like other stuff once noted by Supreme Court, it's hard to define.
