Description

At first, this booklet is to be had for free on my website “efficientfrontier-dot-com,” you will have to click through a couple of links. (Amazon doesn’t allow discrete web links.) Many readers, then again, have asked for a hard copy version suitable for gift giving; here it is. With that out of the way: For years I’ve thought about a project to help today’s young people invest for retirement because, frankly, there’s still hope for them, unlike for most of their Boomer parents. All they’re going to have to do is to put away 15% of their salaries into a low-cost target fund or a simple three-fund index allocation for 30 to 40 years. Which is pretty much the same as saying that if any person exercises and eats a lot less, he will lose 30 pounds. Simple, but not easy. Not easy because unless the millennials learn a small amount about finance, they’re going to fall victim to the Five Horsemen of Personal Finance Apocalypse: failure to save, lack of know-how of financial theory, unawareness of financial history, dysfunctional psychology, and the rapacity of the investment industry. If You Can is just the ticket to guide the young—and not so young—investor through this thicket. And, to repeat, if you just need to read the booklet, it’s to be had for free. This paperback is intended only for gift giving.
