Hey MT, I scanned through the first page of threads and didn't see this posted. I hope it's not Germans, I couldn't stand the internet ridicule.

Bill Bernstein wrote a phamplet on investing for young professionals that gives a no-nonsense guide to investing for retirement. It takes about an hour to read through and is well worth the time.

For many MT posters this will be just a pleasant reinforcement to what they already know but there might be a few lurkers that could benefit from reading it.

It's typically for sale on Amazon for $0.99 but its free today.

Edit to avoid hijack:

Could you give some high level views of the book?

Yeah...the 1/3 in bonds is surprising.

I'm 25 and have 5% in bonds.

What about the coonass plan? Have a small family home paid in cash on family land in a rural impoverished area in a state with low property taxes that has some decent hunting and fishing areas on it. Then, put a garden on it. If the economy goes south and you lose your plant or oilfield job, you just hunt, fish, and garden until you get back on your feet. You don't need as big of an emergency fund because your only liabilities are power (which can be mitigated some through solar panels), phone, internet, and television since you have no debt. You can always ax the internet and cable if necessary or hunt nutria's and sell veggies to make money.

I'm early 30s and 100% stocks with a 6 month or so e fund. If I lose my job in a recession I won't sell stocks to get by.

Always can cut grass, deliver pizza, whatever. My debt is very low though.
