Key Ideas
Your pension is an investment of time and energy.
Index funds were the most recommended form of investing.
There are pros and cons of dividend investing and real estate investing, so don’t dive in unless you want to!
Your mindset can make or break your financial success.
It's critical to align your investments with your financial goals.

The taxable brokerage is powerful for flexibility.
Bonus Tip
Here is a bonus tip I didn't get to in the episode.
One of the coolest things I discussed this season was with Andrew Hallam. He mentioned that if you buy a coffee every day for $6 you are missing a $1,000,000 portfolio. We did the math and he might be right. Surely $7 a day properly invested for 30 years would lead to a $1,000,000 portfolio. Small things can make all the difference!
