About this listen
Discover how you can make index funds and ETFs work for you without falling into the usual traps.
Are you lured into the index fund game without knowing what you are actually investing in and who really profits from your monthly contributions? Tired of always being on the losing end of the money game while fund providers reap their profits? Torn between hardened critiques and over-jubilant proponents?
With the ever-growing number of index funds and ETFs, it's no wonder that many retail investors are getting lost and confused. They simply don't understand what they are getting into, many times underestimating the real fees they end up paying even with "low cost" index funds and overestimating the returns they hope to achieve.
How have they become so popular?
Index funds and ETFs have seen stratospheric growth since the collapse of 2008 - benefitting from computerized trading, quantitative forms of investment management, and lack of alternatives.
Today, no matter where you look, the gospel of index fund investing has been taken to heart by the media and the masses alike. For the mass consumer, apparently, this form of passive investing is far superior - even revolutionary. But the voices of professional critics get ever louder and more abstruse stopping short of calling them the "devil's work". What is the truth? How exactly do index funds work? Are they really the sure bet they're made out to be or the path to poverty?

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Real estate investors used to build wealth the hard way: slowly saving money and sacrificing their current happiness for a future reward. This method produces results in the long run but what if there's a better, more efficient way that works in years instead of decades? Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat (BRRRR) is the five-part real estate investing strategy that makes financial freedom more attainable than ever: You buy a property under market value, add value with renovations, rent it out to tenants, complete a cash-out refinance, and then use that money to do it all over again.

Story
Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Excellent history and detailed information about index funds. Allows you to make informed decisions, unlike the gross generalizations and cookie-cutter advice regarding index funds found in other books.

Misleading title
There is little about Index funds and ETFs and much more about the author’s investing strategy and ends with a plug for the podcast and investment program. Maybe I missed it but there was no real detail on the methods of specific index providers or how exactly to find the right one based on your needs or wants.

Interesting viewpoint
A little schizophrenic at times going from the stock market is a good thing to it's hopeless, why even bother, you're going to die broke anyway.
The simple premise of diversification is extended to all your asset types, not just the market.
Overall, a good read but be prepared for a depressing middle section of the book.

An insightful exploration of index funds
I have had a simplistic view of index funds, and was convinced I should get an account going, then in the future transfer all my available resources there. Guess what- it's not quite as simple as we have been led to believe. I found the book very informative and listenable, but what impressed me most was the author's independence from any specific way of investing. I was fully convinced that I was getting a more candid overview than I could have heard from a professional investment advisor. The book ends with a clear and very helpful analysis of our best options as private investors. An excellent book.
The reader was very good- smooth, clear, and animated. I dinged her one star for pronouncing the word epitome the way it looks instead of the way it is pronounced ;-)
