Efficiency — Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again and I was going to continue with my series outside of the normal “Stick to Index Funds” Philosophy. However, after talking last week about Taxable Accounts, I think it was a good idea to talk about Being Tax Efficient, at least a little bit. What is “Being Tax Efficient”? Well, I alluded to this in my prior post, but because of how different securities are taxed, where you put your […]

Taxable Accounts — Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Just like I promised I’m going to kick off my new Finance Fridays series talking about Taxable Accounts. Why has it taken you so long to discuss this? It was all on purpose actually.
