Financial Samurai


Sam Dogen’s blog was started after the 2008 financial crisis as a way for him to make sense of what was happening in the finance world. Since then, he’s built it to be one of the fastest growing, and honest personal finance blogs on the internet. He gives you detailed reviews of financial products that will help you plan for retirement. Financial Samurai delves deeper into investing, real estate, retirement planning, career strategies, and more, so we can all achieve financial independence sooner, rather than later.

Beat The Bush

 

Videos about Credit Cards, Personal Finance, Early Retirement and Finance hacks. Beat The Bush is short for "Beat Around The Bushes" which means not getting to the point. Later on, it seemed appropriate to assume getting to the point of not getting to the point and you get Beat The Bush.

 


Graham Stephan  

 

Quote from his YouTube Channel...
"As a 28 year old real estate agent and investor who started working in real estate shortly after turning 18, with over $120,000,000 in residential real estate sales since 2008, I've created this channel to share my successes, failures, and experiences in the real estate industry and to support others who are thinking of getting into the business. Oh, and I'm also obsessed with cars. A lot. So expect to see some cars uploaded to my channel. A lot. And Subscribe. Because all the cool kids are doing it."  


RECOMMENDED INVESTMENT PLATFORMS


Betterment

 

Betterment is a clear leader among robo-advisors. The company offers two service options: Betterment Digital, its legacy offering, has no account minimum and charges 0.25% of assets under management annually. Betterment Premium provides unlimited phone access to certified financial planners for a 0.40% fee and a $100,000 account minimum. Betterment’s goal-oriented tools and helpful tax strategies should appeal to investors of all types. Access to human advisors is available with the Premium plan, or by purchasing a standalone advice package.


Personal Capital

 

Personal Capital is an online financial advisor, combining robo-advisor algorithms with access to human financial advisors for a more personal experience. The service requires a $100,000 minimum investment, and account balances of $200,000 or more get assigned two dedicated financial advisors; those below that have access to a team of advisors. Personal Capital charges an 0.89% account management fee, though that fee is discounted to as low as 0.49% for larger account balances. Personal Capital's fee comes with a slew of financial and investment planning tools (some of which are free to non-customers), as well as the ability to link existing accounts and track spending, net worth, portfolio performance, retirement progress and fees. A retirement paycheck feature helps clients plan their withdrawals come retirement, including tax-optimized withdrawal strategies.


Discover Bank

 

Discover is best known for its rewards credit cards, but that’s just a portion of its business. It’s a full-service online bank, as well as a payment services company. Discover offers banking and retirement solutions for individuals. Discover is also a lender, with personal, student and home equity loans available. Because they are strictly an online bank, Discover doesn’t have local branches that customers can visit in person for banking needs. That doesn’t mean they aren’t accessible, though. Discover is known for its superb customer service, which is available 24 hours a day.


Fundrise

 

Fundrise is the first investment platform to create a simple, low-cost way for anyone to access real estate's historically consistent, exceptional returns. You can invest in either professionally managed residential real estate called eFunds or a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate called eREITs. It combines state-of-the-art technology with in-house expertise to reduce fees and maximize your long-term return potential.
