The Sunday Best is a collection of articles I’ve curated for your reading pleasure.
Expect most of the writing to be from recent weeks and consistent with the themes presented on this website: investing & taxes, financial independence, early retirement, and physician issues.
Presenting, this week’s Sunday Best:
A couple of great people I met this week at FinCon17 got together in this outside-the-box investor profile Coach Carson interviews Rich on Money in Real Estate Investing While Overseas in the Military.
The White Coat Investor wants to see how the other half lives, so he’s been Playing Early Retiree. I hear it’s a fun game to play!
Optimal Withdrawal Rates and Sequence of Returns Risk are analyzed actuarially by the one and only Actuary on FIRE in Reprise! Sequence of Returns Risk.
I love it when readers take my advice to start their own DAF, a gift that truly keeps on giving. Our friends at Need2Save have done so: Starting and Maintaining a Donor Advised Fund.
I think a list of three might be the tip of an iceberg, but Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet? identified some good ones in The 3 Great Misconceptions About Retirement Saving.
Lets turn our focus from misconceptions to nasty habits. From my friend Dr. Cory S. Fawcett, Three Bad Habits for Your Wealth.
Big ERN is not one to chase returns. On Early Retirement Now, he profiles one asset with an amazing track record. This Fund Returned Over 100% Year to Date. I’m Still Not Buying It!
Our cardiologist friend from Dads Dollars Debts lost his home in a most unfortunate FIRE. An update on his life turned upside down in 2 Weeks Later — Tubbs Fire.
FinCon 2017!
A lack of further content brought to you by FinCon 2017, an amazing conference / party / opportunity to meet just about everyone you only knew online and become fast friends.
I’m fairly certain today marks the first time in 41 years that I slept through a Vikings kickoff. Darn you, bloggers. Darn you, NFL in London. Darn you, good times!
Have a marvelous week!

PoF, It’s amazing to meet you and all these other amazing people in person. Thanks for thinking of us for your roundup!
Great to have met you in person!
Now on to our next adventure… 😉
PoF – Thanks for the mention! Your articles on Donor Advised Funds set us in the right direction.
So great to hear! My hope with the DAF articles is to inspire others to follow suit. Glad it’s working!

Thanks for the mention! Hope you had fun at the FinCon. I’ll make sure I can attend the 2018 conference in Orlando!
Cheers!

A big honor to be included and hope to see you at Fincon next year!
Great collection as always! I read “How the Other Half Lives — My Wife’s View of My Early Retirement” and thought it was a great interview too. No wonder it was featured on Rockstar Finance!
I missed out on your coozies at FinCon since I couldn’t make it this year. I’m glad you’re having a great time at the conference! ^.^
Hey Doc,
Hope you enjoyed FinCon.
And thanks again for the Sunday’s Best. I enjoyed reading the articles. Btw, DadsDollarsDebt links are linking to CanIRetireYet. Hopefully you correct it when you get a chance.
Thanks for the tip! FinCon was fantastic, and I’ve updated the link.
Cheers!

Thanks for the mention PoF. Hope FinCon was all it was advertised to be and more.
Hopefully you can make it next year, PoF was handing out his sweet limited edition coozies!
I saw a picture…brilliant…I think PoF may actually have a marketing degree and just free lances as an anesthesiologist.
This!
Annnddd PoF absolutely killing it on the dance floor.
It’s always an honor to be included in your Sunday Best list. Thanks for the shout out. I enjoyed spending some time with you at FINCON17.
