Retirement seems like everyone's goal, and yet it feels like no one has a solid plan. And moreover, why do we trust ourselves to manage these critical accounts without any education?

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. My guest today is Rodger Friedman. Rodger has over four decades of experience, with high level positions at some of the largest wealth managers in the world. That's all to say that he's very knowledgeable when it come to finding a clear path to a pain free retirement. This one took a whole lot of editing to even out the audio recording issues we faced, and you might even sporadically hear it get totally clear, but it's far from perfect. I just hope you enjoy it all.

Let's plan to quit!

Can you consider yourself retired if you only work on what you love to do? Maybe that's the next goal.

So many people love history, and so many others love fiction; it's no wonder that this Venn diagram overlaps at some point, but I'm almost surprised it's not bigger.

Happy New Years and Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.

My guest today is B McGraw. Roman history nerds rejoice as McGraw writes about the year of the four emperors, 69AD. But here's the deal, historical record only covers so much of the story; so McGraw filled in the gaps with what he thought summed up a humorous emperor's rise to power, then modernized the language so it doesn't read like a boring textbook. In short: He made it up. However, you would actually learn about history if you read his book, making historical fiction a very interesting category.

Let's fake it till we make it!

I want to learn history in basically only this fashion from now on. It very much reminds me of Iconoblast where they were about 90% accurate and 10% nonsense.

In other news... January is looking promising with the following rankings:

1. England of the United Kingdom, holding an unusual top spot. 2. The United States, with California, New York, and Texas still leading. 3. Australia, with Queensland still dominating the others so far. 4. Canada, with Ontario and Quebec neck and neck. 5. Ghana, dethroning Ireland.

The rapid growth of eBay from 1995 on made many people rich; even so there are still an estimated 9 million garage sales in America every year, totaling roughly 2 billion dollars in unreported and untaxed income.

My guest today is Aaron LaPedis. Aaron is known as the "Garage Sale Millionaire", because he literally financed his first business with nothing but savvy bargaining and deal hunting. He's here to share the ways you can horn in on this tax-free game, and how you can make the most doing it. It also helps to when you find yourself needing to declutter the living space, and the extra cash is a bonus. Sorry for the echo at the beginning of the interview and the internet connection issues throughout, my guest has a set up for giving recorded talks and not interviews, but I straightened the audio out as much as possible. Also, just lastly, A huge thanks to everyone down in Sacramento who made it possible to get on stage with Steve Byrne, on of my all time favorite comics.

Let's sell our junk to get rich!

I'm probably the worst type of collector, because I either save my favorite things and keep them safe, or give them away to people who i know will love them. So I never make money on my collections.

In other news... 2025 has begun, and here's some all new ranking for a new year:

1. England of the United Kingdom, working with Scotland to make a big statement. 2. The United States, with New York, California, and Texas out front. 3. Canada, with Ontario at a small lead. 4. Australia, with Queensland dominating the others so far. 5. Ireland, dethroning Ghana.
