Introducing Investing For A Living Screencasts
Just a quick post today to introduce a new (and pretty exciting, at least from my point of view) development over at hubby’s Investing For A Living blog. I love my hubby’s blog, but I have to admit that I don’t always “get” absolutely everything that he writes. He’s been investing since he was 18 and he reads investing & economics books/papers for fun (I’m not kidding) so his mind works in deep and complicated ways. It’s a thought I’ve heard echoed by others we’ve met and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had requests for him to do a more “basic” series. You know, something for the newbies, the starters, the regular folks.
Well, I’m super excited we have him convinced!
He’s agreed to start a screencast series. Nothing elaborate, just small, short 5-10 min videos to talk about investing basics. The series will hopefully evolve over time to more complicated stuff, but for now he’s focusing on “back to basics” retirement concepts. His first video “how much does it take to retire” should give everyone who’s never heard of the terms SWR or 4% rule a solid insight into what that actually means, and how it might impact your retirement goals. In the future he’ll talk about extensions & exceptions to that rule.
So, if you’re interested in this series head on over to the first installment. Feel free to subscribe to the channel and/or just watch out for new screencast announcements on hubby’s blog. Enjoy!
Nina, We have followed “Wheeling It” for a long time and started following Paul’s blog through yours. I retired early this past January and our house goes up for sale next week. Our diesel pusher is ready to go. You have given Debbie and I a great education on full timing and Paul has taught me (Larry) so much about investing. Thank you both and I hope we run into you some day.
Larry and Debbie Jenkins
Nice job, Paul!
Oh, dang…I misread it. Thought it was “SCREENCATS”. Now that’s something you should try.
I actually have been following Paul’s blog for almost a year (Nina’s for two) and highly recommend it.
LOL…screencats…nice. Cat channels are HUGE on Youtube, so that might actually get more views LOL.

Great idea Paul! It is soooooo important for people to think ahead about money instead of just hoping that it’ll all come together in the end!
Paul,
Enjoyed your info regarding the 4% rule. It’s great your sharing your knowledge of investing with us. We can all learn from it. As a traveler who loves boondocks, I love reading about your travels also.
Wonderful, Paul! Brief, direct, easily understandable. I’ve been hearing/reading stuff about this for 15 years. Four minutes with you cleared it all up. Look forward to more. Thanks!
Excellent. Paul is basking is happiness right now 🙂
Nina
Big thumbs up! Excellent information that most people dont know! Keep up the good work!
Perfect!! Admittedly I have, “tried” to read your blog Paul and failed miserably. I’m a techie and read system and programming manuals for fun but investing, not-so-much. Short vid’s great for the extreme novice; I actually picked something up. Thanks for that I’m sure it was as excruciating for you to do as it is for me explain wireless networking to an 85 year old. Look forward to the next one.
Very happy the video was useful! Explaining wireless networking to an 85-year old….nooooo, that’s much, much more difficult 🙂
Nina
Thanks Paul, great start. I look forward to following your topics. We all want to know more about handling our investments!
Thank you for posting this screencast. We are at the stage of making our investments and determing what our best moves will be. We are looking for ways to maintain our investments while pulling a small income from them. We have other income besides our investments.
Glad you like the series! Paul will be covering how the 4% rule changes when you have income in later screencasts. Many folks will have *some* kind of income in their retirements years (even if it’s just social security) so it’s a really important topic.
Nina
Together you two post the most helpful blogs I read. Can’t thank you both enough. This is great Paul! My daughter is getting married in about 2 weeks and I’ve sent her this and told her she really must read and follow your advice if she wants to be able to retire at 50.
Learning this stuff young is so important. I did my first budget as a teenager and we both started saving in our 20’s, which is part of the reason we can do what we’re doing now. Congrats on your daughter’s wedding!
Nina
Terrific! This is perfect for me. Thanks Paul! 🙂
This is so awesome! My husband , Toddler boy and I are about to head out full time RVing and this is right up my husbands ally. He has loved Investing and is really interested in! Thanks for putting your knowledge out there for others! Cheers!
So glad it’s helpful!! Paul is planning many more screncasts to come.
Nina
I’m so glad I started reading your blogs and your recommendations of other peoples blogs. We took our travel trailer up to a piece of property in Northern Minnesota that we own. Being so new to this we had so much trouble shooting to do. All of the blogs were so helpful as I remembered so much of what I’ve been reading for the past few weeks. Not only did we have to troubleshoot things for the Hornet, we had to trouble shoot our new truck which is all computerized. We laughed and almost cried but never yelled or hurt each other’s feelings. I think this is going to be a good start for us. Thanks again.
Excellent! Our very first RV trip was in a little van in Australia. It was a great time. We realized we could live in a shoe-closet space and actually ENJOY it. That’s when we knew RVing would be for us. Sounds like you guys had a very similar experience and have found a lifestyle that suits you. Happy trails to you!
