Bit late to the party — and maybe I’ve missed this elsewhere – but on what basis is the writer of that paragraph assuming that 20- and 30-somethings are facing “stagnating incomes?”

Another request for the asset allocation article. I’ve recent got into the Roth IRA world (since my employer doesn’t match) and can’t seem to bridge the percentage-type recommendations I see on financial sites with the actual funds. I’ve also noticed that index funds (what I was most interested in) have a higher minimum ‘buy in’… which goes against me using a Roth IRA. Anyways… looking forward to your (future) article!

Ack, sorry. It slipped off my radar and I won’t be able to get to it for a few weeks at the soonest.

hey Ramit, any chance you’ll be getting to that asset allocation article soon? Something on that from you would really interest me. I’m currently figuring out how to invest my RothIRA that i just finished up on tax day . That and I’ve got some other investments I’m trying to assess for their diversity, etc.

Thanks

Hmm...that's weird. Try calling their SF office at (415) 597-6700 or their San Jose office at (408) 280-5530. You can also register online.

I called the Commonwealth Club to reserve tickets but haven’t received a confirmation. Is there any other way of reserving student tickets? I left a phone number on their ticket line. No one picked up at the main number. thanks!

Oh drats…I can’t make the Commonwealth event, my burning man camp is having its first meeting that night. I’m a fan of your blog and I took one of Robinson’s classes at Berkeley and he was one of the most engaging profs there. It would have been fun to hear two of my favorites at once!

Please do a piece on asset allocation! Even a little bit would help!

I just came across your blog here. Yay for another young person blogging! I am 23.

Our generation knows little to nothing about money. Our parents (at least mine) never told us anything, and now we are being told by the media. It’s crazy.

I wish I had known what I know now, three years ago, about what it feels like to be in debt. BEFORE I got myself really, really, in debt (like 300k+ in debt…). Live and learn I guess.

I’m gonna go read some of your friday posts, I’m an entrepreneur as well…

You should create a spin-off blog just for Friday Entrepreneurs.

1 post, once a week, of pure entrepreneurial goodness.
