Shannon Dalziel made a strong case for life-cycle mutual funds, a default option for many workplace defined-contribution pension plans but I question the high-fees associated with some of these products.

Same Robb!
Thanks for the mention Mark and kudos for driving the same vehicle for 14 years. I’m only at 6.5 years for my car but I hope to keep ours that long (if not longer)
I kept my last car for about 8 years. I had to change because it was just too small for my growing family. I’m planning to keep this one even longer as long is it holds up ok.
Thanks for linking Mark!
Growing family = minivan. Another financial fact of life 🙂 Have a great weekend Stephen.
The rule of 72 is important to remember when someone tells you what the net rate of growth for any investment. Have a great weekend.
As long as some variables are excluded, the rule works well 🙂
