ABOUT ME

While still working as a trial attorney in the securities field, I started writing about personal finance and investing In 2007. In 2013 I started the Doughroller Money Podcast, which has been downloaded millions of times. Today I'm the Deputy Editor of Forbes Advisor, managing a growing team of editors and writers that produce content to help readers make the most of their money.

Love the off topic intro to this video, Rob. Very thought provoking. Also, just finished the Silo series. Excellent!

[janethunt]

Rob, I absolutely love your show. I love hearing your explanations on why you think what you think on financial questions. It helps me.

[rapfreak]

Start With Why by Simon Sinek is another good book related to your monologue. Good to hear you wax philosophical.

[davidfolts]

If we understood how many of our beliefs were faulty, astonishment would ensue.

[ParkSloper]

Wish I hadn't missed the live, excellent opening on the "why". Code Breaker is an educational read. Speaking of Why, just finished Shift, second book in the Silo series, a real good detailer of the who, how and why of Wool.

[DanABA]

When I truly learned how the scientific method works, I was convinced. That said, philosophy takes things a bit further!

[rapfreak]

Looking forward to the Wednesday video, will that be Rob Berger or Dough Roller?
Congrats on finding a sponsor that fits your brand.

​My belief is that your camera is not level. From the viewer"s perspective, the left side of the screen is lower than the right side. Otherwise, love the content! Thank you!

[hanwagu]

I believe what I believe because I am always right and everyone else is wrong.🤭

[galato]

Thanks you for your videos, Rob. What do you suggest: I will have a $95, 000 from a house sale and I have $30, 000 in debt. Do you think should be a good idea to pay all this debt? or get a Line of Credit against this $95, 000 and pay the debt month to month? thanks

[dinkle]

Love your show, but Rob please purchase a quieter keyboard. There are days I cannot get through the entire video because the clicking of the keyboard is teeth rattling. 😊 Truly, enjoy your show and wishing you all the best.

@Rob Berger How did you get the Rom Space Knight comic book behind you? Did you used to collect comics?

[michaelswami]

I think as long as 401Ks exist,
mutual funds will not be going away.

[zoner__]

Buy Msft and forget about it. Let it ride

Better to invest in Covered call ETFs that offer out of the money options, as opposed to “at the money” and always reinvent as much as possible of the dividends you receive, otherwise they’re not worth it.
You would want covered call ETFs if you are look for income now, someone retiring, as opposed to returns in the future.

The fact the Bible is the inspired word of God comes from the Bible itself. 2nd Timothy 3:16 KJV. No need to wonder anymore.. You are welcome.

The soul lives forever so what is most important for anyone when it comes to hell Or heaven? Nothing last forever retirement for example is just for a season but eternity is forever!!!! The satan is a lier and deceiving everyone !

Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
Matthew 11:25.

The world can’t see the truth because they’re not believing !

1 Corinthians 3:19 S
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”.

[ltmsimply]

Eternity is forever with a humble heart I love to share my faith.. That’s awesome you are speaking about it !
Jesus said : “But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. “
Matthew 10:33

Sorry, I stopped watching and began boycotting the NFL years ago. When the league and players began supporting the racist, criminal Marxist BLM, millions of us said never again! They showed their true ungrateful hate for law enforcement and our military. There are many things far more important than watching football.

[mickster]

as for covid vaccines, i'll just say i'm glad i didn't get it. why do i believe the bible is the inspired word of God? well, that's a pretty complicated issue but i will say that fulfilled prophecy is one of the main reasons. but there is obviously so much more.
