Business Cycle

How expansions, peaks, recessions, and recoveries shape markets — the economic backdrop behind the Multi-Cycle approach, explained in plain English.

Volatility, Explained

How mixing different investments changes the size of the swings. Build a mix of stocks, bonds, commodities, alternatives, and cash, and see why a diversified portfolio usually swings less than its pieces suggest, what a typical year looks like around an assumed average, and what the swings cost in compounded growth. Assumptions, not forecasts.

Statistics: Numbers in Context

U.S. household financial statistics — income, savings, net worth, and more — so you can put your own numbers in context instead of guessing how you compare.

The Wedding Trade-Off

What the gap between two wedding budgets could grow into. Enter the wedding you are picturing and a smaller one you could live with, pick an age and an assumed growth rate, and see what the difference could become, before inflation. A hypothetical illustration of compounding, not a projection of any investment; the all-stocks preset uses the S&P 500's historical return since 1926, and past performance is no guarantee of future results.
