In this mailbag episode, Doug and Carl answer questions from listeners. Here’s what we covered:

How is Carl planning for his kids’ college expenses?
What things should you keep in mind when discussing a trust with a lawyer?
What’s up with the Vanguard 2040 target date fund issuing massive capital gains distributions in 2021?
What were our favorite microbrews of 2021?
What was the best personal and professional part of 2021 for us?
Do you need a high salary (or risky investments) to chase FI?
Doug made a lot of 2022 resolutions for Carl, but doesn’t do them himself. What’s up with that?
What do you spend money on that you really value?
