Journal Club 12-23-22

Here's Journal Club 12-23-22! Every week, I hold a JOURNAL CLUB. After filtering through the articles on the web, I present a few that impacted my life this week. Be safe and stay well!

• A good asset allocation strategy is essential to having a well-rounded financial plan. If you’re looking for ways to grow and diversify your portfolio, the thought of adding public REITs may have crossed your mind at some point. In that case, The White Coat Investor shares a helpful resource worth considering before investing in any deals in the article – The Case Against Using Public REITs For Portfolio Diversification.

• The best way to describe personal finance is that it’s… well, personal. To which, The Prudent Plastic Surgeon raises an interesting question – should couples in a long-lasting relationship share their finances? To some, this may feel natural and a no-brainer of sorts, but to others, this may be a rather sensitive subject. Curious to find out the author’s perspective? Check out the article – Should Physician Couples Share Finances?

• Are you thinking about making your next big move or simply wondering how it would be to live in a different city? In case you answered yes to that question, the author of Choose FI has put together a beneficial resource for you to consider in the article – Top 10 Best Cities For Financial Independence (2022).

• What’s that one book you read a long time ago that you seemed to dismiss on some grounds, but in reality, you weren’t ready to grasp its true concept or wisdom? The author of Get Rich Slowly talks about one such book he read decades ago but came to realize its value with growing age and experience. Further, the author shares with us the valuable lessons he learned in the article – The seven habits of highly effective people.
