Tony Robbins interviewed big names in finance to put together a practical guide to financial freedom: how fees, compound interest and asset allocation work, and how to build a portfolio that can weather any market.
My notes
Compound interest is the most important force: starting early beats starting with a lot
Small fees destroy wealth over the long run. Always check how much you are paying
Nobody can predict the market consistently, not even the professionals
Low-cost index funds beat most actively managed funds
Asset allocation is the most important decision: splitting between safety and growth
Rebalance the portfolio periodically
Crashes and corrections are part of the cycle, not the end. Whoever doesn't sell in a panic recovers
All Seasons portfolio (Ray Dalio): build something that survives inflation, deflation, growth and recession
Have an emergency fund before taking on risk
Set a number: how much you need to be financially free
Automate contributions so you don't depend on willpower
