So here it is: our original tips plus everything the … Read more

Kids outgrow clothes faster than you can say “laundry day.” One moment you’re trimming tags off a brand-new romper, and the next, it’s riding up like it shrank in the dryer – except it didn’t. But that won’t stop us from buying more – and honestly, it shouldn’t. On the contrary, if you’ve got closets… Read More The post 10 Best Places to Sell Kids Clothes for Extra Cash appeared first on FinSavvy Panda.

Don’t miss an episode of our podcast, Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors. Available on all podcast players. Here’s the latest episode: I was chatting with friend-of-the-blog Geff this past week. He’s a true Boglehead, a long-time investor in broad US-based index funds. Geff asked me whether / why international stocks are needed in portfolio construction. It’s a fair question. There are two main reasons why some people lean all-US: US stocks have historically outperformed international stocks. Why invest in underperformers? Many modern US companies are multinational. You get pseudo-international exposure by owning them. Coca-Cola, for example, gets ~60% of its revenue outside of the US. But it’s part of US stock indices. Despite these two true facts, I still think international exposure is important in portfolio construction. The Performance Track Record Since 1970 (when most data sets begin listing international indices), the US vs. international returns look like this: USA – 11.1% per year International – 9.3% per year Though “only” a 1.8% difference between 11.1% and 9.3%, that’s a huge difference when compounded over the 55-year period. The US market would have turned $1 in 1970 into $357 today. The same dollar in an international index would have only grown to $147. Big difference! But It’s Cyclical… The chart below shows a bit of the “cyclicality” of US outperformance vs international outperformance. If we believe in John Bogle’s “iron rule of investing” – reversion to the mean! – then we might believe that someday, not sure when, international markets will outperform the US for a period of time. On and on, back and forth.  I don’t want to be a cherry-picker, but I think a worthwhile question to ask is:  Given the proposed cyclicality of USA vs. international performance, what if we go back to ~2010, when this current period of US outperformance started?  In other words – let’s measure from 1970 to 2010. In that 40-year period, the returns are: USA – 10.0% per year International – 10.1% per year Interesting! Very similar performance over that 40-year period.  And since 2010 through the end of 2025?  USA – 14.1% per year  International – 7.2% per year 40 years of “even” performance, and then a most-recent 15-year period of clear US outperformance. Will that US outperformance continue in perpetuity? A good question to ponder.  Are You Betting Your Portfolio On It? Are you willing to bet your portfolio on future US outperformance? I see both sides of the argument. The strongest argument toward “100% US stocks” is that a US-based investor with USD liabilities has a legitimate currency-matching reason to overweight US assets. They aren’t making an active investment bet, but instead matching their future USD liabilities to assets (stocks) denominated in USD. But I much prefer the “global diversification” arguments. If markets are informationally efficient, then prices reflect all available information, and the risk-adjusted

Remember when grocery shopping didn’t feel like a financial stress test? You’d toss a few things into the cart without giving them much thought. Chips for movie night. A carton of eggs. A bottle of olive oil. Maybe a frozen pizza for an easy dinner. Today? Many of those same everyday purchases now make people stop, look at the price tag, and quietly put them back on the shelf. It’s not always because people can’t […]
