Guest on ChooseFI · 3 books · 2 episodes across 1 podcast

Paul Merriman appeared as a guest on ChooseFI to discuss retirement planning and his investment philosophy, during which he recommended and discussed several key financial books. He singled out Jason Zweig's book, Your Money and Your Brain, asserting that it should be considered required reading for young investors because it addresses the psychological side of money management that many people struggle with. Additionally, Merriman and the podcast host promoted his own co-authored book, We're Talking Millions! 12 Simple Ways to Supercharge Your Retirement, explaining its core principles and how listeners could obtain copies. Merriman also referenced John C. Bogle's book, Enough, using Bogle's insights to illustrate the fundamental concept of determining a sufficient and satisfying level of investment returns rather than endlessly chasing higher benchmarks. Through these book discussions, Merriman emphasized the psychological, behavioral, and practical foundations required for achieving long-term financial independence and a secure retirement.

    “I think if Jason zweig's book your money and your brain was around I would absolutely call that required reading as a young investor because it does address the psychological end of this process and and as an advisor I found that most people around money topics are a little bit nuts and that book explains why we are nuts”
