Rowe is one of the Observer's Best Debut Novelists of 2025. She's an artist and writer who has been praised for Lifecycle of a Moth by Lucy Rose, Molly Aitken and Gabrielle Griffiths. Get the book here or at your local bookshop. An itchy feeling.A wrinkle in the forest.A cracking twig.A coming sound.Myma, do you hear it?Myma, do you hear?Myma?Maya and Daughter live in complete isolation in a secluded woodland, their days aligned with the light and changing seasons, a complex pattern of routine and ritual. Daughter has never questioned the life her mother has chosen for them; the life that has meant she's never met another soul, or known anywhere except their forest home.But one day, when Daughter is almost sixteen, a red-haired stranger steps into the confines of their territory. Where there was always two, suddenly there are three - and the carefully constructed world that Maya has built to keep her daughter safe may not survive it.Urgent, haunting and thrillingly alive, Life Cycle of a Moth explores both the tenderness and ferocity of maternal love, asking what we might find ourselves capable of - and willing to sacrifice - in order to shelter those we hold dear.

You may have heard recommendations that range anywhere between 10% and 50% when it comes to how much of your income to save for retirement. I often recommend saving a min of 20% of gross income to physicians who plan to invest primarily in stock and bond index funds. How do you know what saving rate you need in your situation? What it comes down to is how many years you save (and invest) for retirement prior to withdrawing from the portfolio to fund retirement and how large of a portfolio is necessary to support the level of spending you desire to have once you are retired. The other factor is how long of a retirement you are expecting, which is a bit variable since no one really knows at what age they will die. If you plan on working until you are 65, you probably don't need to plan for a 40 year retirement but there is a possibility you could live to age 105. In this episode, I first do some calculations at various savings rates based on a $350,000 income, which is around the current average income for a physician. I think discuss Wade Donald Plau's research on Safe Savings Rates.This is an episode where it may be helpful to read the information and look at the chart.

People often ask me what I'd change in Fundamentals of Data Engineering. Usually, I reply "not much", as the the Data Engineering Lifecycle still remains intact. However, I see the role of data engineers shifting both left and right. What does this mean? Have a listen.

Our conversations with Professor Scott Cederburg from Eller College of Management have led to the most heated debates among our listeners! Today, Prof. Cederburg returns to discuss the changes he's made to his paper that was the foundation of previous conversations - ‘Beyond the Status Quo: A Critical Assessment of Lifecycle Investment Advice'. We begin with the data setup and headline findings of the paper before Prof. Cederburg defines “domestic” and “international” as they appear in his paper, why the block bootstrap approach is vital to his work, how and why the results of his paper differ from the status quo, and the evaluation metrics he uses to compare different investment strategies. Then, we explore his optimal base portfolio, the strategy he uses to derive it, how it performs in simulated worst-case scenarios, and how it changes when ditching the bootstrap approach or changing strategies from constant spending to proportional spending. To end, we learn of the importance of including the US in international stock portfolios, how it changes when the US is viewed as special above others, the correlation between labor income and domestic stock returns, and how the reviews of academics and practitioners have changed since the first iteration of the paper until this latest edition.     Key Points From This Episode:   (0:00:00) What to look forward to in today's conversation with Prof. Scott Cederburg (0:04:49) The data setup and headline findings from his paper, ‘Beyond the Status Quo.'

In this episode we answer emails from Dustin, MyContactInfo, and Mark.  We discuss the ETF GDE and combo return stacked funds generally, why you probably don't want to use economists' "life cycle model" for personal finance planning due to its unrealistic underlying assumptions, and whether we could use historical high interest rates to create market timing and allocation signals between stocks and bonds.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional links:Article About BTGD:  New ETF Offers Dual Exposure to Bitcoin, Gold | etf.comOptimized Portfolios Site:  Optimized Portfolio - Investing and Personal FinanceRational Reminder Podcast Re Lifecycle Model:  Ben Mathew: The Lifecycle Model vs. Safe Withdrawal Rates (SWR) | Rational Reminder 340Debunking Economics:  Debunking Economics - Revised and Expanded Edition: The Naked Emperor Dethroned?: Keen, Steve: 8601406370678: Amazon.com: BooksAmusing Unedited AI-Bot Summary:When market turbulence strikes, diversification proves its worth. This week, as the S&P 500 tumbles nearly 4% year-to-date and the NASDAQ falls over 6%, gold emerges as the standout performer—surging past $3,000 an ounce with returns exceeding 13%. These dramatic market movements create a perfect real-world demonstration of why uncorrelated assets matter in portfolio construction.We dive deep into the limitations of economic models for personal financial planning, examining why the Life Cycle Model—while logically sound in theory—falls apart when confronted with life's inherent unpredictability. The assumption that we can accurately forecast our lifespans, relationships, and changing preferences decades in advance reveals a fundamental disconnect between theoretical economics and practical personal finance.A thought-provoking listener question explores whether allocation strategies should shift dramatically if interest rates ever reach levels where risk-free returns match or exceed historical stock returns. Drawing on lessons from the early 1980s when Treasury yields exceeded 15%, we consider why developing investment rules based on rare historical anomalies rarely serves investors well.The weekly portfolio review shows mixed performance across our eight sample portfolios, with those holding significant gold allocations weathering the current volatility far better than stock-heavy alternatives. We also examine rebalancing decisions for the Levered Golden Ratio portfolio, making thoughtful adjustments to improve its value tilt and diversification characteristics.Whether you're curious about combining assets in hybrid funds, wondering how managed futures perform during market corrections, or simply wanting to see how different portfolio strategies are navigating current conditions, this episode delivers practical insights for the thoughtful, independent investor. Join us for this exploration of asset allocation in uncertain times.Support the show

Lynette Zang, financial analyst and economist, explains why the US dollar is at the end of its life cycle, with only 3 cents of purchasing power remaining from the original dollar. She details how currency collapses follow predictable patterns, with the current system having effectively died in 2008. Zang calculates gold's fundamental value at over $40,000 per ounce based on global debt divided by available gold, and predicts a hyperinflationary depression as the transition mechanism to a new monetary system. She outlines her eight-part preparation strategy focusing on food, water, energy, security, barterability, wealth preservation, community, and shelter, while advocating for sound money with convertible gold backing to force fiscal responsibility.Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Links: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLynetteZanghttps://x.com/TheLynetteZang0:00 Introduction of Lynette Zang 1:22 Big picture view on currency life cycles 3:44 Analysis of pattern recognition in markets 5:55 Discussion of dollar's end game scenario 8:43 Four key functions of money and fiat failures 10:02 Explanation of negative interest rates11:32 Inflation impact and purchasing power decline 13:56 Gold vs dollar performance since 1913 15:10 Economic outlook and debt sustainability 17:24 Compounding interest and credit exhaustion 20:09 Gold-backed currency and fiscal responsibility 21:25 Gold price behavior and performance analysis 23:51 Gold valuation methodology 26:34 Gold revaluation and confidence loss 28:29 Personal asset allocation strategy 30:32 CBDCs and currency transition tactics 34:13 Monetary reset discussion37:04 Hyperinflationary depression outlook 40:19 Preparedness strategies and food security 43:49 Detailed home preparedness approach 48:46 Economic outlook beyond recession 51:06 Eight critical preparation categories 52:57 Central bank gold buying motivations 54:42 Gold standard and sound money advocacy 57:39 Perception management and paradigm shifts 1:01:12 Closing thoughts and contact information
