At FinCon, Paul reflected on everything from the rise of index funds to the FIRE movement’s “one-fund-for-life” strategy. His message was clear: while simple investing solutions can work, small, thoughtful adjustments—like adding different asset classes—can meaningfully improve long-term returns.

Paul also emphasized timeless investing principles:

Stay the course. Don’t bail when markets turn volatile.

Understand your risk. Know how much you can afford to lose before the storm comes.

Avoid unnecessary costs. A fraction of a percent in fees can add up to millions over a lifetime.

Diversify wisely. A broad mix of assets offers protection and opportunity across market cycles.

Whether discussing crypto, ETFs vs. mutual funds, or portfolio allocation strategies, Paul’s advice always comes back to one goal: helping investors achieve financial independence with confidence and peace of mind.
