“Nobody’ll ever change my mind about it.”
This podcast is supported by betterment.
First came the wheel, then came the steam engine, and then came automated investing.
Since the dawn of time, people have used technology to make their lives better.
And better is what betterment is all about.
While we may not be as famous.
As the wheel, we did pioneer a better way to invest, because betterment knows that being invested in better is pretty much the best investment you can make.
Betterment be invested.
Investing involves risk, performance not guaranteed.
Chapter five.
On a Sunday evening in 2015, with Christmas less than a week away, I log into facebook at home and notice I have an urgent seeming message from Tyler's mother, Maya.
FYI, she writes, Tyler will probably be in jail Monday.
There's a warrant out for him.
Theft in the first grand jury.
John's still haunting us.
I think he's giving up.
She tells me of Tyler with a frown emoji.
Then she writes, he won't last a day in prison.
I think he'll pull a john.
Hello?
Hi, Miss Hicks.
