OWN THE WATCH
The Inner Circle
Good morning {{first_name|Reader}}.
Three things happened in the Roth household this month that I have not told anyone.
The first is that the watch I bought as a placeholder before my 226570 has quietly become the best performing asset in the entire collection. Not the Rolex I spent 24 years waiting for. The one I bought to fill the gap. It has gained 74.7 percent in 16 months and I did not see it coming.
The second is that we opened investment accounts in Wealthfront for each of our three kids this month. Not 529s. Something different. The reasoning behind that choice is the part worth reading.
The third is a named savings goal I created this month that does not exist anywhere else in our public financial picture. It is specific, it has a target, and it changes how I think about a purchase I have been considering for a while.
All three are in this issue. The Watch Portfolio breakdown, the net worth update, and the full story behind each move.
Everything below is for Inner Circle members.
