This is the Rational Reminder Podcast, a weekly reality check on sensible investing and financial decision-making from Three Canadians. We are hosted by me, Benjamin Felix, Chief Investment Officer, Dan Bordlotti, portfolio manager, and Ben Wilson, head of M<unk>A at PWL Capital. Good to be back. Welcome to episode 387. I do want to say up at the top here that we are recording this on November 17th, which is about a month before the episode is actually set to release.
We usually record a week in advance, so hopefully the world hasn't changed too much over the month since we recorded. But today we're going to discuss the main lessons from the 2025 edition of The Wealthy Barber, which is a classic Canadian personal finance book that Dan, I know you and I have both read, the 2025 edition. Ben, have you read it yet? I haven't read it yet. But I look forward to reading it soon.
Yes, good book. Many Canadians have read the original and Dave Chilton, the author, has gone through and fully updated the book, including lots of references to TikTok and Chat GPT. Kinda funny. And the content, of course. And we had Dave on in episode 370 of this podcast where we talked about the original book.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (86 minutes, 17,486 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 5 episodes for $3.49, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
