| 0:00.0 | Kyle's question is up next. It says, how do you guys feel about copying target date |
| 0:13.7 | retirement funds to use as our own retirement plan? Following along with Vanguard or Fidelity |
| 0:20.7 | et cetera for your date so we can circumvent expense ratios? Or should we make our own |
| 0:27.8 | three fund? This is some creativity and I want to know what you guys think. I mean, I guess |
| 0:34.5 | you could. I guess you could start this one because you do such a good job of framing stuff, |
| 0:41.2 | but I'll let you because you have the closing points on it. But I think I think about we have |
| 0:45.7 | this client who we're like, man, you're at the station of life. You ought to hire a tax |
| 0:49.8 | preparer to make your life easier because you know, just be better if you take some of that off |
| 0:55.3 | your plate and focus. Then find out she was still doing her taxes, but then giving it to prepare |
| 1:01.2 | and then quizzing the CPA on how they prepared it. This is Kyle. This is the exact same thing. |

| 1:25.3 | really kind of wasteful. And that's what I'm thought of is what could that time that you're |
| 1:31.0 | allocating between trying to recreate because yes, it is true. You can go to Morningstar.com |
| 1:35.5 | you can go see what funds are making up the index target retirement fund. You can recreate it. |
| 1:41.6 | So then every year as the glide path takes you from super aggressive while you're in your 20s |
| 1:46.7 | all the way down to a pretty conservative portfolio by time you're in your 60s, I guess you could |
| 1:51.7 | every year go in there and see what percentage that it all changed in those five-year bands. |
| 1:57.6 | But why? Why would you do that? That's like you have a washing machine and a dryer and then |
| 2:04.3 | you're going and you're saying, you know what? Not using the dryer anymore. I'm going to go string |
| 2:09.2 | it up across the backyard. And I know some of you make I like the smell that my linen dry. |
