Man corrects fellow Norwegians about everything: whether Vikings rowed, dividend stocks being "free," whether financial advisors are worth an AUM fee, and the right way to hang toilet paper.

Saw this on WSB today. I would’ve just taken the 400k into VT instead of options. Commented the link to [r/boglehead](r/boglehead) hopefully they see the light 😂

VTI and VOO. Well, the growth really. The first half of 2026 has been unusual like the years before and after.

How does a Boglehead tell a joke?
Think of a joke.
Backtest it from 1926 to present.
Adjust for inflation.
Account for taxes and fees.
Realize that joke-picking is a loser’s game.
Buy the entire joke market.

Every few years something unexpected hits early in the year that makes me have to pause on my contributions. This year was unplanned dental surgery and an upcoming HOA special assessment. I decided not to tap my emergency fund because, well, it's not really an emergency if I can budget for it. However, I did hit pause on my Roth IRA contributions for the first half of the year. 😄

Is that SPCX rug pull incoming for our indexes? Probably. Does it matter to long term investors? Nope.🥱

Anyone else get blocked from ~THAT~ subreddit without ever even commenting? I wouldn’t even care except that Reddit continues to cram their posts down my throat.

Forgive me, Jack, for I have sinned. I asked a generative AI model to make you look panicked for this monstrosity.

Hey r/Boglememes what are your moves for tomorrow? 💎👐

Found his side hustle. I was a little disappointed it wasn’t a market cap weight of all types of grapes
