Investing is not nearly as difficult as it looks. Successful investing involves doing a few things right and avoiding serious mistakes.

About Bogleheads®

We are a community of followers who believe in the teachings of John Bogle, the founder of the Vanguard Group. We follow his simple investing philosophies:

Invest Early & Often

Use Index funds

Keep Costs Low

Never Time the Market

Stay the Course

Minimize Taxes

Take the mystery out of investing. You can do it.

We won’t sell you anything or ask for you to sign up for anything. We are a community of volunteers who enjoy helping others to learn about investing and finance. You don’t need an MBA in Finance to plan for your future.

Bogleheads® are dedicated to helping people begin or improve their investing by applying our investing principles.

3-Fund Portfolio

Your investment portfolio does not need to be complicated with multiple funds. Keep it simple.

Take Care Not to Live Beyond Your Needs

Saving for the future takes pre-planning and wise spending.

Have a Plan

Stick to your plan regardless of market conditions.

Ask Questions

There's plenty of resources on the Bogleheads® website.

SATURDAY, October 24, 2026 MEET-UP

Something to think about ...

Even if these topics are not relevant to you at this time, please consider attending anyway. You may learn something you could relay to others, OR you may have some insight that could help others!

TOPIC ONE:

Target Date Funds

Good, Bad or a So-So Idea ?

What is a target date fund strategy? per Schwab: You pick a fund with a target year close to your expected retirement date, and the fund shifts from a growth-focused stock strategy to a conservative bond-heavy approach as you age.

TOPIC TWO:

Open Forum

NEW!

Overtime Breakout Sessions!

It seems that there are always one or two topics from the Open Forum that interest several people.
We will keep the room open for an extra 30 minutes and divide into breakout groups for further open discussion.
We will still have our lunch spot - you can go right after the meeting or after your chosen breakout session.

Join us as we discuss interesting topics and also explain a bit about the Bogleheads® investing philosophy!

Please note: We do NOT give out financial advice. We are educational in nature and affiliated with the John C. Bogle Center for Financial Literacy.
