It has exploded in popularity in the last two years and now has more than $2.5B under management. Why? Because you can get services previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on the dollar for them, and it's all through smarter software instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams.

If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you can. Well worth a few minutes to explore: wealthfront.com/tim This podcast is also brought to you by Born Fitness Coaching.
