Terminology

[johnbb]

I'm new at this, and I often come across terms I don't know on the discussion boards. Is there a place where there is a glossary of terms that are commonly used here? For example:

TIPS
ETF
FIRE
SWR
ROR

Duh

 

[yakers]

Don't know what Duh is or ROR. TIPS Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, ETF exchange traded funds, FIRE (the big one around here)Financial independence retire early, SWR safe withdrawal rate

 

[wabmester]

Don't know what Duh is or ROR.

ROR: Rate of return.

Duh: variant of D'oh!

More here.
