  Last week I came back from my first overseas trip. I was really nervous because I’ve never been away from my daily money management routine for so long, and Zach’s about as interested in it as he is particle physics or anything science really (who am I kidding?). I was afraid I’d come back…

  Investing used to be terrifying to me. There’s an entire industry built on investing. They even have an entire street of walls somewhere in New York that somehow helps investors (do they pray to it for divinations?). How could a poor little peon like me hope to chip away at all them big riches?…

  My friends, it’s happened. We have reached a milestone. WE HAVE A NET WORTH OF ZERO DOLLARS. Now, I realize that may be an odd thing to celebrate. No, it does not mean that we have zero dollars in our bank account. It just means that we’ve finally reached a point—for the first time…

  “Investing” is one of those last things I had to check off my grown-up list before I turned 30. Because everyone knows if you don’t finish your grown-up list by the time you turn 30, you’ll be forever doomed to wearing diapers, right? (Wait – was that just me?) I didn’t want to start…

  Once upon a time I lived in a castle in France. It was OK. Sure, the turrets were pretty high, but sometimes pigeons would roost on them and poop on your head. Luckily I had enough servants around to clean up the mess and feed me avocado toast and cherries one-by-one. I never had…
