Do you prefer growth or stability? Pick one. For a long time, REITs made sense for me. They were simple and gave me a hand in real estate since I haven’t wanted to own any yet. They were predictable. Boring in a good way. Income-focused (if…
Obligations and scheduling directly affect your workout schedule, so double workout days this week to ensure I get all the sessions in. And while we’re at it, why not experiment with efficiency, not because more is better, though. Historically, double workouts have been an most…
How not being materialistic quietly accelerates wealth I don’t do garage sales. Not because I’m above them. Not because I think they’re pointless. But because I don’t have anything to sell. No closets full of regret purchases. No bins of “might need this later.” No…
I’m always interviewing older folks, asking what their secrets are to longevity. There’s a specific kind of person you notice as you get older. They’re not loud about health or extreme. They’re not chasing whatever is trending. But their body works. They move easily. They…
