Someday, I’m gonna sit my 4-year old son on my lap and tell him, “Son, there comes a time in every boy’s life when he becomes a man. For me, that was in October 2015 when I bought my first house.” My son will look at me with pleading eyes and go, “No dad, not […]
If you ever visit Kandooma Island in the Maldives, bring your running shoes. Not because there are wild animals with sharp teeth (tourists at the buffet table don’t count), but because the running is excellent. The sun rises at 5.30am, so you get to have an early start before photoshoot-taking couples in flowery shirts invade
A big part of living a rich life is being able to spend money on the things we want. Personally, I love spending on travel – In fact, I save a sizeable amount every month so I can take at least one big trip a year.

So I spent the last week in Turkey on holiday. I was travelling with family, so we went on a guided tour. It was fun – I could switch off my brain, enjoy the sights and the meals, and leave the logistics to the tour guide. However, one downside of being on a guided tour:
“So, do you have the floor plan and the guidelines that I sent you last week?” The Interior Designer shakes her head. “Sorry, there’s something wrong with our email system.” I sigh. “Actually, I texted it to you too. It’s ok, I brought another copy along with me.” I pull out the floor plan and
