3 Ways To Get A Happier Vacation

Ok, people. Here’s definitive evidence that I am a hardcore nerd: I just paid a ridiculous amount of money to spend FIVE DAYS at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. Not only that, I’m also budgeting (yes, budgeting) for a $47 INTERACTIVE WAND that will let me perform MAGIC around the theme park. This October, watch me run […]

Everything That Could Go Wrong With Index Investing

Don’t tell anyone because I’m embarrassed, but I used to be a HUGE Eminem fan. I’d come home from school, use my comb as a makeshift mic, and lip-sync to all the songs on The Marshall Mathers LP on full blast. (Since I’m such a huge nerd, that was about the most gangsta that I’ve ever been

What Frustrates You About Learning Investing?

My Accounting 101 professor back in college had ginormous biceps. He’d flex them menacingly as he paced Huntsman Hall, and the fear of getting our heads crushed between his guns stopped my buddies and I from falling asleep during lectures.

I used to hate opening my wallet. Every time I pulled out my wallet to pay for something, I’d feel this mild wave of stress wash over me. The source of my stress was the perennial question that stumps us all: Now, which credit card should I use? You might think that this is totally weird,
