Every morning, I walk through an underpass on the way to work. On some days, I encounter a busker with the most amazing voice. Seriously. He’s not like one of those hipster bands who’re half asleep in the middle of their acoustic pop cover. This guy sings at the top of his lungs and strums […]
So check this out – someone recently wrote in to ask: “Work takes up 14 hours of my life every day. By the end of it, I’m too tired to sit down and start doing research. What should I do?” Goooood question. We all KNOW that investing is important. We know that once you learn
Soooo guess how I spent a greater part of our Labour Day public holiday? At a Starbucks. Banging away for 12 hours at computer code. No, I wasn’t trying to hack into some high-security government site, and it’s not for work. It’s for a one-month Coursera course on R Programming, part of a larger Data Science specialisation

My favourite characters in Modern Family are Phil and Claire Dunphy. Phil’s a nerdy real estate agent with a penchant for magic and lame puns. He’s married to Claire, an ambitious OCD career mom with daddy issues. Every Valentine’s Day, they act out a fantasy where they role-play their fantasies of “Juliana and Clive Bixby”. They pretend that they’re strangers
So it’s been an EXHAUSTING month: The launch of my new index investing course, getting into the flow of my new job posting, and the honour of speaking at not one, but TWO events this month: The inaugural Personal Financial Investment Seminar The third instalment of INVEST Carnival At first, I wanted to write a blow-by-blow account,
2 weeks ago, my girlfriend and I had a MASSIVE fast food craving. And by massive, I mean, “Wow I wanna eat 6 McNuggets, a Zinger and two large packs of curly fries” kind of a craving. (Yes, we are totally role models for living healthily). However, we wanted something more than just a plain ol’
