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’
Hellooooooo I’m back! Sorry for being away for so long (my previous post explains why), but I’m back and I’m so happy to see you. Gimme a hug! (Okay Lionel, you need to calm down.) We’ve got a lot to catch up on, but since it’s the New Year, let’s talk about how to kick

I drank delicious butterbeer, and bought one of those ridiculously-expensive interactive wands for US$50: The REAL magic, however, happened after I came back from vacation and
Quick question: How many hours of sleep did you get last night? 6 hours? 7? 4.5? Some people are secretly proud that they don’t get much sleep, and they wear their sleep deprivation like a badge of honour: “I’m damn shag today because I had soooooo little sleep last nigh…..zzzzzzz.” But when you don’t get enough
(Pre-post note: A bunch of you were psyched about using Lift after last week’s post, so I decided to do a series of posts on apps that I’ve found useful.) Sooooo – let’s talk about to-do lists. What’s the difference between a good to-do list and a crappy one? Here’s my definition: A CRAPPY to-do list
So get this: There’s actually an emotion that can help you resist the temptation of spending money. I recently read an article on how having a little bit of GRATITUDE can help us to spend less. The findings came from a study where a bunch of people were asked whether they’d like $54 today, or $80
