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 […]
This is pretty awesome. Check out this video which explains the last 10 years of the US economy in a lovely animated cartoon with visually appealing vintage graphics that came right out of a Papermarket store. It’s 30 minutes long, which is long for an online video but shorter than reading a boring-ass Economics textbook.
Check out this infographic from iMoney.sg. A lot of people tend to look back at how much their home prices have appreciated and brag, “Hey check it out, I made X dollars on my property!!” What they don’t take into account is the amount of fees, surcharges, and interest they’ve had to pay over the years –
I’m blogging this at 6.43am. The sky is still semi-dark, the fan is whirring, and the world hasn’t woken up yet – perfect conditions for work. So far, I’ve showered, gotten ready for the office, updated my LifeTest page, and I’m now working on this Results post. All before 7am. I conducted my third LifeTest
Happy Sunday! I’m pretty psyched because I’m featured in today’s edition of the Sunday Times, in an article about young investors. 🙂 First, a funny story about the article: I knew it was going to be published today, but I had absolutely no freakin’ idea how it was gonna turn out because I hadn’t seen
So last week, this article from the Onion went viral. The title says it all: Find the Thing You’re Most Passionate About, Then Do It On Nights and Weekends For the Rest of Your Life. Just find the thing you enjoy doing more than anything else, your one true passion, and do it for the
This post from Barry Ritholtz (The Big Picture) was too awesome not to share. He talks about why doing nothing is often the best way to invest: Don’t do something, anything, just for the sake of it. If you are going to do something, you better have a damned good reason for it. Doing something feels good. Doing something creates the illusion of
I’m a HUGE fan of Lonely Island. Came across this awesome music video titled YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, feat Adam Levine and Kendrick Lamar (who?). I love it because it makes fun of people who take risk a little too seriously (“Two words about furniture: KILLING MACHINES!!”). But while we scoff at the idea that
So last weekend, I met up with a friend who’s kind of a huge foodie, like she wouldn’t think twice about dropping 200 bucks for a meal at a restaurant. She’s really fussy about her food, which I can never understand because I pretty much eat anything. Except papayas, they’re gross. Anyways, this friend was
