Here’s their formula to living — and living well — at 73 and 86 years old
It’s quite comical, actually.
The two people in the world who probably know (and care) the least about the stock market bucking the trend of old ass people living in relative squalor because they didn’t effectively position themselves for retirement.
As I look to bolster my case for banishing the…
Hopefully my experience can save you time and stress
I decided to count the other day.
Since I started my freelance writing career roughly ten years ago, I have published more than 1,500 articles. Probably quite few more, but we’ll settle on 1,500 for the sake of argument and efficiency. …
Somebody’s going to have a problem with their idea
I’m as sick of the inane and often condescending stop spending $5 a day on a latte articles as you probably are.
So much so that I made a silent pledge to never write on the subject again.
Then this happened —

The other day I almost jumped the reaction gun on an article I was reading.

This is a sensible assumption to make. However, it isn’t always true.
Many of us who advocate and adhere to a low cost of living do so not to retire early, but so we can spend money…
Saying it’s simple is actually quite offensive
Driving a few months ago, my daughter and I heard something curious on the radio.

The disc jockey referenced how some people experienced mental health struggles during the pandemic. True, and fair enough.

4 reasons why I’m only mildly concerned about my income tanking
Leaving Detroit a few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I experienced what I reckon qualifies as some pretty bad turbulence.
With storms in the area at takeoff, the plane got tossed around quite a bit.

I’m not ashamed to admit I held on tight to my girlfriend’s…
