We don’t write money articles for poor people.
In an October, 2021, Medium article, we discussed this, using the neighborhood where I rent my $1,342/month apartment, as illustration.
There’s an article trending on CNBC, written by a Harvard-trained economist, that further drives home the point.
We don’t write money articles…
In recent Medium articles, we have struck a balance between trashing mainstream personal finance and lauding a clear shift in our collective money mindset.
On one hand, lots of what we accept as status quo in the daily flow of money articles feels a bit — or quite a bit…

That’s because money writers, thinkers, and — way worse — gurus often present the same old, not always workable or prudent blanket prescriptions as advice beyond reproach. …
