  • Beyond Romance: The Financial Realities of Asian Weddings

    There’s nothing that brings people together for such a sustained period of time like an asian wedding. The sense of duty, the sense of commitment and obligation, the desire and need to deliver the ultimate in performance and display. All those things can be found at an asian wedding — but at what cost? What are the hidden opportunity costs of putting in so much time, effort and money into an event that last just a few days but takes months to plan?


    The other side of this argument is what I present in this video on the financial realities of an asian wedding (and most muslim weddings).

  • We Can't Talk About Gold Until We Have This Conversation First

    Why is Gold so unpopular today despite being a cornerstone of civilisations for thousands of years?


    I have attempted to answer that question in this video today, because frankly I am dumbfounded by the absurdity of the irrational objections.


    It's not that I don't want to have a conversation about gold and silver, it's not that I cannot prove that precious metals and commodities are the answer to all the economic ills in society. It's just that that conversation is secondary to what I'm discussing here first. This conversation HAS to precede all other conversations about Gold and Silver. It just has to.


    Chapters:

    00:00 Intros

    00:47 My journey into Gold and Silver

    01:18 The challenege in having this conversation with others

    02:07 Racking my brain over the irrational objections

    02:54 Regurgitating or re-iterating what others have already said

    03:36 The proof is already out there

    04:35 The question is: Why the irrationality?

    04:44 Reason Number One: Stockholm Syndrome

    06:36 Reason Number Two: Popular Culture/Fashion

    10:42 In Conclusion

    11:57 The secondary conversation
