We don’t invest in the stock market, we invest in real estate. But the people we respect who do invest in the stock market, they invest in index funds. This method of investing makes a lot of sense. Put your money away each month in low fee funds and never sell. Just let it accrue […]

What are you working for? We know it’s to pay your bills firstly. Once those are covered, what else? Working for ourselves can make you feel free from the shackles of an office, but often it means working harder and many more hours than a regular job. We ask why and what for? Also: eBay […]

We just landed after an entire month of traveling and working in Scandinavia and Europe. We topped it off by being a couple of scavenger executives and sort of accidentally getting upgraded on our flights home.
