How do you feel about getting older?

Are you worried about losing your energy, strength, and pleasure (yes that pleasure, but also the other pleasures of life and youth)? About inching closer to death every day?

In this episode, the humans discuss ‘How to Grow Old‘ by Marcus Tullius Cicero, a book about how exaggerated/mistaken those beliefs are and how great growing old can be, that is just as relevant today as when it was written in 44 BCE.

Do papers, clothes, and more constantly pile up like snow drifts throughout your home?

Have you tried tidying up before, only to relapse into messiness?

In this episode, the humans talk about the KonMari Method: a system for tidying up developed by organizing consultant and author Marie Kondo. The method promises that if you properly simplify and organize your home one time, you’ll never have to do it again in your life. In fact, none of Kondo’s thousands of clients have ever relapsed into messiness.

Alcohol is complicated. There are a ridiculous number of categories and tastes to figure out, but if you put a little bit of time and money in, you can start to appreciate the more subtle flavours and entertain friends with your worldly whiskey wisdom.

In this episode, the humans taste whiskey from five different countries (Canada, US, Ireland, Scotland, and Japan) to see how the flavours compare. Only mildly descending into a drunken stupor.

Please drink responsibly and with moderation.

Investing often seems like a complex and intimidating field full of finance-bros using 10 monitors to steal your life savings, but once you learn the fundamentals it’s pretty simple to make a plan and meet your long-term goals. You don’t need to check your accounts daily or try to time the market just right. In fact, you’ll probably be much better off if you don’t think about your investments very often.

This episode covers identifying your goals, what you need to do before you start investing, the fundamentals of the economy, determining your time horizon, and picking the right risk level for you and your needs.
