My new course on financial independence and early retirement!

The course had to be roughly 40,000 words in length, and the whole had to be divided into ten smaller “chapters”. Why 40,000 words? Because 40,000 words are roughly five hours when read aloud. Essentially, my task was to encapsulate the most important facets of financial independence in ten half-hours (4000-word) lectures.

A lesson in economic violence

People of all races are now saying: “Enough is enough” and #BlackLivesMatter. If that's genuine and that sentiment holds, then yes, let's end police brutality and racial violence. But let's not forget that what sustains it all is economic violence. That must come crashing down too.

Great lessons from great men

Over the years, I've found that it's fun to read a different kind of money book in my spare time. I've discovered the joy of classic biographies and success manuals, especially those written by (or about) wealthy and/or successful men.
