Money at 30: “Utopia for Realists” Book Review
Sometimes it seems that a personality goes from being nowhere on my radar to appearing everywhere I turn. One might assume this to be a case of the subconscious becoming conscious... but it’s more likely to be a symptom of a book promotion cycle. That’s the case with Dutch author Rutger Bregman, who I’ve seen mentioned across social media and podcasts as of late. While Bregman recently released a new...

Money at 30: "Passive Income, Aggressive Retirement" Book Review
As I may have mentioned in earlier columns, I've been making a point of doing more book reviews as of late. Yet, when I set out this goal, I didn't really have a reading list in mind.

Yet, when I was recently offered the chance to check out...

Money at 30: "The Velvet Rope Economy" Book Review
Is air travel getting worse or has it only gotten better? That depends on who you ask — and often how much money they have. For those forced to fly coach, it's not uncommon to hear about increasingly cramped seats or having to resort to airlines that won't even serve you a glass of water without a fee. Meanwhile there's now a popular crop of travel sites showing off lie-flat...

Money at 30: "Choose FI" Book Review
Every day, millions of adults wake up only to head to a job they despise in order to make just enough money to fund a life they likely fell into. And then there are those who wake up and do whatever they're passionate about because the money they worked for is now working for them. That's the most basic idea behind financial independence (FI) — but how does one even...
