When I travel, I have the opportunity to sit in airports and train stations and look at parents with their children. It’s probably the most unfair setting to make any kind of judgments or come to any kind of conclusions. Children are, for the most part, not good travelers. The environment is unfamiliar. Strangers abound. … More The Man From UNCLE
Enjoy this interview with Tom Miler as we discuss protecting your wealth during uncertain times. (Polish subtitles.)
One of the members of our tribe, JT, asked about the all-black wardrobe after my post on Old Money and Inflation. Even though I’ve discussed the all-black or mostly black wardrobe in previous posts (living in Paris, it was inevitable), I thought that the question warranted another post. My thinking is this: if you can … More Black in the Closet
Thanks to David, our valued foreign correspondent and long time Member of the Tribe, we have the following article on the intersection of class and diet. I can relate to the author’s sentiments for several reasons: I opt for a plant-based diet, as he does; I do view much of the world and its behaviors … More A Divide in Diet

So I spent about a week and a half doing interviews, speaking with university students, and shooting videos to promote the release.

I think technology is an accelerator, especially as it relates to the internet: it … More At Odds With Tradition and Change
Greetings, Tribe. I hope the C&C Challenge is going well. The comments have been absolutely hysterically funny, making me think that abstaining from Complaining and Criticizing has been just as daunting a task for others as it has been for me. Good. Misery loves company. Seriously, it’s been a huge benefit to me to adopt … More Does The Boarding School Experience Breed Minimalists?
My apologies for the brief absence. Absolute madness reigns supreme here, but I cannot complain. Which brings me to the point of this post. I’m issuing a challenge to my dear readers, and it is this: for the next 24 hours, make your best attempt not to complain about anything, and not to criticize anyone. … More The Old Money C&C Challenge
Like many people, I knew everything when I was young. And I was very certain of everything. And I was quick to share my certainty, and often loud and discourteous about it. People who were more intelligent than me attempted to gently suggest and kindly query, with questions that might encourage circumspection and cast doubt … More The Slow Process of Wisdom
