  1. The Safest Investment in the Textbook

    A college professor once picked Walgreens as the safest commercial property you could own. Twenty years later, a lot of those corners are empty. What happened, why hedge funds followed the same path, and the question to ask about any investment with a great track record. Read the article:...

  2. The House I Didn't Buy

    In 2008 I walked through a $39,000 house and didn't buy it. It's worth three or four times that today. Buying when others are fearful isn't hard because it's scary. It's hard because you have to look wrong for years, and for most of us the trade we can actually make is simply not selling. Read…

  3. The Deals Didn't Disappear. The Math Got Harder.

    People say BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) is dead. It isn't. The math just got harder. The same rental deal at a 3.5% rate pays about $445 a month; at 7% it loses about $82. Here's why the deal still works, why it now takes a lot more work, and why the same thing is happening to most...

    Big swings make better stories, but most fortunes are built on a loop: small, repeatable, unglamorous progress.

  5. You Probably Need a Financial Advisor (Yes, This Is Self-Serving)

    Written by someone who has spent a career inside a family office, so take it with that grain of salt. An honest look at when you can do this yourself and when help is worth paying for: returns, a real thought partner, behavior coaching, experience, succession, and the one reason to hire an…

  6. Die With Zero, or Die With Enough?

    Die With Zero makes a strong case for spending on experiences while you're healthy enough to enjoy them. But spending down to zero is a bet on a future no one can price. A look at what the book gets right, where the extreme misses most of us, and why money that quietly stands guard over the next...

  7. The Guy Weaving Through Traffic

    Weaving through a traffic jam burns energy, adds risk, and barely gets you ahead. The same human habit shows up in investing, and the fix is the same: pick a lane and stay in it. Read the article: dollar-llama.com/blog/the-guy-weaving-through-traffic.html Narrated with an AI version of the…
