How I Learned to Budget as a Teenager

  July 10

When I was 16 years old, I went away to a boarding school. It wasn’t what you’d typically think of when you hear the words “boarding school.” My parents didn’t send me away for bad behavior or because they didn’t want me in the house.

Why My 1 Year Olds Have a Higher Net Worth Than I Do

  May 18

It’s crazy to say, but my one year old twins have a higher net worth than I do.
