🗞️ From the archive
The Rebalancing Episode
Why selling your winners feels like betraying a friend, our Iceland budget post-mortem (over by 8%, worth every krona), and the kids' first index fund.
Dividends & Dragons
Q1 dividend season recap, how we plan trips around shoulder season, and 40 hours into the new Zelda — a cost-per-joy analysis.
The $850 Plumbing Lesson
Real talk about rental property "passive" income, the emergency fund doing its job, and why we still ordered the fancy ramen in Tokyo.
Coast FIRE & Kids' Cleats
Running our coast FIRE numbers, the true cost of youth soccer (send help), and a board game that accidentally taught compound interest.
What's inside every issue
- The Numbers — net worth and income update, no sugarcoating.
- The Miles — where we traveled, what it cost, what we'd do differently.
- The Fun — games, books, and family shenanigans of the month.
- One Ember — a single idea worth carrying into next month.
House rules
No affiliate spam, no "one weird trick," no crypto moonshots. Just one honest letter a month from a guy figuring it out in public. If an issue isn't worth your five minutes, I don't send it.
