RETR Episode 8 - What the hell was I thinking

Thanks to all the friends liking & subscribing. I appreciate it. This episode I talk about some of the goofy things I thought were good investments when I was a kid and what I learned from it. Furthermore, how I approach teaching my kids about these off the rail investments.

RETR Episode 7 - Health as an Investment

Shout out to Zack. Thanks for making my day Sunday and complimenting my episode. I appreciate you. This episode dives into health as an investment. Why don't people look at health as an investment?

Episode 6 - Prom Season

It is prom season and the viral lavish videos had me thinking on this. I applied some economic numbers to this and it surely didn't make sense. However, I'm not against these events. Enjoy folks!
