This jobs market truly is one for the ages. I don’t know if people really get that. So we got the jobs data last week, and I don’t think people really get how important this is. Because when you have a jobs market that’s this tight for this long – when everyone who wants a […]
Why a rate hike recession is not happening
Rate hikes are so not happening. Not like this anyway… Right now, markets are still pricing in a riduclous outlook for interest rates. Normally, money market pricing gives you a pretty good indication what’s going to happen to interest rates. But right now, they’re saying rate hikes are going to do this: That is, rise […]
T-Bomb: who is telling your story?
Truth Bomb Tuesday: The stories we tell matter, but who is telling yours? I’ve written a few times about the power that comes with being the author of your own story. And I don’t just mean that you get to decide the way you live and the things you get to do. I mean being […]

Financial literacy in schools. To me it’s ridiculous that a kid can graduate knowing how to calculate the hypotenuse […]
