A Young Person's Guide to Making Life Decisions.
This piece lays out a framework for making decisions over the course of your lifetime.
In essence, life is three dimensional. While TIME constantly moves forward, we actually move through SPACE along the way. Some principles that come along with that:
First principle — everything costs money.
Second principle — your lifetime budget constraint.
A few other principles…
→ Get comfortable with big numbers.
→ Get comfortable with complex answers.
→ Get comfortable with silence and not knowing.
Hey Boss, Have We Tried Boiling the Frog Instead?
This piece goes deep into the question that is on everyone’s mind:
→ When do tariffs make sense?
This leads me to explain why we have been providing military protection to allies at below-market prices.
We also talk about markets, from economic uncertainty to high-yield bond spreads to what moving “from market tremor to financial earthquake” might look like.
