After three consecutive years of double-digit returns in the S&P 500 since 2023, I decided to cut cable. The reason was simple: I’m conditioning myself to prepare for hard times by not only reducing expenses, but also freeing up time to focus. Yeah, I know. Here in America, when you make a lot of money, you’re supposed to spend more money and YOLO. But I didn’t get to FIRE by splurging my money away. I got there by saving and investing until it hurt for 13 consecutive years after college. The pain makes me feel more alive! Besides, when times…

In a culture that turns to time as a measure of productivity and forward momentum, the Wheel of the Year offers a return to cyclical living rather than the more familiar linear approach. 🔄 Lately, I’ve taken to using the Wheel’s teachings with my children. We turn to the different celebrations to inspire crafts and activities that bring us closer to the shifts happening all around us. For example, as we begin planning our garden, we use the Wheel as inspiration for what we plant and how we tend it. As we witness each season’s changes, we turn to the…

They bought their 19th-century house “in rough shape,” in 2022, and have spent the last four years fixing it up and filling it with knickknacks collected over their 15 years of marriage. “I remember watching Love Actually as a young married couple — a movie I don’t recommend,” she laughs. “But one thing that stuck with me was that one of the character’s houses had art up and down every single wall. I remember thinking how cool that was.” Take a…

After 19 years, I finally went back to Ko Lipe, the Thai island I spent close to a month on in 2006. Back then, it was one of those super off-the-beaten-path destinations that few but the most intrepid travelers visited, where electricity only ran a few hours a day, basic bungalows right on the beach cost something like $2 USD, and there really was a last boat for the season. There was much to do here but that was the point. You hung out on the beach, read a book, went snorkeling, went back to the beach, drank beers at…

Cheese shows up in Mexican cooking in all kinds of ways: stuffed into masa pockets, melted into enchiladas, scattered over beans, and folded into croquetas, just to name a few. Stretchy queso Oaxaca brings a gooey richness to tetelas and quesadillas, and salty aged cotija adds a pop of funky umami to esquites and refried beans. Covering snacks, mains, and sweets, this collection of Mexican recipes highlights the many ways the country uses their various cheeses.  Photo: Murray Hall • Food Styling: Ben WeinerEsquites take sweet corn off the cob and transform it into a format that’s spoonable, easy to…

Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is working to persuade Americans to delay retirement by at least one year. His pitch centers on the idea that working longer reflects strength, independence and continued purpose in later life. The question is whether Americans;  especially those facing financial or physical constraints will embrace that message.The economic argument behind working longerDepositphotos Photo by PixelsHunterOz argues that even a modest delay in retirement could have a massive economic payoff.
