Seven years ago, I started my firm to address a specific need: helping millennials. I had the idea by just looking around me. Following the Great Recession, there were smart, hard-working young professionals saddled in student loan debt struggling to start their adult lives in a beaten down economy. I believed I could make an[…]
Until last weekend, I had never been to the Hamptons. Even though I’m from Boca Raton, I’m now pretty much a Jersey Shore guy who, as they say, pumps fists not gas. But through the power of the internet and thoughtfulness of a friend, Heather and I found ourselves in Southampton attending Uncharted 2023, a[…]
One of the most valuable things individuals can do to improve their finances is to know where their money is going. Most people can rattle off their big expenses like housing, transit, health insurance and daycare, but when it comes to intimately knowing your numbers, we usually have no idea what we’re spending our money[…]
I played a lot of sports growing up. Little league baseball, basketball and soccer to be exact. I wasn’t very talented at any of them so, by the time I had reached middle school, video games replaced sports. Why play basketball outside when you can play NBA Jam in air conditioning.

My mom would get so concerned that she’d write a note to my homeroom teacher asking if it would be okay for me sit outside the classroom during the morning announcements and eat something she hid in my[…]
I can’t think of a more dynamic time in one’s life than where Millennials find themselves right now. Our twenties and thirties are loaded with critical decisions at almost every turn. From launching careers and finding purpose in life, to buying homes and starting families, there’s no other time quite like it. I’d argue it’s[…]
I’ve lost track of how many different iPhones I’ve owned in my life. I’m a ride or die Apple nerd so you know I scooped up the new iPhone 11 Pro Max post haste. While the new camera is absolutely bonkers, I’m not quite sure what it offers above and beyond what my previous iPhone[…]
Last December, I wrote “When Coffee is Life” to explain why I am obsessed with my favorite drink. And in 2019, I’ve noticed the caffeine conversation growing on a national scale. Almost everywhere I’d turn, *coffee.* Someone left a Starbucks cup on the set of Game of Thrones? Wild. Luckin, the Starbucks of China, went[…]
