Let’s be real: handing your heirs a lump sum of cash is like giving…

We live in an era where touchless is the buzzword of the day. Tap-to-pay, motion-sensor doors, voice-activated elevators—all promising a cleaner, more hygienic experience.

It’s not patriotism. It’s delusion. 1. America Doesn’t Have the Stuff Want an all-American smartphone? Too bad. The…

Oh, dear reader, you’ve stumbled upon my little secret. You’ve read my posts, nodded along (or angrily fist-shaken at your screen), and walked away thinking, Ah yes, this is who they are—this is what they believe. Spoiler alert: You have no idea.
