When Can I Retire?
This week, I accidentally found out that Mario is 41 years old. I guess that’s what the decades of the running, the jumping, and the smashing the bricks with the head does to someone – it ages them. This type of behavior naturally takes its toll… Who’s going to tell him it’s spinal-fusion time? Arguably…

“How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation”
Shalom again! Since we last spoke, there’s only been two substantial updates to my life. One is that I finally watched Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis (I know, late to the party) and I can’t stop thinking about how the film described the latter half of his life as being like a bird with no place to…

How Do Rising Interest Rates Affect You?
Shalom, my darlings. Since we last spoke, I’ve been extremely preoccupied changing my entire personality after spending exactly one month in Europe.

Crypto Lingo: The Complete Beginners Guide
There are certain things in this life that I have accepted I will never understand. First things first, does anyone honestly know what “cookies” are? (The computer kind, obviously, the bakery version is self-explanatory – and far superior). For the last 10 years of my existence, whether browsing a suspect or credible website, I have…

The $BECKY Portfolio: It Pays to be Basic.
As a white woman it is basically sacrilegious to have not yet talked to you about Becky. Growing up in Westside Vancouver, I was inundated with Becky moms and young, bouncy Becky’s to-be. Before I go into it, I must clarify that a Becky should not be confused with a Karen. They are similar in…

How to Buy Cryptocurrency. (In Canada). (Eh).
There are two words in the English language that you will never hear me say consecutively: can’t complain. Can’t complain! Who on this earth literally can’t complain?! What possible concoction of drugs are you taking to live in such a euphoric bliss that you can’t complain? Follow up question, can I have some? (I’ll pay). In this…
