What a start to the new year this has been, and it’s only fricking February! While the US news has been bombarded with so much crazy crap that I can’t even keep up with it anymore, the news in Canada has been dominated by one topic: The threat of a US-Canada trade war. Trump will impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for no good reason.

The Japanese Nikkei 225 index tanked more than 12% on Monday, marking its worst performance since 1987. The S&P 500 sank more than 3% and shed $1.3 trillion in value, notching its worst day since the 2022 bear market. The Dow lost 1,000 points that same day, and the Nasdaq Composite ventured further into correction territory. All three major i...| Millennial Revolution
We love doing reader cases on this blog, as that’s kind of our way of giving back to the FIRE community that has been so kind to us over the years. Most of the time, we don’t really have any idea whether our analysis has any actual impact. This isn’t one of those times. Hi Kristy and Bryce, It’s been a little more than 5 years since my husband wrote in with our story that you took on as a case study. I wanted to give you a happy update. I mean, who doesn’t like to hear “Hey, I...| Millennial Revolution
