What would you do if you were told you might have just 12 months to live? For me, this isn't a theoretical question. humbledollar.com/2024/06/the-c-…

Want to see how “peaceful” protests are @penn? Watch as the campers harass a student simply walking on his own campus. Threats and flashing strobe lights were not included in the Penn Welcome Pamphlet. The bravery of this student should be applauded.

Truly amazing! Columbia decided to hold its students accountable to the laws of the school. They are seeing the consequences of their actions. Something these kids were most likely never taught. Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law. I am sure you would…

Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force. NYPD had promised the city they wouldn’t deploy SRG to protests. So why are these counterterror units here?

Do you have the right financial priorities? @HumbleDollar's @Nuke_Ken recalls a colleague who saved money by eating food past its expiration date—but failed to fund his 401(k) and get the employer match. humbledollar.com/2024/04/frugal…


My grandfather lived through World War I, the Great Influenza, the Great Depression, and World War II. It was an ordinary life for his time.

Ken Cutler never knew his grandfather Emil. But thanks to a trove of family letters, @Nuke_Ken 's been able to tell Emil's story, including his career and family struggles. humbledollar.com/2024/04/an-ord…



Could today’s ‘Millionaire Next Door’ actually have more buying power than the billionaires of yesteryear? What are the implications?

"We enjoy amazing material advantages simply by virtue of being alive at this time in history," notes @Nuke_Ken "We have many phenomenal options not available to the richest man in the U.S. a century ago." humbledollar.com/2024/04/billio…



I reveal some odd things about my financial habits in this piece.

"I prefer to hold an even number of funds," says @Nuke_Ken "My 401(k) has eight funds. At one time, it had six. It has had as many as 10. Once, it briefly had seven, but that made me uncomfortable." humbledollar.com/2024/03/nothin…
