Funnily enough, it is because I have an analytical mind that I actually think I over optimized on my spend. I, like many I know in this industry, have been playing the credit card reward game since 2012. I live a very minimalistic lifestyle

If you’re renting to young person or couple, there’s a better chance than not that they will voluntarily move out in a few years. And pro-construction legislation means the cap on rent will likely not mean much if you’re starting at a marke

Yep - existential crises (e.g. a lot of Silicon Valley right now)

Just a mistake then. Nowhere in the rest of the article does it say anything about her being an engineer.

Where does it say she’s an engineer? She’s not an engineer as far as I understand, she was a VC and in corporate development...the biz and strategy side.

Such a bad take. The actual "elite" in urban centers are the ones walking around with strollers. Have a kid in the big city is the ultimate flex. No one else has kids because they can barely afford to live there themselves, let

Speaking from experience, when I eat like crap I feel tired mid-day, can't sleep well, and can't focus. Part of what I was trying to get at is if I cared to make myself an ultra productive work machine, then eating healthy and exe

I'm more surprised when I come across very rich people (e.g. VCs, CEOs, etc.) who are obese. You have all the money in the world and somehow made it to the top without the self-control and determination to take care of your body (and i

I feel like AirBnB has largely escaped the public uproar that Uber/Lyft have experienced, perhaps because workers rights are more tangible/relatable than the second order effects of crowding out housing stock for full-time Airbnbs
