I’m currently starting a business and my wife wants a say in each of the purchases I make. I find that having to justify each investment takes a lot of time and energy, especially since she is quite frugal. How do you and your wife handle your business purchases?
So Stef, there is a saying" they do not care that you know, until they know that you care" When a person uses reason, logic and empiricism, and finds themself trying to relate to people whose feelings are facts, and are not willing to talk through dissenting points of view. What are your options, just cut those people out of your life, or is there another way to relate to these people?
I’ve fallen in love with a Chinese girl, whose father is in the CCP. but we share the same values, I’m English, what thoughts do you have?
Your speech about society investing in the things that they care about really got through to me and I canceled a lot of useless subscriptions and plan to allocate that money your way! Was a long time iTunes podcast listener.

Hi Stef, I have a question, I am currently in an engineering grad program that will take the next 2 years to complete after one year invested (I get paid to attend), and have been feeling very demotivated. I haven't been very productive in my coursework and research, and I'm not sure if I should just drop out and get a job or white-knuckle it. Do you have any recommendations or thoughts? Also, I have a wife I married a year ago.
