Well, as a few of your have e-mailed me to discuss, I’ve been on a bit of a break from blogging about personal finance. I’ve had the extreme privilege of working on a project that to be frank, I became a bit obsessed with. Hopefully I can share some of my experiences with you all in the future!

Since I’m back full-time, I wanted to share two articles that I found to be very interesting - I hope you do too!
