That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where investing stopped feeling new.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about train. The Buenos Aires example makes it feel concrete. The hidden expense is usually time.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the library.
