I work for myself. That means no juicy bigco health insurance. But I’ve found another way — a Christian health share. Since 2018, I’ve been using a service called Medishare. Medishare is a collective of people that share each other’s medical bills. Health shares will usually exempt you from any…

I started investing in startups in April of 2021, like a lot of other angels. But looking around 3 years later, many of them seem to be gone. I found an interesting data set from Jason Saltzman at Live Data Technologies. It shows a huge slowdown in new angels. The…

I spent most of last week in Elizabethtown, Kentucky visiting my grandma. It’s a cute little town full of flowering trees — but you wouldn’t believe what it costs to live there! Killing some time in the Airbnb one night, I decided to pop onto Zillow. “These numbers can’t be…
