People who read this blog and know me in real life are sometimes surprised by my choice of possessions. On one hand, I can be seen frugally squeezing life out of a 6-year-old smartphone, sharing a single used vehicle with my wife, and typing this blog post from a secondhand laptop. But when it comes to frivolous hobby items, I often opt for the finest — snapping photos with a $6,000 camera* through a $2,000 […]
Gaining clarity in both personal and financial health is about understanding what truly matters and aligning actions with core values. It involves self-reflection, cutting through distractions, and making intentional choices that support long-term well-being. In personal life, clarity means recognizing meaningful relationships, setting boundaries, and prioritizing growth over fleeting connections. Financially, it requires assessing needs versus wants, managing resources wisely, and building a sustainable future rather than chasing short-term gratification. Clarity empowers better decision-making, reducing […]

Sweet mini bell peppers are stuffed with a tangy cheese mixture. Baked and broiled, the peppers are tender with a gooey center. Finished with a drizzle of balsamic and fresh basil, this low-carb snack or appetizer is sweet, refreshing, and savory all at once! What can I expect? This recipe has the creamy consistency and bold, tangy flavor you expect with roasted goat cheese dip. However, instead of being served with tortilla chips or crostini, it’s stuffed into peppers. As a result, you get a low-carb snack or appetizer full of flavor and nutrients. All you have to do is hollow out the peppers, add the goat cheese mixture, and bake! The oven does all the hard work, delivering a handheld option all your guests will love in just 20 minutes. These stuffed peppers are so tasty you won’t even miss the carbs! Are Roasted Goat Cheese Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers Healthy? Let’s take a look at the main ingredients: Mini bell peppers Goat cheese Asiago cheese Red onion Mini bell peppers and red onion are natural, nutritious food sources. Use them to add color, nutrients, and flavor to a variety of recipes. But what about goat cheese and asiago cheese? Is dairy healthy? Here’s what we know. Dairy is full of vitamins, minerals, protein, and natural fat energy. But if everyone consumed dairy all of the time, dairy farming would become abusive and unsustainable… Let’s be mindful of our dairy intake. Buy dairy that comes from pasture-raised cows and try to eat less. Sugar is what makes food unhealthy. It’s common to dig into roasted goat cheese dip with a full bag of tortilla chips. But tortilla chips are made from white flour (which is practically sugar). In only one serving of chips (and who stops at one serving of tortilla chips), you’re already up to 14g of sugar. Next, you’re looking at heartburn with an energy crash. (And you’ll be scouring the pantry for your next sugar snack within the hour.) Swap the flour tortilla chips with bell peppers, and this recipe becomes nourishment. The ingredients provide vitamins, minerals, protein, and quality, whole-food energy. Enjoy these roasted goat cheese stuffed mini bell peppers knowing they support your well-being. Learn more
The stock market outlook remains in a downtrend, though the indicators improved throughout last week.
This decade of life has revolved around coming to terms with betrayals of the body. Following the first year of the pandemic, I sold my both my beloved surf kayak as well as my stashed in bushes on the beach workout kayak because the lifting and loading was taking a toll on my back. In comparison to many people I care about, I’ve had it relatively easy. Two colleagues are facing serious cancer diagnoses. Another […]
Asset management A victim of non-stationarity of data There is a dilemma. About twenty-five years ago, about a year after the collapse of the Dot Com bubble, Warren Buffett wrote an article about the stock market in which he said that, in spite of certain limitations, the market value of all publicly traded securities as a percentage of GNP is “probably the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment.” (Emphasis added) […]
The status of the Social Security and Medicare trusts is well known. I’m not going to rehash it here. Unfortunately, the amount of misinformation and false information about SS on social media is incredible and scary. No serious effort at necessary reform has occurred since 1983 and certainly not now which is sad given fixing SS is not that hard or necessarily that painful. One key question is how, if at all, should changes be […]
