The High Probability of Low Probability Events
As many of you know, I keep a pocket notebook where I jot down ideas and things I need to do and things I hear and things I read and basically just anything I want to remember for the future. I do this throughout the day whenever something comes up, and then at the end of the day, I go through the notebook, doing something with each item (adding a new item to my to do list, adding a new item to my calendar, and so on).
Every once in a while, I come across something in my notebook that I simply don’t understand or know where it came from. Usually, it’s some strange idea I had that I didn’t record well enough, or something I overheard that I didn’t source.
This happened to me a few weeks ago, and the phrase I wrote down has stuck in my head.

“How much house can I afford?”
“How much house can I afford?” Answering this question correctly is one of the keys to building a happy, wealthy life. Unfortunately, there’s a vast housing industry in the U.S. that’s geared toward providing the wrong answer.
You see, housing is by far the largest expense in most people’s budgets. According to the U.S. government’s 2016 Consumer Expenditure Survey, the average American family spends $1573.83 on housing and related expenses every month. That’s more than they spend on food, clothing, healthcare, and entertainment put together!
Nine Ways to Protect Your Kids From Identity Theft
More than one million children were the victims of identity theft in 2017, according to a new study from Javelin Strategy & Research. Two-thirds were under age 8. These crimes led to losses of $2.6 billion – some of which came from the pockets of the victims’ families.
Why would identity thieves go after kids? It’s not like they have credit histories, right?
That’s exactly the point. The blank-slate status of a child lets a thief apply for credit cards, take out loans (including mortgages), open utility accounts, and commit fraud on tax, employment, health, and government forms.

How to Reduce the Urge to Eat Out
Jennifer writes in with a bit of a twist on a topic I’ve addressed in the past:
How did you and Sarah break out of the routine of eating out all the time? You mentioned that the two of you used to eat out several times a week and now eat out once a month or less. How did you do it? It always feels like it’s just way easier to eat out.
