In <a href=”https://markbadeau.com/2018/06/27/we-all-have-3-currencies-that-we-trade-every-day-in/”>a previous post</a>, I touched upon time – how we compound it, how we save it, how we spend it – I did not get into how you transform it.  That’s for another post perhaps.   This post is all about how I currently manage mine.   I was recently on the phone […]
