Retirement Planning, Drones, Crypto & Black Swans

ByGraham Mann

I hope you're having a great week! Here are some things I've been checking out and working on the last week:

Articles:

  • Retirement calculator - this is the coolest tool I've seen in a while, it will tell you when and where you can retire based on current spending, net worth, and income.
    Savable income - related, but a quick primer on how cost of living affects your ability to save and live a good life.
  • Guinn Partners State of the Drone Industry 2018 Report - one of the more in-depth reports I've seen on the drone industry in a while. The industry itself is in a cool spot - past the hype and getting to some widespread, useful applications.
  • Alternative cryptocurrency - Uber cofounder talks a bit about a new cryptocurrency he's thinking about, which would (in theory) solve many of the issues with current offerings.

Book Notes: The Black Swan - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Finally got my notes together for this one - one of the most impactful books I've ever read. Highly recommend this and the other books in the Incerto.

Have a great long weekend!
