Hi Mark, you have a great sense of humor. I cracked up reading, “Apparently the Vinted business model includes free delivery, and it turns out I am the free delivery.” Hey, happy wife, happy life!
Excellent article, Adam. Just the other day, I was talking with friends and family about being resilient in life overall. In my view, there are three key components: financial resilience, physical resilience, and mental resilience. The best time to build each of these is when life is relatively calm, because we know challenges can arise at any time. Your perspective on resilient investing is a huge part of building financial resilience. Thank you for sharing your insights.
Thanks for sharing your memory of your mom, DJ. Both you and I are blessed to have strong and wonderful moms. I am very lucky that my mom (and dad) is still around. She lives ~2.5 hours aways, so I am visiting her just about every month. Two financial lessons I learn from her: 1) be frugual 2) be generous. My mom never got the chance to finish elementry school when growing up in rural China in 1950s, while she encouraged and allowed me to go to college. Without her, I will not be where I am with a wonderful family of my own. Thank you, mom!

Thanks for sharing this story, Mark. Financial security is as primary as physical security. I admire what you did to help your mom feel safe.
