Having a math background and a curious, quantitative mind in general, I've always naturally tried to analyze and “optimize” everything – health, fitness, sleep, work, finance, investing, decisions, cooking, websites, you name it. I started doing that with investing and personal finance for myself in 2008, so I figured I'd create a blog to help others do the same. Part research, part ramblings. I hope you enjoy.
