Welcome to Capital Revelations, our platform for education and commentary regarding the issues we are passionate about.
We expect to write a short piece whenever inspiration prompts us to do so, probably once or twice a month. Expect the topics to mirror the prominent topics of our website, but through the lens of the three primary forms of capital - human (intellectual and social), physical, and financial.

And of course, we welcome any comments or feedback you might have. Enjoy!

And yet, it’s a shockingly common...
I’ve written about the deleterious effects the Fed’s interest-rate setting policy is having on savers. Of course, as a saver, I have personal experience with the ramifications. But this weekend, my experience is about to get a whole lot more personal. About a month ago, my 10-year-old son begged me to take him to the...
When our clients with young children ask us whether they should be giving their children an allowance or paying them to do chores, our answer is almost always “Yes”. The question is most often posed as an “either/or”, but in fact raising financially literate and capable children is a “both/and” answer. Allowances and payment for...
If you leave a financial inheritance to your children, what is the last thing you’d want them to do with it?
