Our Valentines 2020 : Planet Money : NPR

We’re sending some good old-fashioned love letters addressed to that which truly warmed our nerdy hearts. This year, our Valentines go out to:

• Adam Minter, author of Secondhand — a book that showed us Goodwill is way more interesting than we thought.
• The Barbell Strategy, an investment strategy that is remarkably useful as a guide for daily living.
• Discounted Cashflow Analysis, the biggest thing in the world of business and finance we knew nothing about.
• The Banana Saver!
• Prime Age Employment to Population Ratio, an economic indicator that gets to the heart of it.
• Zeno’s Paradox, the answer to making love last forever… or something like that.

Music: “Starry Eyes,” “The Soft Look,” “Summer Stroll,” “Simple Folk,” “Sunshine Melody,” & “Love Affair.”
