Open doors to the past by visiting Europe’s time-warp homes

Many of Europe's time-warp houses — sights that bring you back to a bygone era — get only a few thoughtful travelers, overshadowed by big-name museums. Some of the ones I highly recommend may make people say "Huh!?" But they're the sights that might just make your day. For example, Glasgow's Tenement House offers a chance to drop into a perfectly preserved, 1930s-era, middle-class residence. The National Trust for Scotland bought this otherwise ordinary row home, located in a residential neighborhood, because […]

Explore port wine in Portugal’s Douro Valley

One of Portugal's most endearing slices is the Douro River Valley, the winding, terraced region that produces the country's beloved port wine. This is Portugal's answer to Germany's romantic Rhine River Valley. But unlike the Rhine, the Douro was never a strategic military location. So, rather than castles and stony ramparts, visitors encounter farms and sleepy villages. The only thing fortified here…is the wine. The Douro region, where port is produced, stretches along the river of the same name, about […]

Europe’s crazy rich royals and their lavish retreats

The royal families of the past — like those of the present — were fond of their countryside getaways. These lavish retreats provided an escape from the city and the summer heat, a place for diversions like hunting and horseback riding, and enough land to build grand showpiece palaces and gardens. While Europe has many royal summer palaces, a few are remarkable for their sheer size, over-the-top opulence, and the larger-than-life personalities who built them. The granddaddy of European palaces […]

OP-ED: What is market manipulation?

Editor Note: This is the third and final part of a three-part op-ed regarding money. You can check out the first part and second part of this op-ed series here. In the previous two columns, I explored what constitutes something as money and why there is an interest rate. I also briefly explored the history of the U.S. dollar and what affects interest rates. In this column, I will dive into the manipulation of markets and what happens to them […]

OP-ED: Free federal money costs us too much

It's easier to sell cotton candy than it is to sell broccoli to somebody, but the broccoli is better for you, and the same thing with a limited government. – Marco Rubio When our state governors and lawmakers talk about budgets, they seldom tell us the whole truth. Politicians discuss the budget in terms of what is allocated in the state General Fund. But they are only telling us half-truths. By simplifying the breadth and costs of the state government, […]

OP-ED: What is an interest rate?

Editor Note: This is the second part of a three-part op-ed regarding money. You can check out the first installment here. When we were figuring out what constitutes something as money, we saw how the value the baker held for maple syrup diminished when his supply of that good increased and that the value someone holds for something is subjective and unique to that individual. The hunter will, likely, always hold more value in venison than the baker no matter […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Baby boomers

In the U.S. alone, there are about 78 million Baby Boomers. These are people born between 1946 and 1964. Every fourth person you see at the dentist, carwash, or leg waxing salon is a Boomer. This means that (1) we still have some of our own teeth, (2) we may drive around aimlessly, and (3) some of us grow hair where we don’t want it. Boomers lived through both good times (man on the moon) and bad (mooning cars). We […]

OP-ED: Common misconceptions about fiat currency

Editor Note: This is the first part of a three-part op-ed regarding money. There are some common misconceptions about today’s money. One is that our currency is backed by the gold in Fort Knox and we can exchange our dollars for gold. Another is that money, somehow magically, comes from government and that the government has to bring money into being before the society can start utilizing the “wealth” that the government creates. But what actually constitutes something as money? […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Cheap weddings

My cheap friend Buddy -- who’s tighter than last year’s thong—got married last year. Below is his advice. But my guess is, most brides would veto all these ideas: Location? Ask a friend with a big den to borrow his house. If you remove the furniture, and guests stand up, you can squeeze more in. (And maybe if you invite the neighbors, they’ll let you park cars in their driveways.) Invitations? Handwritten invitations add a personal touch, especially if scribbled […]
