Hi pal,
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote from Paul Ferrini, “My relationship with the entire world in this moment depends entirely on the relationship I have with myself.”
It makes me think about how my relationship with myself impacts my relationship with my money — how I’m spending it, investing it, and honoring the energy required to earn it.
How do you see your relationship with yourself reflected in your relationship with money?
A housekeeping note, the unofficial start of summer is marked by Memorial Day weekend here in the US. As we move into my favorite season, the Nerdletter will be moving into its summer publishing schedule – every other week.
Your favorite finance friend,
Paco
P.S. Shout out to Tina Roth Eisenberg for tweeting Paul’s quote.

6. 🕹 The Great Online Game (Not Boring) “We now live in a world in which, by typing things into your phone or your keyboard, or saying things into a microphone, or snapping pictures or videos, you can marshall resources, support, and opportunities. Crypto has the potential to take it up a notch by baking game mechanics -- points, rewards, skins, teams, and more -- right into the whole internet. The Great Online Game is free to play, and it starts simply: by realizing that you’re playing a game. Every tweet is a free lottery ticket. That’s a big unlock.”
7. 💛 All hail King Pokémon! (Input) Gary Haase has amassed the world’s most expensive Pokémon card collection, valued at over $10 million. Between crypto, NFTs and Pokémon cards worth multiple six-figure my mind is blown thinking about all the ways humanity values things.
8. 👛 What We Spent in a Month (The New York Times) Six American families open their doors — and their wallets — to show us how much life costs. It’s fascinating to see the genre of the money diary expand and change with the different publications that publish them.
