Grow Wealth — Get Kinky With Your Cash

November 11, 2020 by Nate Rifkin

Billy’s snores rumbled through the dark hotel room, like a dirt-stuffed garden hose choking and sputtering. He rasped more air into his lungs, like a dentist pulling back his drill before plunging forward again, penetrating deeper into our brains. Three of us shared the hotel room: Billy, me, and Wally. A little before midnight, I’d …

Throwing Axes Where I Used To Work

November 9, 2020 by Nate Rifkin

As Wally and I drove east on 285, the mustard yellow and tomato red of Wells Fargo and Target came closer and closer, then fell behind us. Tokyo Joe’s. Noodle & Company. Just like any other Denver plaza – but these images simmered on the front burner of my memory. It was Day 2 of …

When To Get The Hell Out

November 9, 2020 by Nate Rifkin

“That wine’s dank,” the server said as she scanned the menu. My friend Wally and my wife sat by the window of Indulge Bistro & Wine Bar in Golden, Colorado, on the corner of Washington Avenue and 13th Street. The sun had set. Like hearing a word spoken in a foreign language, my brain passed …

How $39 Dragged Me Into Bankruptcy

November 7, 2020 by Nate Rifkin

My partner and I stood 25 yards away from the first truck as it rumbled through the bay doors and hit the rubber barrier. One worker hopped out of the cab as the other unlatched the trucks doors. They helped the truck vomit its contents into bags. Dirty pants, shirts, floor mats, towels, mop heads, …

Beware The Abusive Guru

October 31, 2020 by Nate Rifkin

“He turned around, looked at me, and said, ‘I will rearrange your face.’” Nina grabbed my leg and stretched it as she continued her story. “But you know what? I was really proud of myself. He didn’t cock his arm back. I saw that. He wasn’t actually going to hit me. So I didn’t flinch.” …

Rageaholic Meltdown Over Wrist Beads Gives Life lesson

October 29, 2020 by Nate Rifkin

“My employees can tell you. I’ve gone from being a big dick…” he gestured with his hands. “…to a little dick.” He spread his thumb and forefinger just a couple inches apart. The crowd chuckled as he paced back and forth, like a human metronome, black hair forced into place with half a tub of …

Party-Pooper Questions To Build Your Wealth

October 27, 2020 by Nate Rifkin

I was on the ground floor of the UMASS Amherst library, shelves of dust-covered tomes looming over me. I flipped open a book as big as a bread loaf. As I sifted through the pages, a woman stared at the text with the crumb-size letters. “Looks like fascinating stuff.” Quick! Think of a clever reply! …

Does Your Partner Hold You Back? Do You Hold Your Partner Back?

October 15, 2020 by Nate Rifkin

The truck meep meep meeped a warning as it slid into the bay doors and thudded to a stop. Its odor seeped into the warehouse. When this happened, my first strategy was denial. Maybe I could just ignore the smell. Or maybe it’d be different this time. We’d unlatch the back door, grab the handle, …

Bringing Your Meditative State Into The Real World

September 15, 2018 by Nate Rifkin

As I stood in the middle of a gurgling river in Woodstock, New York, I watched the light dance in the ripples and reflect the green of the leaves fluttering around me. I reflected on how beautiful this was. Then my thoughts slowed down until I wasn’t existing much at all… … and then it …
