The Reformed Financial Advisor
by Andrew Flattery
4M ago
I delve into Mel Gibson's spot-on perspective on retirement, which I contend is unnatural in the modern hedonistic context.

https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/ You heard right. The Reformed Financial Advisor Podcast? It's gone. Dead and buried. From now on, it's Gentleman Speculator. Cleaner. Sharp as a stiletto heel. Like Alain Delon's tailored slacks.  Money is a tool. But this isn’t about counting beans anymore. We’re talking shadows, where the real power reveals itself. The true Zorro? It's William Lamport. And he doesn’t just fight with a sword; he fights with secrets. Bruce Wayne’s noblesse oblige?
