Pocket Move
There is a financial cost and a value to your decisions. You just never check.
A free weekly letter about the money hiding inside ordinary decisions — what things really cost to keep, to move, to store, and to study for. No selling, no referrals, and nobody pays me to point you anywhere.

Three decisions where the figure you are shown is not the figure you pay.
Each takes about a minute, runs in your browser, and stores nothing.
Storage
A unit is a hundred and sixty dollars a month until you multiply it. See what keeping it costs against what your things are actually worth.
Run the storage numbersMoving abroad
Shipping a life costs more than the quote and less than the panic. Work out what is worth taking and what to buy when you land.
Run the moving numbersA college degree
The sticker price is not the price and the loan is not the cost. See what a degree actually costs and what it has to earn back.

One decision, taken apart.
The arithmetic nobody does before signing, with real figures rather than advice.
What it costs to keep.
Not what it cost to buy. The two are different, and only one of them is still charging you.
Where the money leaks.
The quiet, recurring, invisible kind, and the single move that stops it.
One question, answered.
Reply to any issue. One reader question gets answered properly in every letter.

Should I Store It?
The decision before you sign. What a unit really costs, and the small number of things that genuinely belong in one.
Coming soonThe Downsizing Checklist
The room-by-room running order for moving somewhere smaller, with the hard decisions deliberately left until last.
Coming soonThe Storage Decision Workbook
Ninety minutes and a pen. Room by room, what you would buy again, and the date your storage stops being worth it.
Coming soonClearing a Family Home
A parent’s house, with siblings, a deadline and grief in the room. An order of operations that holds when nobody is at their best.
Coming soonPaying for a Degree
Every path to the same qualification, what each one costs, where the money is this year, and the countries that charge nothing.
Coming soonMoving Abroad
What to ship, what to sell, and what a barrel or a container really costs once duty and port fees are counted.
Coming soonOne email gets you all of them. Nothing is sold to you afterwards.
