A Little More, A Little Earlier
I keep following the minimalist dogmas that help us stay calm and follow the path towards retirement . . . Do you remember “less is more”, “the longest road” or “philosophy of effort”? You can see them here, here or here. Sorry, I get distracted and that is precisely […]

Oscar´s in Spanish
At this point, you known from my previous posts that not everything is money and one of the most important aspects of life is culture, in any of its forms, but for me, it is especially cinema; Remember other posts about movies that I have already recommended, like Mustang.
