Welcome to Hurdle Rate!

This blog is concerned with the use of financial concepts—financial reasoning—to make good choices.  Finance is a discipline with a deep tool kit to assist practitioners in economic decision making.  The purpose of this blog is to help readers understand and utilize these tools.  I hope this blog serves as true investment vehicle, providing healthy returns in the form of financial education for its readers and for myself.  Along the way, I’ll opine on current business and economic topics, books, food and wine, and pop culture.
