Don't Need Much Money is exactly what it sounds like: a site about needing less, so you have more. More time. More freedom. More room to actually live. The idea is simple. The less money you need to survive, the more time you have to thrive. Lower your living costs, live a healthy lifestyle focused on longevity and mobility, stay out of debt, and build a little savings, and you buy yourself something far more valuable than money: time. Time to do what you actually love, spend with people you care about, and put toward things that matter. This site is my own real life running that experiment. Most of what you'll find here are recipes and day-to-day habits. They aren't filler posts, it's intentional. Cooking from scratch, buying smart, wasting less, eating well, and staying healhty, fit, and limber all without spending much are some of the most direct ways I practice this philosophy day to day.

One of the investors I like to follow is Eric Cinnamond of Palm Valley Capital. He runs an absolute return fund that focuses on small cap stocks. Being an absolute return fund, he keeps a close eye on valuations and doesn't mind holding cash/treasuries if things are getting too expensive (like they are now).
He also puts in a lot of work keeping up to date on hundreds of companies. This includes actually reading investor call transcripts and analyzing financials rigorously. His work ethic and style put him in a box of rare people that I would trust making investment decisions with my money that differ from owning the index.
But my favorite thing about Eric is his market commentary. He has a way of summarizing the current investment landscape like very few investors can. Case in point is his most recent commentary on the Federal Reserve. He likened it to "Daddy Ball" which is where a parent coach favors their own kid to play even though other kids are better skilled.
The graphic above sums it up so well. The Federal Reserve has benched its best players in favor of propping up the stock market. But just like little league teams that exhibit daddy ball, eventually it won't work. He reminds investors to STAY PATIENT! Wise advice given the current circumstances.
His fund, Palm Valley Capital, is relatively new (started in April 2019). It is structured as a mutual fund and as a result there are currently only a few ways to invest. You need to have an account with either TD Ameritrade or Vanguard to be able to allocate funds to the Palm Valley mutual fund with symbol PVCMX. Both are great platforms to open investment accounts so look to choose one of these if you, like me, want to allocate funds to Eric and the Palm Valley Capital team to manage.
