Seinfeld and Sponge-worthiness

It's been quite a long time since I've written. I've been so busy and haven't been reading much econ stuff lately nor have I come across anything particularly blog worthy.

A lot of stuff has happened since my last post. Most importantly, I got a job at Dow Jones in downtown SF in the financial district. I started April 19th as a Research Assistant. I'm extremely happy and relieved to have found something so quickly after graduating, and to top the cake, it is something I really enjoy. I was going through major bouts of anxiety (and for those who know me, you know how fretful and flustered I can get) and was seriously going through bi-weekly quarter life crises my last quarter at SB. So, needless to say, I'm much more relaxed now.

But, the purpose of this post is to provide a link to this article I came across from The Wall Street Journal. Per my research required for work, I come across a lot of interesting articles and this one I just had to share. It consists of two of my favorite things in life: Economics and Seinfeld. yes, Seinfeld.

Who knew an Economist could find a way to teach about investment decisions through Elaine's sponge dilemma?

To finding sponge-worthy men,

Your Aspiring Economist
