FAQs
How old are you?
I was born in June 1987. You do the maths.
Where are you from?
I was born on a farm near Durban (my first pet was a donkey named Mr Magoo). I lived in Durbs until I was twelve and remain very fond of it. At various times, home has been Cape Town, San Francisco, Pretoria, Cambridge, and a very dodgy nightclub called Zeplins. Right now, I live in London.
What is your net worth?
Wow, like, at least take me out for dinner first.
How can I get in touch with you?
Find the right contact here. I get a lot of emails, so please be patient with me if I take a while to get back to you. I do get around to responding to most of them eventually.
Where can I find the money dashboard?
Will you come do a talk about money at my office?
Sure, that's something that I do. You'll find more information about talks here.
Help! I need financial advice.
I'm not a financial advisor, so I can't give you personalised advice, I'm afraid. I'd suggest you head on over to the League of Fucking Grownups Facebook group and ask them to recommend a good fee-based advisor in your area. Here's some general advice about how to choose one.
Why did you move to the U.K.?
Two big reasons:
- I have a genetic predisposition to going blind. I decided that if I do go blind, life will be much easier if I live in a country with a good public transport system.
- The world is big and I wanted to see more of it!
South Africa is a magical place and I miss it every day.
What's your opinion on crypto?
I wrote a long answer to this question here.
Why all the swearing?
Why the fuck not?
Can I ask you on a date?
Thanks but no. I'm a depraved pansexual but am also in a very happy long-term monogamous relationship, thank you very much.
What's your cat's name?
Sir Digby Chicken Caesar III.
Is "Sam" short for "Samantha"?
Only if you ask my grandmother, which would require a ouija board.
