DC Flights to Eurpoe in the $400s

Between leftover holiday food, half-working brains, and pretending we know what day it is, this is the week where good stuff quietly sneaks through. No hype today. Just a handful of routes that are priced lower than they should be for spring and early summer travel.

If something fits your schedule, grab it. If not, file it away mentally for when you need an excuse to leave town.

Paris is showing two genuinely solid options right now, depending on whether you care more about convenience or absolute lowest price.

Quick heads up, this next section is a paid ad.

If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capital…

Ever invest in something you know will have low returns—just for the sake of diversifying?

CDs… Bonds… REITs… :(

Sure, these “boring” investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:

It’s been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.

It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*

It’s not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, it’s postwar and contemporary art.

And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.
