I used to think I was pretty smart with money—until I went shopping with Uncle Hasan. It all started one ordinary afternoon.

The Dandelion That Ruined Everything!
Back in high school, we math and physics students had a long-standing unspoken agreement: biology didn’t matter. It wasn’t hatred, exactly. It was more like apathy wrapped in boredom. To us, it was just a filler subject — the class you sat through because you had to, not because you cared.
