Letter from the Editor

for every cliché I’ve ever heard about money, I’d make sure that none of them ever get used again.

Until that blessed day comes, we took a different look at money for this issue – by focusing on its impact. From noisecancelling headphones to help you maintain your peace, to fragrances and eco-friendly fashion investments, we’ve highlighted ways you can invest in yourself right now – and look like a million bucks for a long time coming.

On the more practical side, Michael Haldane breaks down the value and mystery of investing overseas (p50), Houseme’s Ben Shaw reveals how his new-age letting agency saves both landlords and tenants thousands (p54), and we look at new revenue streams brought on by the near-future advent of space tourism (p70). And if money gives you access and a platform, how best do you use it? Follow the example of breakout actor Ncuti Gatwa (p28) or our cover guy, comedian and activist Hasan Minhaj (p58), and (sorry) put your money where your mouth is.

Enjoy the issue!
