You know Wanderlust.
We live by Effizienzlust.
Wealth was never meant to be cold. It is a voyage you actually want to be on.
My first word was penny.
Not mama. Not no. Penny. By the age of five I had chosen my two careers and refused, flatly, to pick between them: pirate, and banker. I carried a blunderbuss in one hand and a banker's briefcase in the other, and I saw no contradiction at all. I still do not.
The pirate is the romance. The horizon, the adventure, the freedom, the voyage out. The banker is the discipline. The love of the coin, the quiet thrill of the ledger, the private joy of a clever saving. Every cold institution that ever bored you to sleep kept the briefcase and threw the blunderbuss overboard. We kept both.
The pirate would never call it a portfolio review.
What They Did To ItThey made it cold
Banks and brokers and finance houses made wealth feel cold, and prickly, and stuffy, because cold is easier to bill for. They took one of the great pleasures of a life and turned it into a grey waiting room with good carpet. We think that is close to a crime against a good fortune.
What We BelieveWealth is supposed to be fun
Making it. Spending it with intention. Being clever, lean, even a little bit cheap, and delighting in every penny of it.
The Germans, who are not famous for frivolity, have the best words for this feeling. We borrowed two of them, and coined the third.
Big win love. A passion for the windfall, the massive cash deal, and the pure joy of watching your money empire expand. We don't just build wealth; we celebrate the triumph of it.
The savings fox. The clever creature who hunts a good deal for the pure sport of the chase. Be one, proudly.
Our word. The joy of the lean, efficient move. Lust, in German, means appetite and zest, with a wink the English ear catches for free.
The wealth cousin of Wanderlust
You already live one of these words. Wanderlust, the joy of the open road, crossed into English long ago and never left. Effizienzlust is its missing cousin: the same appetite and zest, turned toward building, keeping, and being clever with the coin. Everyone knows the ache to roam. We simply named the matching joy of the fortune that pays for the roaming.
You know Wanderlust.

A voyage you want to be on
That is why it is an Odyssey, and not an advisory. An odyssey is a journey you choose, and want, and tell stories about long after. It buys you travel, and freedom, and a life with your own atmosphere, your own altitude, your own voice. The Wealth Odyssey exists to hand that joy back to every clever, restless person the institutions bored half to death.
Pirate in one hand, banker in the other. I was never going to choose between them, and neither should you.David Campbell Lester
