The world abandoned sound money in 1971.
The world is returning to sound money in 2025.
Most people just haven't realized it yet.

Life is simple. All you need are friends, family, good health, and a Porsche 911 GT3.
As a young(ish) person who's spent a lot of time focusing on and building passive income, I tend to agree.
On the surface, it seems money will solve all problems. But working on something bigger than yourself with people you respect will take you a lot farther in life.
This opinion might be unpopular but I think young people focus way too much on passive income when they should be focusing on increasing their active income.

I know fire alarms are supposed to be loud but I swear the fire alarms in my building could wake up dinosaurs

Mixed feelings on iOS26 so far.
The good:
- Shortened animation for opening apps. This results in your phone feeling faster
- Call screening
The bad:
- Feels like they changed things just for the sake of changing them
- Most aesthetic changes are not an improvement

It amazes me how many people I鈥檓 seeing pre-order the iPhone Air.
The standard iPhone has better battery life, a better camera, is likely more durable, and costs $200 less.
Makes zero sense.

I've been doing a simple meditation for 10 minutes in the morning.
Already, I'm not feeling as "on edge" as I was a few weeks ago.
Makes me wonder where we'd be if doctors prescribed meditation instead of medication.

What happened yesterday was awful and eye opening.
Let鈥檚 hope the intelligence agencies are done with public assassinations for a while.

Been meditating for 10 minutes in the morning...
I love how it slows my brain down and lets me make better decisions instead of being reactive.

In Wisconsin, car registration was maybe $80/year.
In North Carolina, it鈥檚 $600/year.
Straight theft.

I wanted to get a remote job in Account Management.
Applied to hundreds of companies.
Heard back from a few.
Hired by none.
Then I discovered high-yield ETFs and found I could earn a similar amount without having to clock in and play work politics 馃槇
