You’re making the biggest financial mistake of your retirement by buying in a 55+ or active adult community.

I’m all for building townhomes with main-level primary suites and the amenities typically found in active adult communities without the age restrictions.
We need more housing 🏠that allows people to age comfortably while remaining part of a vibrant, multigenerational neighborhood.
I believe that’s a significant gap in this country’s housing supply.

If you’ve been looking to buy a home over the past few years but have felt discouraged by high prices and interest rates, now is the time to pay attention.
Buyers are negotiating meaningful price reductions and substantial seller concessions. Based on what I’m seeing firsthand, I firmly believe the next three to four months could offer some of the best buying opportunities we’ll see for the foreseeable future.
That window may not stay open for long. If you’re financially ready to purchase, this is a market worth taking seriously.

The suburban Philadelphia real estate market is really the tale of two cities right now.

Elon Musk says “super intelligence AI agents will eventually hack financial systems to obtain money for themselves, not humans.”
That’s like training the pool boy knowing he’s going to one day come into your home and fuck your wife and continuing to train him anyway.

Ironically, the company whose IPO is set to create a few thousand decamillionaires will get a slightly better credit rating on its corporate debt.
Wild times.

Big news heading into @RippleSwell: the @USOCC has granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank.
This gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises.
We’ve always said crypto and banks work better together — this is what that looks like. Real innovation, real accountability, federal oversight.
The revolution isn't happening outside the system. It's happening from within it.

$AAPL abandoned its electric car project. The Vision Pro never lived up to the hype. And arguably, its last truly innovative product was the Apple Watch, over a decade ago.
Yet it’s once again the world’s most valuable company.
Unreal.

AI stock euphoria is blinding people to the ridiculous valuations.
Yes, AI is a civilization-changing technology. That doesn’t mean the profits will justify today’s prices. You can be right about the trend and still wildly overpay for the stock.
Few understand this.

An unprecedented amount of retail properties have been hitting the market in the Philadelphia area.
Many think it’s due to a potential increase to the long-term capital gains tax next year.

They are now talking about it as if it wasn’t prepositioned for the last several years.
Ripple has expanded into nearly every corner of the crypto industry, from stablecoins to asset custody. Now it is edging into Wall Street’s terrain. on.wsj.com/4AUxZj8

Interesting to keep an eye on.
How long did it take to go from 2% to 50% adoption in the USA:
- Cars: 15 years
- Internet: 7.5 years
- Computer: 19 years
- Smartphone: 6.5 years
- AI: just reached 2% today
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The adoption timelines compare paid AI subscriptions (~2% US households per a16z data) to broader ownership/usage metrics for cars, internet, computers and smartphones. AI chatbot usage is already ~49% among US adults per recent surveys.
