Controversial money advice learned in 35 years. My parents didn't teach me this... yours didn't either. Time for some straight talk on $$$. No BS 👇
Actions that instantly tell you everything about someone: 1. Reclining your seat on an airplane 2. Treatment of waitstaff 3. How/what you order at a restaurant & changes 4. Leaving your shopping cart in middle of lot 5. Asking for a manager for minor issues w/ a line behind…
she got a point😭
Do medical sharing plans for around 300 per month to cover catastrophic And then pay cash for the rest Never pay 1k-2k+ per month for insurance (unless you have major medical needs) If not, youre just burning money Doctor offices hate insurance, they happily give you a…
Thinking of going naked on health insurance. Is this a bad idea? I have insurance, it costs me so much. And I still pay an ass ton out of pocket. Baring the low probability risk of disease; going no health insurance is a better deal. Just pay everything out of pocket.
I've found I can only do 4 of these well MAX - Present w Kids - Present & romantic w Spouse - Successful at work - Good Networker - Regular Hobbies - Ample relax time - Exercise time - Time w friends/other family - 8 hours sleep Haven't found a shortcut to do all…
My wife was an early user for a social media app So I cold-emailed the founder saying I'd like to invest... I didn't have much but my wife loves your app and I know it'll be huge. He was super nice, but responded that they just raised funding & appreciated it. The app was…
Share a piece of lore about yourself
You spend extra to live in a great community for stuff like this We had an impromptu pool party earlier this afternoon with 7 families & and there's nothing like it Spend more than you're comfortable with when you find an awesome area to live in
It’s summer time in Houston, Tx which basically means weekly backyard hangs. We’ll have 20 adults + their kids in about a hour and we didn’t even plan this. Everyone just knows it’s an open invite. Wagyu Burgers for the homies today.
This is typical of performative people She gets all she needs from a prestigious MIT for 4+ years, then tears the school down as she leaves Same with people who benefit from America and say "America is awful" Or people who say "stand on your own two feet" then get upset…
MIT’s class president, Megha Vemuri, spent her graduation speech bashing Israel. Then President Sally Kornbluth spoke immediately after and oh boy was that awkward.
I'm telling you from experience... once you hit around 300k/yr, your life doesn't get "more happy" grinding to "millions" - Make ~300k+ - Have a lot of kids you go to recitals for, coach etc - Date your wife - Make new friends - Live in a great area/community - Keep trying new…
Elon will stick with unprofitable ventures for years before they become successful/fail Him giving up after 5 months to stop government inefficiency means you should be more bullish on gold & Bitcoin than ever
I have come to the perhaps obvious conclusion that accelerating GDP growth is essential. @DOGE has and will do great work to postpone the day of bankruptcy of America, but the profligacy of government means that only radical improvements in productivity can save our country.
When you have kids... Buy a bigger house than you can afford Especially... And this is most important... If it's to get into a great n'hood & school district. Throw the excel sheet away at that point. Do not buy a dump on the outskirts b/c the "ROI on your $" is better
Thank you for asking. The worst real estate investment idea is buying a single-family home because you were told it's "The American Dream," telling yourself owning a house is a "great investment" without running a single calculation, making the biggest purchase of your life never…
This is groundbreaking for Americans, but commonplace in most other countries. Millennials will be the ones to restart the chain & importance of the 'extended family' community. So many millennials don't have that We've told our (young) kids already when they have kids,…
Let me share a secret that has worked pretty well in my family & will probably work in yours: Your goal in raising subsequent generations is to get them to see themselves as links in a chain, rather than as individuals 100% free to do whatever they want.
Dating apps are like applying for jobs on Monster .com They attract the laziest people who aren't willing to put in the work, or do the hard stuff If you can't find a job right now... how many Directors of XYZ position have you cold called or emailed? If you can't find a…
5 years on tinder and swiped right 2 million times and got one date. It's time to Thailandmaxx bro.
Age 22 is the perfect time to do something like this. Daughters Pre-K teacher told me her daughter just graduated college & moving to Manhattan. I said "that's the perfect time to do that..." Spend your 20s grinding it out, in a new city, save some money + find a spouse.…
People ask why I chose investment banking if I hated it so much. Well Karen… I graduated Dartmouth in 2012 with $360,000 in debt. I had $5 in my bank account on my first day of work. My first job was in M&A. Why? It was the highest paying job I could get — and I needed it.…

AMC will slash prices on Wednesdays by 50% starting in July 🍿 The goal is to get more people into theaters between weekends (via @business)
TIL there are husbands who do nothing for their wives on Mothers Day because "she isn't my mother." Who thinks like this? No wonder the birth rate is declining.
The best argument to spend your money now on your spouse & kids vs. saving for when you're dead. They'll remember everything while you'll alive... the experiences you create with them... Vs. giving them a check at your funeral
New FDA official Vinay Prasad is pretty sure that soon after your demise, your loved ones will not remember you existed.
