I used AI to do my taxes this year and I’m getting a $100,000 refund.
I simply said, “Do my taxes and make sure I get a $100,000 refund. Make no mistakes.”
Simply incredible. AI is the future.
I’m feeling much better after taking a mental health break (unable to use my phone for 10 minutes during a software update).
My wife: How late were you out last night?
Me: The DOW is over $50,000!
Why do you ask?
Child: Dad, can I have $75,000? I want to buy a bitcoin.
Dad: $73,000!? Where am I going to get $70,000. Do you think I have $68,000 just lying around? You gotta work hard to make $63,000.

What we’re seeing is a classic rotation from software stocks to poverty.
2026 Pinned Post:
I run a nationally recognized wealth management firm for high-achieving millennials, next generation investors, entrepreneurs, and their families.
I also write about relationships and money so you and your partner can become an unstoppable financial team.

Maybe if the dollar went to the gym it wouldn’t be so weak.
I didn’t think the 30-Year Treasury would be the next meme stock.
January feels like permission to hit reset. Not with resolutions, but with systems.
What can run quietly in the background so life feels lighter? Fewer decisions. Less checking in. More time for what actually matters.

“Work until your bank account looks like a phone number.”
Uhh…
lol - I am numb to it all.
New Year’s resolutions are mostly a shame trap dressed up as self-improvement.
Instead ask yourself, “If we’re talking three years from now, what needs to be true for me to feel good about my progress?”

I asked my kids if they had any idea of what’s going on in the world right now. They said no and asked if we could have pizza for dinner tonight. Being a kid is awesome.
Hiring Manager: So, tell me about yourself.
Me: I’d rather not. I really need this job.
I am looking for people who are interested in turning $50 into $5,000. This is not a pyramid scheme. We will be selling seized oil.
Wall Street forecasting year-end price targets…
The President watched just one episode of Landman and now we control Venezuela's oil. Absolutely wild.
You can’t compete with me. I want you to win too.
Parents: I’m barely keeping it together. I need this year to end.
School: Fantastic! Please have your child dress up as their favorite holiday character using items from your house.
So, we decided to play 2025 on hard mode. Turns out, it was worth it. Thanks for helping make this year one we will never forget. And much love to our readers. Happy Holidays to all of you. That's a wrap.

The economy is so strong that we’re going to lower interest rates!
Years ago, I would joke my wife's bonus came just in time for us to pay our taxes. Guess who didn't find that very funny.
Bonuses aren’t found money, they’re recognition. Treat them that way first, then plan accordingly.

Me telling my wife to calm down…
Uber Eats: Imagine an $8 burrito
Me: That sounds so awesome
Uber Eats: Now imagine that it could be all yours for just $26
Holiday stress hits money, time, and family all at once. No wonder we take it out on each other. This week, we go beneath the gift-wrapping.
