The realest mfer in personal finance
This is so funny. Every few years, conservatives get complete control of a city/state and try their policies, only to end in complete and total disaster
In Kansas, Republicans launched one of the biggest state tax cuts ever, their signature and only actual policy (besides terrorizing immigrants and restricting women's reproductive rights). As a result, tax revenues dropped by $700 million in the first year, Kansas growth lagged neighbors, and they made such deep cuts to education that even Republicans admitted they severely screwed up and repealed their policies. This should have put supply-side economics in the dustbin of history but Republicans can't read so they fail to learn from history.
In Oklahoma, Republicans cut taxes, resulting in a hole so large -- nearly $900 million -- that 20% of school districts had to go to 4-day weeks to save money. Nothing like screwing children so wealthy Republicans get wealthier! Oklahoma ended with about 1,500 fewer teachers and were forced to assign a mileage cap to Highway Patrol because they couldn't afford gas. Great governance, guys. Republicans later admitted their policies were idiotic and repealed many of their policies, raising taxes.
Florida's coming disaster will be extremely entertaining to watch. When Republicans actually try to effect policy (rare -- usually they just demonize minorities), it almost always ends in disaster
This is why I will never be lectured to by a Republican about their views on taxes

- Income: $138,600 (he thought their income was ~$200,000)
- Debt: $428,263 (about $350K is student loans)
- Savings: $0
- Fixed costs: 154% of take-home pay
- Groceries and eating out for two: $3,363/month

My beautiful 29 year old child had to pay taxes
My Son just spent 30 days up north working his ass off. Overtime on top of his regular hours. He made 10,000 dollars.
This Morning he woke up to find out the Government took 4,000 of his pay check.
He’s 29. Tying to build a life,marry his gf of 6 years.
He just stormed into my Holiday Trailer ranting about how much he fucking hates Canada. Hates the Government.
Mark Carney you fucking cunt. I hate you. I hate your Government,you are a giant pos. I hope you get an incurable disease and suffer the worst fate known to man before your useless,corrupted ass dies. I curse you and your whole bloodline for generations to come. May they know nothing but suffering for their whole lives.
FUCK CARNEY
FUCK THE LIBERALS
FUCK CANADUH.

As a proponent of long-term investing I always get the following pushback:
Now show Japan
So I wrote 2 chapters in Risk & Reward all about Japan
The first thing you need to understand is that Japan in the 1980s was the biggest financial asset bubble in history:

One Sunday morning in NYC, I went to meet my friend for coffee. I was wearing a hoodie and athletic pants, the usual for guys on a weekend morning
I remember my friend showed up wearing awesome clothes and I asked him why he was dressed up. He said he'd just decided to always wear nice clothes wherever he goes
I loved his attitude. Complete and total abundance.
I now don't believe in saving nice things for special occasions. I take my favorite bag to the gym. I wear a vicuna sweater for coffee. I drink coffee out of a beautiful hand-made ceramic mug every morning and I let my friends and family borrow my apartment for weeks at a time. My nicest things get the most use
I used to worry about scratches and stains. Truthfully, maybe .01% of the time, it happens. But now those scratches represent using beautiful things getting used in daily life
Beautiful things are meant to be used. They're meant to be shared with the people you love. Don't save your china for a special occasion

This is one of those instances where ADUs are an amazing solution.
Grandparents can build a nice ADU in the backyard for themselves and then their children/grandchildren can move into the main house.
This solves so many downstream problems too - childcare, elder care, living costs, access to schools, fertility(?), etc.
We should be incentivizing more of this kind of multigenerational living.

a lot of people who claim to love this country actually just love capitalism and that they personally attained wealth through it
there’s no love for what actually unites America. there is zero civic pride. no care for the common good.
they don’t love the U.S. they love the USD.

Ramit Sethi'nin podcastini oldukça beğeniyorum. Kişisel finansla ilgili tabu ve tartışmalı konulara yer vermeyi seviyor. Bu örnekte grubunda yeni bir çift var. Evliler, ikisi de 50’li yaşlarında.
- Kadının geliri: 126.000 dolar/yıl
- Erkeğin geliri: 61.000 dolar/yıl
- Net varlık: 496.000 dolar (neredeyse tamamı kadına ait)
- Erkeğin emeklilik birikimi: 16.000 dolar
- Erkek, 12 yıl önce Brezilya'dan göç etti ve oturum kartını ancak geçen yıl aldı. Şu anda kariyerini sıfırdan yeniden inşa ediyor.
- Kadın, erkeğin daha fazla kazanmasını istiyor. Ayrıca erkeğin haftada 6 gün çalışmayı bırakıp evde daha fazla zaman geçirmesini de istiyor.
Bu bölümde, cinsiyet, kültür ve maddi beklentilerle ilgili çatışmalara tanık oluyoruz.
Siz bu senaryoda olsanız ne yapardınız?
New couple on my pod. Married, both in their 50s
- Her income: $126K/year
- His income: $61K/year
- Net worth: $496,000 (almost all hers)
- His retirement savings: $16,000
- He moved from Brazil 12 years ago and only got his green card last year. Now he's rebuilding his career from scratch
- She wants him to earn more. She also wants him to stop working 6 days a week and be home more
In this episode, we see conflicts around gender, culture, and financial expectations
What do you notice in the #s above?

Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵teapaw.org/elonmusk/status/206944…
All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.
Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.
If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!
On the other hand, USAID did help fund the Wuhan Virology Institute, which caused the deaths of millions, and the revolution that started the Russia-Ukraine war.
