I continue to use AI to test some portfolio options and variations and I simply love the tool and the capabilities. It took me an hour of work to get the output at the bottom of this post largely because I had to do too much work on my own but I think AI will…

Setup My New 401k Already
After writing this post where I was told by my new employer that there may be a 30, 60, or 90 day wait for my new 401k plan, I already got everything setup. I received an email yesterday that I could go ahead and set it up. I logged on and tried to set everything…
Early Signs of Credit & Banking Crisis?
One of the observations I’ve made over the years is how banks change my credit limits on my credit cards from time to time. What I’ve discovered is when banks are feeling stressed they start cutting credit lines or start asking how much people are earning to adjust those credit lines. I’ve written posts about…
Bitcoin Blues? Ethereum Exhaustion? Not On My Watch!
The past few days some digital currencies appear to be in free fall. The two I own are Bitcoin and Ethereum so you might think I’m quaking in my boots about losses on these two digital currencies but I’m not. I own these digital currencies through ETFs, IBIT and EHTA, and I specifically chose these…
Is The AI Bubble About To Pop?
I’ve been reading a great deal of interesting news on AI but the most recent and alarming is a trend of some big names selling off some of their AI stocks.

After Getting Ghosted By Employers….
After getting ghosted and rejected by some employers, this week they all called me asking me if I were available or want to continue the process some even after I got rejected! WTF? Perhaps they were waiting for the shutdown to be over or perhaps anticipation of the Fed cutting rates again in December is…
Crazy 401k Enrollment Rules, Why?
As part of onboarding my new job, I was eager to get my 401k setup so I can get back to reducing my income to avoid another horrible tax situation but was shocked to learn that I would have to wait 30 days to enroll or maybe 60 or 90 days. People weren’t sure what…
AI Hate Is Proof It’s Already Won
The big news in the music industry is that an AI generated song is #1 on Billboard. There is a lot of hate out there about it and if you want to read an example, click this link here. The article in the link has a lot of hate and vitriol against AI generated songs…
50 Year Mortgages?
The big news today was the administration’s announcement for a 50 year mortgage in the marketplace. It seems insane to me but I wanted to double checked my gut instinct and asked AI if 50 year mortgages are a good idea. A 50-year mortgage is an ultra-long-term home loan that spreads repayment over half a…
