As a follow up to building my first autonomous trading bot post, I can now report that the bot made $359 in one week. Keep in mind that this is paper trading and not real money but the first week result is impressive and my plan is to let this run like this for a…

Managing AI Costs With OpenRouter.AI
I am in the process of building AI agents to do various tasks as I’ve outlined in a post I wrote recently but cost is now starting to become an issue. The all-you-can-eat model was not going to be sustainable and the more popular AI becomes the more demand and the more cost. It’s no…
I Built A Second Hermes Agent On An Old Raspberry Pi
Now that I’m retired, I am having the time of my life planning trips around the world and I’ll write about that later but in the meantime, I have been using AI so much that I decided I wanted to have another dedicated AI agent running on a different platform. I finally get why RAM,…
What I’m Building With AI Agents And You Can Too!
I haven’t been this excited in decades. The last time I was this excited was when the Internet was invented and suddenly I could connect with anyone on the planet. The main issue I have right now is prioritizing what I want to do with AI because there are just so many things. It got…
Apple’s WWDC Was A Joke
I had such high hopes for Apple’s WWDC and it was a total joke. The conference started with gimmicky liquid glass. Who cares about liquid glass? Apple, you are a trillion dollar company and the best you can come up with is liquid glass? Siri is now Siri AI which looks an awful lot like…

100 Days of Non-War War
Today marks a milestone, the current administration of the Unite States has now been 100 days of non-war war with Iran. I’m not going to go political here since this is a personal finance blog but I am going to discuss the impacts of this non-war on our household budget. Fuel The first and obvious…
Corporate Cybersecurity & Accountant Nazis
Yesterday I wrote a post about how I’ve had it and I am leaving the corporate world with a key insight and thesis: Corporate America will implode within 5 years. The cause? Cybersecurity and accounting over bearing policies and protocols. I won’t get into all the details here as I exit corporate America but I…
I’m Officially Retired (from Corporate Drudgery)
I ended my employment this week. I’ve had enough. Ironically, it comes almost exactly two years from when I wrote this post “Corporate Burnout && Golden Handcuffs” and one year later, I got laid off and headed to South America. Well this time, I hope to be retired from corporate drudgery for good. I do…
Minor Losses Happen – Update on RBLX
Back in January I entered into a collar on RBLX with the hopes that it would rebound and provide an annualized 10% return. Since I wrote that post, RBLX has fallend by 50% or so but I had a collar so my losses were limited to about $250 on this trade. This is what I…
