JUST IN: Home sellers now outnumber buyers by 600,000.

That's the largest gap ever recorded in US history.

The housing market isn't frozen because nobody wants to sell. It's frozen because nobody can AFFORD to buy.

A $400K home now costs $960 more per month today than it did in 2021.

A 9-5 job with a good salary, benefits, and PTO is better than owning a business.

A low-stress job + investing can create more wealth than you think.

Entrepreneurship is great, but peace, time, and freedom is more valuable than many realize.

We deserve better than this.

The bill passed the Democratic-controlled House (with Republican support). The Senate is expected to follow. Gov. Janet Mills backs it.

And right now, at least 10 states are advancing similar bans.

This is the LARGEST oil supply disruption in history with no clear end in sight.

> Brent crude oil has surged to $115. A 25% jump in a single day. On a Sunday night.

> US stock futures have now erased over $2 trillion.

> And there are ZERO signs of this slowing down.

The last time the world saw an oil shock this severe was the 1970s. That crisis caused gas rationing and double-digit inflation.

My credit score dropped when I paid off my car.

My credit score dropped when I paid off my student loans.

Credit agencies told me: "You should get more loans to increase your credit score."

The system punishes you for not owing any money.

They want you in debt forever.

Credit scoring is one of the biggest scams.

Tesla burned $9.3B before turning profitable.
Netflix burned $11.1B before turning profitable.
Uber burned $11.2B before turning profitable.

OpenAI plans to burn $218B.

I’m sure everything is fine.

2024-02-11T02:03:26Z

Never let a job steal your life.

The company you work for is not your family, you don't owe a job anything beyond the work you're being paid for.

Prioritize your well-being over misplaced loyalty, and never feel guilty about leaving a job.

Companies aren't families, they're businesses. It's a business relationship and their goal is to make money.

If they can make more money by laying you off, they will.

If you have an opportunity to better yourself, never feel guilty about taking it.
