I know a guy who:
– Is in mid-40s
– Earns $10–30M annually in finance
– Lives in a 6-bed, 10-bath estate
– Flies on a Gulfstream
– Saves 75% of his income
– Invests heavily in PE and MLPs
– Hit FI more than 10 years ago

Still makes his own lunch. No wife. No kids.

What advice would you give him?

Enjoy this gorgeous image that my 87-year-old dad shot tonight in Huntington Beach. Proud of his talent, and most of all proud of his heart.

All three major U.S. stock market indices closed 2025 with modest gains. The Nasdaq Composite rose about 20%, the S&P 500 gained roughly 16%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the year up around 13%.

How did your portfolio perform last year?

Is it time to rebalance?

No to foreign interference, no to exploitation masked as “freedom.” Every nation deserves the right to chart its own path. ✊🏽

I just bought a 7 bedroom, 10 bath, 12,000 sq ft palace in the suburbs outside Caracas for $115,000. All cash, waived all contingencies, sight unseen. Will visit over the summer. Betting on a turnaround here. Don’t call me an imperialist. I’m just a value investor.

If my house was burning & I could only grab 3 things this would be one of the 3. A Christmas present from 2023. 🎄 My daughters wrote little notes about their love for me & placed them in this mason jar. This is worth more to me than any thing I’ve ever bought with money. 💯❤️

No matter when you plan to retire, having a solid financial strategy is essential. Make sure your income in retirement can comfortably support your expenses and lifestyle. Open to having an insightful discussion on this topic!

Politics aside, consistency matters. Criticism carries more weight when the same standards are applied across the board.
Rep. Russell Fry on Democrats criticizing Trump for illegally renaming the Kennedy Center: "I just find this incredibly rich coming from the party that spray paints monuments, desecrates memorials, tears down statues."

Your cable and streaming prices could go up.

How? Nexstar is trying to buy a competitor, Tegna. And the Trump admin could give it the greenlight.

Nexstar-Tegna would control TV stations reaching 80% of TV households. 80%!

With one company dominating, they could raise prices.

The politicians argue that the deal will "increase costs, drive job losses, and harm local journalism" in a letter to Brendan Carr and Gail Slater.
