I found out a great friend died this morning. What a shock. This “money thing” is truly about time. Specifically spending time on what you value. We never know when the road ends, so use your $$$ for more mindful time with those you love.

“One Of Them Days” felt like a “Friday” remake with two brilliant women as the leads. Very funny film. 7/10.

At Cinemark to watch a comedy flick. 30 mins of horror movie previews beforehand. Movie hasn’t begun and I’m checked out.

Annoying: when people say, “Don’t surround yourself with good financial people because you’re smart enough to do this yourself.” Of course you are. That’s not at all the point. Smart people surround themselves with smart people and focus on their unique talent.

My advice for negotiating? I’ve always liked “the cube.” You sit on one side while they are on the other. If you can describe their side of the cube, you’ll win the negotiation. What do they want? How do you make their life better?

Going to conferences made this second “career” of mine roll. If you think you can’t afford them, I think you aren’t thinking hard enough about ROI.

Seeing my Canadian friends posting about their big win last night over the “11th Province” is hilarious, especially after the pre-game tweet from DJT.

The first habit of wealthy people is that they think in SYSTEMS and not in ACTIONS. Actions denote discipline (hard to maintain), but systems mean that you work on it once and good things magically happen again and again and again. Action = saving. System = signing up for automatic investing.

If people were as fired up about financial illiteracy in the U.S. as they are about the Gulf of Mexico’s name/not name, we’d all be swimming in cash.

I just received an email from a Stacker who's looking to join our STACKED Success Sessions, but wants an accountability buddy to do it with her (split the cost and work together on assignments). If that's YOU, I'll connect you. What are the Success Sessions? Https://stackingbenjamins.com/sessions

Retirement isn't some date WAY in the future if you want to retire successfully. Ask yourself, "What do I want to do next?" and use vacations and time away to explore and experiment. By beginning retirement today, your future is brighter than your past, and you'll find longevity and happiness.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about things we can’t control. The first trick is to control what you can. THEN influence when/what you’re able. The hardest part? If you can’t control or influence, ignore the rest.

A good friend's dad died today. It's a reminder that MONEY is a commodity, and it's to buy moments, experiences, and freedom. We can't make more time.

New research suggests something I don't find surprising: travel can fight off early aging signs. I believe this is more due to having a "growth" mindset than travel. Keep your future brighter than your past and you will more probably live longer.

AI has been a fantastic breath of fresh air for us. Creatively? Not at all. Total suck. Editing/revising/questioning? Amazing. In financial plans, AI is still dangerous because it's 100% wrong (and confidently) so often. But I'd love to know...how are YOU using AI currently?

If you have a history of being foul and mean, people are going to eyeroll when you report that other people are “foul and mean” to you. Of course they are. What comes around…

Hey! We're at 100 people in this little backwoods spot! So, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Joe. I used to be horrible with money. I learned financial rules apply to me, too. I got my act together and moved to media. Our podcast has been ranked #1 PF by Kiplinger and Bankrate, among others.
