CJ McCollum has made nearly $300,000,000 in the NBA and still flies on credit card points because he’s afraid of going broke
“I had a fear and a paranoia that I was gonna go broke. I always fear like everybody goes broke, so I’m not going to spend money”
“I bought like a $6,000 chain, a big cross, but that was really it. I was afraid… This trip here, I used points to come to New York”
“Points for the trip and for the stay, and gave me $450 in food and beverage”

If you’re at CES, avoid the slot machines at the Las Vegas Airport (LAS).
The worst slot odds in the city.
Here’s why: Nevada requires a minimum payout of 75% on slots ($0.75 for every $1.00). But most of the devices in Las Vegas casinos will actually do 90%+ payouts to keep people coming back.
However, the primary players on the airport slots are tourists coming in and out infrequently. So, these machines stick to closer to the minimum 75% payout rate (the official parlance is RTP aka “return to player”).
Then you factor in how many people will throw in a bet just to get one more Vegas dopamine hit or "try to win back some of the losses".
Installed in 1986, the airport slot machines have made its owner $1B+ in lifetime revenue. It’s now ~$30m+ a year on self-serve devices…which is a next-level passive income stream (and I’ve definitely got got a few times).

Wild - it worked for me for a dummy trip to RDU airport. $16.50 for a spot 400 ft away from the Terminal 1 dropoff vs $23 for the Terminal 1 dropoff. Uber applied a 30% off coupon for the 1st trip but not the 2nd trip.
Gonna exploit this going forward!

TIL my wife is using ChatGPT to find coupon codes for web stores online. She said it works almost every time without ad-ridden websites filled with old codes—I’ve literally never once considered using an LLM for this but now it seems obvious.
