I like the idea of financial freedom, but I hate how it is marketed.
Financial freedom shouldn't be about escaping from something.
It should be about building a life you don't need to escape from in the first place.
The “Indiana only lost to Ohio State and ND” line is tired. Neither of those games were close.
Respect for winning 11 games, yes. Historical season. Congrats.
But I would not lump them into the same level as Oregon, Texas, Penn State, Georgia, ND, or Ohio State.
My first day as a financial advisor, 8/1/1996, s&p 500 closed at about 650.
Today over 5k
7.75x. And it doesn’t include dividends.
The market is amazing

I recently read Same as Ever by @MorganHousel.
It was a phenomenal read packed full of timeless wisdom.
Here are 25 of my favorite quotes from the book:

▪Advisors deserve to be paid.
▪Clients deserve to know what they're paying.

It's the time of year to remind Wall Street forecasters that finance runs through Kansas.
Nearing year-end, our 2023 predictions remain perfect.
2024 predictions: incoming.
In the meantime, consider following us to support decency in personal finance.

From the extremely limited sample size, I’m not seeing the “hype” of devin brown being a better option than Kyle McCord right now.
Limited sample against marshmallows and McCord just looks better suited.

Some thinks I'm thinking from NBC news last night.
1. They showed pictures of people carrying the casket of one of the Uvalde victims. One of the pall bearers has a side arm on his hip.
They go on to talk about Biden and how "worried" he is about his approval ratings and how there is tension in the White House, which just goes to the core of the problem with governments...

Instant reactions to Ohio state’s loss…
1. 612 yards and 28 points is tragic. Had two trips inside the oregon 40 and came up empty.
2. Drops are not your friend when you are a pass catching person.
8. Excuses are for losers. So blaming this on injuries doesn’t sit well. The “next man up” needs to improve and fast. Angles. Assignments, keys, responsibilities, etc. What I saw wasn’t a lack of ability. It looked more like a lack of knowledge
