Dad Hack: Drive a beat up car
As a dad, I have less than zero capacity to care about how my car looks
So my dad-mobile (minivan) came scratched up when I bought it
- Cheap
- Zero stress
- No one will ever steal it

"But—in a way—spot Bitcoin ETFs undermine the mission of Bitcoin in the first place. Bitcoin was created in response to the Great Financial Crisis and to give owners access to a trustless monetary system that doesn’t rely on government or third-parties to facilitate transactions"
"Bitcoin is designed to be self-custodied and used independent of traditional financial markets—and spot Bitcoin ETFs are simply wrapping self-sovereign assets into the very same market it was designed to avoid."

You should have a healthy distrust of these industries:
- Healthcare
- Education
- Technology
- Financial services

Teaching is giving.
Learning is growing.
I love that I get to wake up and teach others on a daily basis.

"Enough"
A concept that I didn't understand until recently.
For me (financially) -- enough is:
- My business covers the bills and then some
- Investments will feed me when I'm older
- I can choose when to spend time with my family
What is your "enough"?
