Starting the week amongst the Douglas-fir pounding miles and elevation. Also buying the S&P 500 everyday.
There's a difference between being set and being done.
Set means the foundation is solid.
Done means you stopped building.
• My 401K match is maxed
• My HSA is funded
• My retirement is covered
My Roth IRA is about more freedom and security.
"So you took financial advice from a 19 year old who drives a rented Lamborghini?"
"He seemed very confident, Dave."
"They always do."
"I'm staying at the hotel, Dave."
Anthropic just pulled Claude Code from the Pro plan.
Pro users wanting it need Max now.
$100/month minimum. 5x jump.
I'm on Max 20x so I'm fine.
Flagging for anyone on Pro who's about to find out.
No announcement. Just a pricing page edit.
Just added a small position of $RR to my taxable account.
Richtech Robotics is deploying real robots into restaurants, hotels, and casinos already.
Good showing at CES. Partnership with $NVDA. A presentation at the White House next to $TSLA.
Small bet, long horizon.

$VOO down about $5 overnight on the back of the mess in the Middle East.
Probably going to start the day in the red.
I’ll be buying this discount in the morning.
“So you are sitting by the pool on a Sunday and not working to pay off all of your debt?”
“Shut up, Dave.”
“Do you even have $1,000 emergency fund?”
“It’s the weekend, Dave.”
