  • I’ll never understand people begging to stylishly go to prison. Who are these plastic, dead-eyed posers? How is anyone this disconnected from the concept of stealth wealth?

    After cutting my teeth in the business world, I’ve seen people hide away money they have no right to. They take their families on extended sailing trips. They attend parties where everyone else is also wearing many thousands of dollars. Their cars are old models with aftermarket replacement parts that run like a dream. They have vacation homes in places where filming is discouraged. They don’t buy their business partners gaudy gifts like they’re courting a royal marriage.

    It’s not acceptable to evade taxes and hoard money (my money no longer allows deals with such people), but if you’re going to do all that nonsense why choose to go tell on yourself?

    I yelled at another neighbor today.

    Today was such a shit show, man.

    It was beautiful outside. I woke up feeling rested, maybe a bit sore from some physical therapy on my spine. I retired super young and life is pretty nice for me… now. Still, I got a weird feeling when I was putting on my socks, as if something around me was off. I couldn’t put my finger on it.

    You know what’s fun on sunny days? Taking my two cats for walks. I got my lady cat in a harness, told her little sister to be patient, and walked out to the porch. My back was hurting all the way up to my neck (so much that I can’t turn my head to the right even now, late in the evening).

    As I stretched and watched my ginger girl flop around in the garden, the unthinkable happened. The retractable leash slipped from my grasp, and it started chasing her. I was in a back brace, holding onto a railing, twisting my spine in a such a way that takes a moment to untwist. She shot off like a rocket, up my driveway and onto the back patio before I could even get down

  • So… the longer rentals aren’t rented, the higher prices go until the local rental economy collapses and properties get sold off to decentralized management firms, who are willing to gentrify a group of properties until they can raise the rent floor on everyone.
