Thanks for the reply!
Yes you’re right. I did mention high-yield savings do have 4%+ in my post but there are a few notes on those.
Usually they require someone be 18+ years old and usually have a higher minimum deposit requirement than a regular savings account.
Even at 4.5%, it’s close to break-even with inflation (reported CPI is a bit lower but actual real world expenses are closer to 10% or higher year-over-year).

2024-06-18 02:59:09

When I was young, a savings account mattered. My parents helped me open one up with maybe $50 and the interest rate was 4%+ and inflation was under 4%, real returns were 0% at worst, usually 1-2%. Not shabby.
It was rewarding to deposit money I earned from reselling candy, marbles, cards, even a slightly used chess set and reinvesting and putting the rest in my savings account.
I actually saw that account grow in value over the years and witnessed the power of compounding.
Today, a regular savings account still yields a 0.01% interest rate (just checked Bank of America’s website).
What’s the motivation for a kid (or anyone) to put money away when interest rates are basically zero?
Now add to that the normalization and ever increasing rate of inflation. Earning 0.01% interest (even 4%+ on high-yield savings accounts) when CPI is near 4%, but we all know it’s likely over 10% for most people results in a devastating and crushing reality whether people know it or not.
There’s little chance for an average kid to generate wealth without learning to buy valuable assets, become a top earner in their field, or own a profitable business. Subjects not taught in most schools.
It should be easier for people to save their hard earned money and be rewarded for saving rather than recklessly spending.
The only solutions I found are: control your costs/spending (includes student debt) and own a profitable business, become a leader in your industry so your income grows at or above the rate of inflation, and buy hard assets (acquire rental property, gold, S&P 500 index funds, #bitcoin).
The allocation to one or many of the above depends on the person. Some aren’t suited to own a business, others might stress out investing in stocks or bitcoin. Find what works for you. I highly encourage everyone to spend a few hours every week learning and seeing what fits.
Hope this post helps at least one person. It’s something I wish someone would have told me when I was younger!

I would agree with that. Basically no money printing = no inflation = no asset appreciation.
I guess I think about it differently as I’ve always tried to grow a business and think of it from that angle. From this perspective it’s an active growth vs a static asset (gold in your example) whose value is mainly derived from inflation fears.
I guess the equivalent in macro scale would be gdp. My productivity growth = business growth = capital gains
Does that make sense?

I would say inflation rather than capital gains tax.
Capital gains tax is just the price you pay for participating in capitalism.

Pork butt phase 1 complete!
No trimming, just scoring. Seasoned and placed on the grill.
The nice thing about pellet #smokers is how hands off it is. I do miss pulling all nighters at times and obsessing about the details but 95% chill and 5% work is worth it for a negligible difference in taste from a traditional smoker.
Now sitting back while the smoker does its thing and I enjoy watching the rest of the #ufc fight tonight. Oh, by the way, congrats on the win @npub1wv7…xye0 !

*high five* I think pellet smokers do better with lower temps. Traditional smokers likely do better with higher temps, what pittmasters like Aaron Franklin might say they use. Doesn’t hurt to try!

It’s definitely a balance.
I guess it depends on what point in life you’re in. If you’re trying to get something off the ground and/or maximize youth, I believe putting in max effort is key.
When you achieve success (whatever that means to you), you might considering slowing down and getting things more in balance.

I started late once and went to 250, didn’t come out very good. Definitely try going lower for longer, 300 seems a bit too hot from the start. I think you’ll get better results. I forgot to mention I do crank the temp after foil up to 275-325 depending how late it’s getting. I use butcher paper on brisket, never tried it on the butt.

Hi Chris! Over the years I’ve tried 5+ ways at least 3 times each.
What’s worked best for me is lowest setting for an hour (approx 160° in my case) then I bump up to 180° for another hour then 200° until internal temp is around 185°.
I then wrap it in foil until internal temp is around 205°. Take out and rest minimum 20 mins.
Every hour or so I spritz which apple cider vinegar, not sure if this really works ha, sometimes I don’t even do it and comes out the similar. I also keep a pan with water in from the beginnings

Been a while but back doing a pulled pork on the pellet smoker!
Life goes by fast and just keeps speeding up as time goes by.
It’s worth slowing down sometimes. That’s why I really enjoy #bbq. It forces you to shift down and go low and slow, at least for a little while.
The results are worth it and the memories shared with loved ones are ones you’ll likely cherish.

The question for those that come to this realization is: What do I save or invest in?
There’s only a few choices that meet or beat inflation. I think you hit on the better option.
To be fair, real estate purchased at a discount and used for cash flow can be a good investment since you can use heavy leverage (OPM) and take advantage of the depreciation. Key is buying below value and that’s just very difficult to find unless you find a sucker willing to to sell (think of those “we buy ugly houses” folks) or you’re in the industry and people call you first with good opportunities.
For most people though, they’ll just go to MLS/zillow and that’s just difficult to compete in and returns will likely not beat even S&P 500.

Unpopular opinion: Real estate isn’t a good investment.
Most people buy real estate to buy the home they live in, not to use as a rental property for cash flow.
Buying a home can cost you hundreds of thousands, or even millions, over the long term.
Even with a low fixed interest rate, ever increasing property taxes and insurance rates, home improvements, maintenance and repairs will negate most equity growth over time.
Renting might be a better option for most and you are not locked in if you decide to move on to a different part of town or get a job in a different state. Plus, the property headaches belong to the landlord or property manager which are just a phone call away.
Of course, there are exceptions but in general, I believe the above to be true for most.

I’ve been doing it in “fiat land” for almost 20 years and have worked on all kinds of projects and budgets, mostly in the US but also worked on projects in the Caribbean, Central and South America (fluent in Spanish).
Also, as a distributor with direct access to lighting fixtures, fans, and controls I can get you the best pricing there too! If interested, let me know.
First time offering my services for Bitcoin and I’m excited to do so!
Anyone know how to best get the word out?
Any questions DM me or reach out via my contact info in my profile.

What if someone high up, likely these hedge fund MSTR shorts, started this Saylor rumor (or even leaked it if true) as a reason to drive the spread down on MSTR/BTC trade?
Attacking Saylor is the only way to get that trade to work because anything else harms BTC and both lose and hedgies make less.

Hi Nostr!
Know anyone that needs help with the lighting in their home or business?
I’d like to offer my architectural lighting design consultation and services to fellow Nostr friendly folks in exchange for #Bitcoin.
I’ve been doing it in “fiat land” for almost 20 years and have worked on all kinds of projects and budgets, mostly in the US but also worked on projects in the Caribbean, Central and South America (fluent in Spanish).
Also, as a distributor with direct access to lighting fixtures, fans, and controls I can get you the best pricing there too! If interested, let me know.
First time offering my services for Bitcoin and I’m excited to do so!
Anyone know how to best get the word out?
Any questions DM me or reach out via my contact info in my profile.
Thanks!

High ceilings and walls of glass dominating your space? Don't forget the lighting!
With soaring vertical heights it's easy for even the most breathtaking modern homes to feel somber and dim if lighting is an afterthought.

Tired of dated recessed lighting in your modern home? Trimless is the answer!
For truly seamless, architecturally-pure spaces free of visual clutter, designers are ditching dated recessed trims in favor of trimless fixtures that virtually disappear into the ceiling:
• Square or round trimless openings maintain uninterrupted ceiling planes
• Tailored optics deliver crisp uniform output without hotspots
• Advanced LED sources crank out high lumen output from compact apertures
• Smart dimming from 100% to 1% or lower blackout with the right controls
• Efficient low-wattage illumination slashing energy costs
Trimless recessed lighting does require additional labor but it's well worth it if your space is in dire need of a design overhaul.
Standard builder-grade recessed housings were never intended for refined, elevated illumination. If old halogen (or heaven forbid fluorescent) yellowing or boxy trims cheapen your modern composition, it's time to upgrade.

A great excerpt from Philip L. Carret, one of Warren Buffett’s hero’s, explaining why inflation is “very bad” and how we’d been better off sticking with a gold backed currency.
From the book “The Mutual Fund Masters”. Phil was 97 years old at the time of the interview. https://image.nostr.build/370d83075308b5c123c9072a56e2431ad8eb9086fa6c720355dfa46e8fc90caf.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7e6de6b6564d568ebe437083b59557798930cf57e360fa83024c00f8a142bfa6.jpg

Great video on what it’s like living in Cuba today, how broken the Cuban peso is, and the challenges of trying to use better money.
