The next recession will not start with the tech bubble, this will pop after: 1. All the Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) loans mature in the next 5 years & inflation is still sky high. 2. All the dipshit wanna be stock traders who took out a HELOC to finance their leveraged crypto 🙃

What's with all the Toyota drivers around here being allergic to turning on their headlights. It's not just the typical Prius drivers. 🤔 The only others I've seen doing this are driving a BMW, but no surprise there. 😅

NEXUS pass renewed with the bonus of no interview required 👌 Just happy Canada has not told the U.S. citizens to take a hike yet on that program.

I dreamed last night I had left my corporate IT job to go work a less brain intensive part time job at Costco. In the dream I had achieved enough financial independence & only needed the healthcare benefits, not the pay. It felt like a good dream, but reflecting on it, it's pretty fucked-up...😅

The U.S. really baffles logic with how it economically works. Wall Street wants to see less jobs, because more jobs = higher inflation / higher borrowing cost aka rate hikes. Jobs numbers came in x2 above expectations today (which is probably BS & will get revised down).

The new Pixel phone looks sad. Less RAM, took away the IR temp sensor for some stupid lighting. Pretty much a downgrade all around. Might have better battery life with the new chipset but noticed they also downgraded the fast charging wattage.

The big box grocery stores price gouging is insane.... I'm glad I've found some alternatives. Not to mention the dynamic pricing digital price tag nonsense Safeway/Albertsons has rolled out 🖕 10oz bag of pistachios. Safeway, $16.99. Grocery outlet, $5.69. exact same brand/bag 🙃

I shouldn't be surprised. The local Auto mechanic shop tried to sell me on replacing my PCV valve for ~$450 when I had my 60k maintenance done.... It's literally a $40 part & a 5 minute job 🙃 took less time than changing my oil. Yeah I don't think I'll be going back to that place.

This new trend of Realtors using AI to post both totally fake or "enhanced" versions of the property they are selling should be 100% illegal. So many #Zillow listings with AI generated/modified photos is insane to me...

Felt weird, not bad, just weird to update my profile from "late 30's" to "early 40's" 😅 in a way it felt refreshing. I wasn't a fan of my 20's or 30's. Here's hoping for a good 40's

Submitted renewal of my NEXUS pass. The last time I had to do that was during COVID and they didn't bother to force me to come in for an interview. Really hoping they do the same this time as well. 🤞

Lot of stress right now between work, doggo having surgery, & my mom refusing to let me help her treat her alzheimer's. So decided to book a vacation back to Mexico in early December. 😅 Honestly though all inclusive with first class air travel the cost is under ~3k. Not bad at all.

This article talking about how the drop in home prices are bad for retirees who are house rich, cash poor...No, just no. A home is a place to live, it's not a retirement/investment account. All these people (authors/retirees) can fuck all the way off.

So jobs number come out way above expectations which causes the stock market to nose drive. Gotta love how our economy works. Wall Street wants less job all because it means it may lower rates 🙃 I can assure you, anyone looking for a job is like...WTF?!? My guess is those number will be adjusted ↓
