We’re in a risk-on season of life. But even now, we’re asking: what could we live without? And what can’t we imagine letting go? Before you’re forced to choose, it helps to know.

White House: No they aren’t.

Amazon: *shows prices with tariffs*

White House: This is a hostile and political act!

So, like what’s going to happen first? A massive trade announcement that sends markets ripping, or reports of empty store shelves that send them lower? Because I feel like that’s what we’re all waiting for.

There are so many things to comment on, but this one drives me crazy. In business and life, how you speak to someone matters. Calling people names and talking down is the easiest way to signal you’re an ineffective leader. And justifying it signals something far worse.

So the Art of the Deal is letting every country on earth know that if they raise interest rates by dumping US Treasuries, we will fold.

Social media is my coping mechanism. I tell silly jokes and post memes to deal with the uncertainty of the markets and life. My wife, is different. I’m sure you are, too.

Be careful of money “experts” who try to convince you that their way of doing things is the best way. You’re probably just being sold something. Most decisions around money are completely subjective. Do what works for you and plan accordingly.

How can you not be excited for the week ahead? Who are we going to tariff next? Who is going to tariff us? Perhaps we’ll invade a country. Maybe we’ll rename the Atlantic Ocean. Anything can happen!
