When one says "men are taller than women", no smart person believes you mean "all men".
That's a ridiculous proposition.
Yes, some women are taller than men, but that exception doesn't disprove the rule.

For me, sleep is the force multiplier.
Everything good happens downstream from sleep...
I exercise well: morning walk, afternoon weights, 3 rounds of boxing, 1 hour skating & stretching.
I eat well: lean meats, fats and vegetables

My hot take:
Sharing income and assets only makes sense if both (or all) parties generate income from the same venture.
Not just “we’re in a relationship” or “we love each other.”
That’s sentiment, not structure.

"I don’t have the money" isn’t a real reason — it’s a reflex.

CPI is such a dumb metric.
No investor wants to "invest" $50,000 into eggs or their rent.
Real investors want to throw that $50,000 into store-of-value assets.
CPI doesn’t track wealth. CPI just measures the speed of the leak.

Yet a new report shows that $38.2 billion of remittances were made in 2024 mostly to India and China.

Forget rental income, dividends, and high-yield savings accounts…
Corporate jobs are the real "passive income".
I know plenty of people who sit in their chairs for 40 hours a week watching Netflix or OnlyFans.
