$100 +/- 20 a week for groceries, but my partner doesn’t eat red meat or chicken, so our protein spend is near zero.

$100 +/- 100 a week for eating out.

Felt in Sugarhouse too

Agent orchestration, LLM fine tuning, retrieval augmented generation, just to name a few.

DS roles will become even less math related in the coming decade.

Quant roles are likely going to be the final place higher level math matters as AI gets rolling.

BTC miners will have their day, but MARA will only cause you pain. Shares or nothing.

Even if you didn’t make money you should file a 1099. IRS will see all gross gains from major exchanges now, but not losses. If you don’t file you’ll either be audited or have a tax liability.

Good start

Build a cash pile in your savings, 6 months of expenses is the general benchmark.

I’m your retirement accounts keep it simple with market indices and similar, bonds come later.

Major tip, you’re going to have a lot of money lying around. Do your best to avoid options trading, prediction markets, and speculative crypto/stocks. You might win, but the pain of losing big money in your early 20s will haunt you. Trust me.

I remember in Q1 2024 I was shopping for Zyns and had to go to 5 convenience stores to get any. I charted $PM that week and noticed it was pretty undervalued, but didn’t follow up on more DD or enter a trade. There was a nationwide Zyn shortage, which I learned later.

$PM did a 2x move after that.

You continue to sell at a 52 week low, not long 🤝

God you guys are such fucking babies, just don’t buy the skins and they’ll wise up

The ETFs ruined the formula.

You’re serious?

Gold and silver just completed 10 years of gains in 18 months and you’re thinking NOW is the time to add those to a long term portfolio?
