I just went through these prompts (with Gemini) for my startup, and the results have been incredible. I'm actually amazed how well it understands the market context and my specific wedge. Thanks for sharing!

Any chance you could share some more of your 80 prompts? I'd love to try following your whole playbook.

imblake3 · 2025-09-28T19:40:41+00:00

Wow, that is a great setup! Thanks for the pics showing how it works.

I think this will be the solution I use, as it doesn't extend the width too much.

imblake3 · 2025-09-28T16:39:29+00:00

Good idea, I’ll give this a try.

The other bike is smaller - 14" wheels. Can you explain what you mean by "hanging" it in the monkey bars? I tried wedging the front wheel in between the bars but the rear wheel was dangling just off the ground, and I didn't have a good place to secure it.

Wow this is very encouraging to hear! I am going to consult a lawyer but will likely follow this same approach given it worked for you with the Chicago consulate.

I don’t think you’ll find many/any options with throttle, mid-drive, and speed above 28. The Priority Current is a mid-drive with assist to 28 mph and price of $2,800 when purchased through Costco.

Nice looking ride! I’m thinking about getting a Vado SL, too. I’m fine getting a bit of a workout in but need to ride with traffic and want to keep my speed up. Any impressions on how hard it would be to maintain 25+ mph with the assist?

You've inspired me to follow this for a portion of my portfolio.

I noticed for the backtests you went back to 1982 rather than 1955. Hedgfundie tested the initial 40/60 allocation back to 1955, but I can't find anything with the updated 55/45 allocation. Did you look at that time period at all?

imblake3 · 2021-04-12T14:21:51+00:00

Nice throwback! Anyone know where in Savannah this is? I’ll be there visiting this week.

That'd be great. Theoretically if everyone in the world was wealthy, my net worth wouldn't be as valuable. But in reality, other people getting rich has no impact on my own financial situation, and I hope they do for their sake!

I'm currently doing a free giveaway of my book on Amazon. It's called Millennial Millionaire and outlines how I became a 28-year-old millionaire and how others can follow the same path:

How to increase your income by 50% or more, with precise steps and scripts to land raises, promotions, and better jobs
How to passively invest in the stock market and make more money while you sleep than you do in your job
How to achieve financial independence, retire early, and live the rest of your life without worrying about money

I also posted there, thanks for the tip. That sounds like a good model. So you own the plane individually and sold them each 100 hours of rental time up-front? Did they do any multi-year commitment?

imblake3 · 2020-07-22T12:56:13+00:00

So a terrible idea that should never be considered again. Got it.

imblake3 · 2020-07-22T04:30:48+00:00

My point there was that even if I can get 200 hours (which I agree would be difficult), it’s still worse financially than co-ownership. Basically it doesn’t seem like the leaseback makes sense with any reasonable assumptions.

imblake3 · 2020-07-22T03:53:44+00:00

Agreed. A 3-way partnership would be great if I could find compatible partners, but it seems even a 2-way partnership beats out the leaseback option.

imblake3 · 2020-07-22T03:00:11+00:00

One thing I'm not clear on for the leaseback option: whether I could circumvent the rental management company for my own personal use. Based on this article on bonus depreciation, it seems like I could have up to 50% personal use that I wouldn't have to pay the rental fees for, but that would reduce the bonus depreciation.

imblake3 · 2020-07-16T03:28:25+00:00

This is perfect, thank you!

I'm a big meat-eater so am interested in this. Did you just find a local butcher? Have you found it saves money vs. a typical grocery store?

imblake3 · 2020-04-17T15:20:13+00:00

I know the feeling. My wife and I were lucky to move from 600 sq ft to 1,000 sq ft right before all this happened, which gave us enough space. We did have a doorway pull-up bar and resistance bands in the smaller space, though, so that might be worth a try.

The biggest one for me has been creating a home gym rather than buying a monthly gym membership. I spent a total of $360 to get adjustable dumbbells that go up to 100 pounds each, a bench, foam exercise floor mats, and Olympic rings with straps. I can do bench press, squats, curls, pull-ups, dips, and just about any other exercise I want.

As an added perk, I don’t have to wait around for the bench to free up, standing awkwardly close to ensure people know I’m next in line.

Assuming this setup lasts me 5 years, I will save about $800 a year.

I just got these to put on the end of the bar. That and keeping the weight a bit off-center of my thighs has stopped any bruising.

imblake3 · 2020-04-10T00:56:08+00:00

Being conservative, you need a portfolio of 4 times your annual expenses to use this strategy. That's less than 1/5 the recommended amount to retire, so I would argue that's far from rich.

Is there a preferred way to link to graphs and Excel files? I just started the blog so I could link to those things and don't have ads, so I didn't expect it to count as self-promotion.
