I am a little late getting this out, I’ve been traveling for almost two months now. I took 8 shots of the autopens with me and I’ve burned thru them all but one which I will use next week. The good news is that I have lost weight while traveling. It hasn’t been hard, I...| Get Rich Slick!
I have been on a long journey through Europe, Middle East and now in Asia. I am excited and happy to report that I think I have found my retirement home outside the United States. I won’t reveal the location yet because now the real work begins and I don’t want even a few dozen people snapping up the real estate before I get a chance to buy my own property or two. | Get Rich Slick!
The great news is I lost 5 lbs in August but it may have been more due to COVID than Zepbound. Mid-August I picked up my first ever case of COVID and I didn’t eat much for 3 days. I took Paxlovid and recovered after five days and gained back a pound or two which...| Get Rich Slick!
I am fortunate in that I don’t have too many people asking me for money. Throughout most of my lifetime I’ve actually only been hit up for money about a dozen times but….| Get Rich Slick!
In 1994 a movie entitled, Four Weddings and a Funeral was released and became a huge hit worldwide. I vaguely remember that movie but I never forgot the title and hadn’t thought about it since this year when I’ll have attended four funerals by the time the year ends and no weddings.| Get Rich Slick!
Fidelity released their annual retiree health care estimate and rather than write a post about it, my favorite bond blogger recently published a video worth watching if you’re planning on retiring soon or are already in retirement. With the ever growing cost of health care insurance and the already ridiculously priced health care services, it’s more important than ever to plan for your health retirement future.| Get Rich Slick!
The administration signed a new rule around alternative investments in 401k’s today. The summary is below and I asked AI to give me a risk matrix for anyone considering adding speculation to your 401k.| Get Rich Slick!
In late February of 2024, I wrote a post entitled, “The Number 1 Skill To Have Now – AI” that outlined what I think would happen with AI over a long enough time frame. Specifically, I wrote the following:| Get Rich Slick!
Oh you poor souls, I never knew how bad you had it but I do now and I’m so sorry for you. About a year ago, I read an article entitled, “Everyone Hates Workday” by Business Insider. Here is a key excerpt from the whole article:| Get Rich Slick!
I’m officially back home but I’ve already booked a trip to Europe and will be hoping around the world. I booked my return ticket for February 2026 but I’m not sure if I’ll be traveling that much yet or not. I wanted the flexibility since I’ll be back in Europe next year so I’ll use that as my return ticket. | Get Rich Slick!
I’ve been in South America now for almost two weeks and having a great time. This is part vacation and part exploration for retiring overseas that I’ve talked about here, here and here. | Get Rich Slick!
$4000! That’s how much I paid for my 3 month supply of 10mg Zepbound this last time. You may be asking why so let me tell you. At the end of May I was laid off from work so my health insurance ended and I switched to my wife’s plan which does NOT cover Zepbound! I did have an option of extending COBRA under my old employer but the insurance premiums weren’t going to be subsidized so that meant paying $2000/month for health insurance then paying $2000 or maybe less for the Zepbo...| Get Rich Slick!
My de-cluttering project has slowed. There are too many books, photo frames, and other objects that have “sentimental” value to my wife that it’s make the process slow. We talked about moving things to storage but I can already see that this stuff will sit there in storage for years before it ever gets touched again and it makes me think it’s a waste. | Get Rich Slick!
Well today was my last day at work but don’t feel sorry for me as I got a generous severance package. And it came at the perfect time, right before summer so I can take a very long vacation traveling South America where it’s nice and cool.| Get Rich Slick!
As I get closer to retirement, I’m getting really excited but there will be some “lambs” that will need to be sacrificed to make retirement work and last. So I’ve been taking inventory of things that I/we are willing to go without. Here’s a partial list:| Get Rich Slick!
