I’ve always wondered what it’s like to be a billionaire. The yachts, the private chefs, the spontaneous trips to Paris just because the weather looks nice. But since I’m not a billionaire (far from it, actually), I decided to do the next best thing—fake it. For one full week, I was going to live like […]
Credit Card Perks Nobody Uses, But Should
I used to think credit cards were just there to make me spend money I didn’t have. Then one day, I realized they could actually be a cheat code for life. Not in the “get rich quick” kind of way, but in the wait, that was free? way. Most people don’t even scratch the surface […]
AI Girlfriends, Virtual Friends, and the Rise of Digital Companionship—Are We Replacing Real People?
I was scrolling online the other day and saw a guy say his AI girlfriend saved his life. Not in some sci-fi, futuristic way—just through daily texts, emotional support, and actual conversations that, according to him, felt real. At first, I thought, okay, that’s weird. But the more I looked into it, the more I […]
Why Are Grocery Prices Still So High? (And Will They Ever Go Down?)
I walked into the grocery store the other day, grabbed a cart full of nothing special, and by the time I got to checkout, the total was somehow $100. No fancy steaks. No imported truffle oil. Just normal, boring food. At this point, buying groceries feels like paying rent. 🥚 Eggs? Basically a luxury item […]
Why Are People Buying Ugly Sneakers? The Rise of ‘Anti-Fashion’ Trends
I saw a guy the other day rocking a pair of $1,000 sneakers that looked like they had been through a war. Scuffed, torn, laces barely hanging on—but it was all intentional. Not just any sneakers, though. Balenciaga’s Paris Sneaker—a designer shoe that looks like it was rescued from a dumpster but somehow sells out […]
The Side Hustle Boom: More Money or Just More Work?
“Just Start a Side Hustle!”—Easier Said Than Done A few weeks ago, a friend texted me: “Bro, you need a side hustle. You’re leaving money on the table.” I glanced at my coffee-stained desk, already drowning in work emails, and thought, Yeah, because what I really need is more things to do. The idea of […]
Buy Now, Pay Later: A Financial Hack or a Debt Trap?
The Shoes Were Calling My Name… It started innocently. A late-night online shopping spree. A pair of sneakers I definitely didn’t need but absolutely had to have. I hovered over the checkout button, prepared to say goodbye to $150 in one painful hit—when suddenly, a new option appeared: “Pay in 4 easy installments of $37.50 […]
Can AI Take Over Your Finances? The Rise of AI-Powered Money Management
So, Can a Robot Really Handle My Money? A few months ago, I found myself Googling “best budgeting apps” after realizing my coffee addiction was costing me the equivalent of a car payment each month. A friend suggested I try Cleo, an AI-powered budgeting assistant that could “roast me” into better financial habits. I was […]
Fractional Investing: How You Can Own a Slice of Amazon, Tesla… or Even a Picasso!
I know the feeling all too well. You log into your brokerage app, excited to start investing, only to see stocks like Amazon, Tesla, and Google priced so high that they might as well be sold on another planet. I remember when I first tried to buy Amazon stock back in 2018. I was ready […]
AI Trading: Can Artificial Intelligence Really Help You Beat the Market?
Once a moonless night, I sat staring at my brokerage account, watching a stock I had painstakingly researched drop 12% in a single afternoon. I had read the earnings reports, checked the trends, even watched hours of analyst videos. Yet, here I was—losing money while some algorithm somewhere was executing thousands of perfect trades per […]
The Wild World of Meme Coins: When Internet Jokes Become Investments
A few years ago, I sat across from my best friend at a coffee shop, both of us glued to our phones. He had just tossed $500 into Dogecoin, laughing as he did it. “It’s just a joke,” he said. “If I lose it, whatever. If it blows up, I’m retiring early.” I rolled my […]
How to Trade Options on Robinhood: A Step-by-Step Playbook
