Workout in, empty gym! Thinking… Wednesday is often circuit day, what if I split these up over the week?
At work, it was a networking event. Alllll women. Social media account people. What do I know? Well, apparently, quite a bit about the content creation tools. FCP, DaVinci, Zapier, etc. Interesting conversations.
Wordpress success, time to renovate?
Not gonna lie, kinda wonder if and why not can I not just do travel vlogs? Maybe that will be my retirement plan?
JL Collins. Who’s he and what does he have to say about money?

https://www.gocurrycracker.com/renters-for-life - “Spend the weekend working on a side hustle to earn extra income, or fix the leaky pipe in the basement?“
-But, just because you’re renting, doesn’t mean you’re investing your money (ie, the difference between what you’d pay as a home owner and a renter). The article kind of assumes that you know something about money and are able to see / gauge where the growth is. Running those metrics of housing vs stocks is hard to do, especially if you’re not willing to be itinerant.
-Interesting view on writing things off against the property, and not sure how much of that is applicable to Canada:
-“The US Government provides huge subsidies to landlords. Need a new light bulb? Write it off. Need to drive to Home Depot to buy said light bulb? Write off the trip. Insurance, basic maintenance, current expenses… all written off. And the Granddaddy of them all: depreciation. Nearly $4k of income can be earned tax free for each $100k in building value.”
