Today I answer an email from some turd named Ron.

Listen up, 'cause we get into some REAL TALK about the bullish situation with Bitcoin right now. Are you in? I said, ARE YOU IN?!?!?!?!?!?

Today we're gonna take a quick detour. Well, a not-so-quick detour, actually. If you haven't heard it, you need to hear the speech Bari Weiss gave at the Federalist Society recently.

If you don't wanna hear my semi-literate, stammering preamble, you can skip ahead to around 11:30.

First off, for everyone who's stuck with me through this, my 100th episode, a big, fat, obese THANK YOU! I do this podcast because I love you and I want you to have a kickass retirement.

On today's show, I'm honored to have Anthony Scaramucci. You may know him from his 11-day stint working for Trump, and you may have seen him on the reality show, "Special Forces..."

Today on your favorite retirement podcast, I'm breaking down a really dumb episode of NPR's "Planet Money" podcast. Listening to them make light of the Argentinian inflation crisis made me wanna slap someone, but I thought YOU might find their treatment of the issue interesting. So, because I LOVE YOU and I CARE ABOUT YOU, I put together some excerpts from the episode and broke down some of the ridiculousness I encountered.

Overall,...

Is real estate part of your retirement plan? If not, it should be. (not financial advice)

One EASY way to get exposure to real estate, without actually buying it yourself, is through real estate syndications. And today's guest, Whitney Sewell, is a very successful syndicator.

**Disclosure: I have money invested in one of Whitney's syndications.

If you're interested in a passive way to get into real estate, you need to hear this episod...
