@rfkenmore I’ve seen maybe 5 vintage stripe tees out of the thousands we’ve sold that I’d consider wearing - most of the patterns suck.

@SahilBloom @rachcorrine My 80s ghurka is a tank - easy to repair. Has only lost a zipper once over the course of 100+ weekend trips
English

@rachcorrine Have you checked out Ghurka? My absolute favorite bag company. Had their briefcases during finance days and now have a few of their duffels. They age like fine wine. ghurka.com

@DadInvest My dad showed me a compound interest calculator when I was young and I think it was an incredibly important thing/moment in hindsight

On a morning walk with my wife and son this morning. He starts asking money questions, “so if I had $10,000 and it made 7% a year, how long would it take to double?” “If I invest $50 a week at 7% interest for ten years, how much money will I have at the end?” Buddy you came to the right place.

@RealPETE2020 Yeah my folks did the 7/8ish hour hike last year. Way cooler to camp out though
English

@levistype1 There are other more accessible day hike routes too. We camped about 1/3rd the way in, so carrying food fuel tents & whatnot added to the haul
English

@RealPETE2020 Good lord lol no shot I can do that at elevation - that’s awesome

I own a cool customized Royal Enfield motorcycle office. Rode it daily, but now its art in my office as I live in NYC.
The green one is mine. The red one is what it looked like before customzing.
I love Royal Enfield motos, in part, because its the world’s oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production.
The story behind it:
- Royal Enfield was launched in 1901 in England
In 2000, the company was bleeding cash, selling only 25,000 bikes a year
- Enter 26-year-old CEO Siddhartha Lal, a cool Indian entrepreneur who’s father started a big car co in Indian. He bought the business.
- Royal Enfield was a conglomerate stretched thin across 15 different businesses, including tractors, garments, and footwear. Lal realized they were mediocre at everything.
- So, he divested 13 of those 15 businesses, putting all his chips on a cool but broken motorcycle brand.
- Doubled down on heavy, retro, premium machinery while competitors were building cheap, plastic commuter bikes
- Now they sell close to 1 million bikes a year, dominating the global mid-sized market.
- I bought mine for like $5k or $6k. They're cheap and high value. (then i spent more customizing)
- Like most British vehicles...the mechanic were eh. But now these things are bullet proof.
I know I have a lot of Indian followers. These things are everywhere there. Super cool.

New hire. He’s in his 50s. Says he needs money desperately so he can pay for his daughter’s college tuition in the Fall. Not a perfect fit, but we are busy and the foreman agrees to give him a shot.
It’s been two weeks. He leaves work early in the middle of the day twice the first week. Last week he claims he tweaked his back on Sunday and can’t work for 3 days.
Today he texts me asking for a raise that would take his income above every bag operator that works at the company, including those that have been with the company for over a decade. I said no. He’s not happy he claims.
None of this is surprising or stressful. I deal with this all the time. This is stuff that is never in the CIMs of small businesses for sale that wear on owners over the years.

@DadInvest @girdley potentially lol - once you have like 10-20 what can you not afford other than private flying and boats and multiple homes? Unless you’re putting 8 kids through private school w trusts etc
Buy this - a.co/d/04R2Y01W - I got copies for my whole fam

@levistype1 @girdley I absolutely had enough as a kid. Am I broken?
English

@DadInvest @girdley Morgan Housel sums it up well in psychology of money. If you felt like you had enough in your youth then you’re that way forever, and if you felt you didn’t have enough then you will never have enough. Great book with many good points on the subject
English

@girdley Why do you think that is? Is it some sort of nirvana? Have they reached some inner peace where they have enough? If so, could you ask them what that feels like? Because I never feel like I’ll ever be enough.

i will be moving all my business to cloudflare

Uhhh… your memory is failing, my friend. And this was sent after the dinner, not before. Have the receipts. I don’t begrudge you in any way, but let’s be truthful.
