@GrahamStephan Amazing realization, this is one of my favorite posts from you to see!

I spent years obsessing over making coffee at home for 20 cents. I messed up.
For the last decade, my brand was built on "Optimizing Everything."
• Finding the cheapest deal by finding coupon codes.
• Buying a duplex and renting out one side.
• DIY-ing repairs to "pay myself" $150/hr.
It worked. These habits made me a millionaire. But then, they started to make me miserable.
Here's the paradox with building wealth: The habits required to GET wealthy can be the exact opposite of what it takes to ENJOY that wealth – and be happy.
When you're 20, you probably should say "Yes" to everything. You should pinch pennies. You are playing a Level 1 game.
But I kept playing by Level 1 rules even after reaching Level 10. And this April, I got a wake-up call.
The market dropped 25% on tariff news. I did the math: My portfolio fluctuated more in 6 hours of market volatility than I had saved in years of skipping Starbucks. All that stress and mental bandwidth, all of that optimization counted for nothing. It was a sign to step back.
I came across a quote by Thoreau that hit me: "The cost of a thing is the amount of LIFE you exchange for it." I felt like I was trading my life for pennies instead of creating memories.
So, I’m changing. This year has been about rethinking how I work and moving toward a healthier way of building wealth that takes joy and peace of mind into account.
I went much deeper in my newsletter today. It's the most personal piece I’ve ever published, and in it I talk about the 4-step approach I’m using in 2026 to fix my relationship with money.
If you feel like you're grinding but not living, give it a read. I'll drop the link in the comments in a bit.

@Josh_Rodriguez_ I think it’ll be back up even in just the next couple of days but I really don’t know about longer than the 90 day extension

@PeterHollens @elonmusk *$500k in added house value / gains is what I meant, not total value
English

@PeterHollens @elonmusk $125k* (25%). Nobody in any party thinks that obviously not correct policy is a good idea, but so many are buying into it and panicking 🤦♂️

The result when you piece these 5 things together?
Talk about a 1/10....
If you learned from this tweet please like + RT.
I'll pick someone to jump on a call with and brainstorm their own outlier idea.

@adorian @PeterHollens @elonmusk Yes and no.
My father paid 74k for his house in 1979. It's worth 368k.
If this passes, he has to cut the government a check for 73,500... Or he'll lose his house...
