We made deep fried pork belly and chicken pot pie for dinner. The chicken pot pie is a viral Trader Joe’s recipe. Goodnight X.

I don't care what anyone says. McDonald's breakfast tasted better in the 1980s. The Egg McMuffins, the hotcakes, the hash browns. Everything just seemed fresher, hotter, and better. Was the food actually better back then, or are we just remembering it that way?

Bought a NJ hoarder home for $550K. Inspection came back clean. Cleaned it out and listed it as is, got a full price offer at $700K. Then the buyer’s inspector found horizontal cracks in the foundation you could stick a pen in...From now on my contractor walks every deal before it hits the market 🤦‍♂️

If you’re still eating takeout every other day and cruising around in your car, this economy is about to introduce you to ingredients you’ve been ignoring. You will learn to cook. You will learn to meal prep. You will park that car and stay your ass home.

Almost end-of-day check-in: 1. Came home from grocery shopping and took a nap. 2. Made roasted chicken and veggies for dinner. Baked cupcakes and currently have an apple crisp in the over. I forgot vanilla ice cream. 3. Watched the Kansas Chiefs lose two players but sqeeze out a win to stay undefeated. 4. There are currently two loads of laundry on the dining room table I need to fold. Most likely will not. 5. Sent @pfordroyals22 a couple texts. See you tomorrow for the number one show in all the land.

BOOMERS ARE BASICALLY LIVING IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COUNTRY FROM THEIR OWN KIDS. They have healthcare largely covered through systems younger workers help fund, retirement accounts that benefited from decades of market growth, huge net worth built on housing appreciation, and Social Security checks funded by the working population. Then my father tells me I should leave NYC every time I complain about housing. “Why don’t you move somewhere cheaper? Like Alabama.” “I need to be here. The jobs are here. My friends and family are here.” “So work remotely.” Okay, Dad. Let me just find a high-paying remote job, move halfway across the country, blow up my social life, lose the networking opportunities that come from actually being around people in my industry, and hope that makes housing affordable. Meanwhile, he owns multiple apartments and could help if he wanted to. But instead, I get told to “earn it” because he had to “earn it.” That’s the part I don’t understand. An entire generation can look at their own children struggling with housing and still respond with the exact same advice that worked for them decades ago. Just move. Just work harder. Just buy somewhere cheaper. As if the economic world that gave them their opportunities is the exact same one their kids are living in.
