    Retiring in a Post-October 7th World... How F*cked Are We; How F*cked Will We Be?

    Retiring in a Post-October 7th World... How F*cked Are We; How F*cked Will We Be?

    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.
    Her speech, titled "You Are the Last Line of Defense" is the most important piece of content I've consumed in 2023. Please listen. Please, seriously, listen.
    Bari Weiss is the founder and editor of The Free Press and host of the podcast Honestly. From 2017 to 2020 Weiss was an opinion writer and editor at The New York Times. Before that, she was an op-ed and book review editor at The Wall Street Journal and a senior editor at Tablet Magazine.
    Weiss is the winner of the LA Press Club's 2021 Daniel Pearl Award for Courage and Integrity in Journalism. She is also the winner of the Reason Foundation’s 2018 Bastiat Prize, which honors writing that “best demonstrates the importance of freedom with originality, wit, and eloquence.” In 2019, Vanity Fair called Weiss the Times's "star opinion writer."
    Weiss is a proud Pittsburgh native. Her first book, "How to Fight Anti-Semitism," was the winner of a 2019 National Jewish Book Award. She lives with her wife and daughter in Los Angeles.

    The Anthony Scaramucci Interview. Rogue Retirement Lounge Episode 100!

    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..."
    But there's a lot more to Anthony than meets the eye, and that's why I wanted to talk to him. He's VERY smart, he's very successful, and he has a firm grasp of the economy, politics and history.
    In this episode, among other things, we hit on the following topics:
    Bitcoin and SkybridgeSuggested asset allocation to bitcoinSome comments on Gary GenslerGold and BitcoinIs ESG dead?Paying yourself first
    Plus, thoughts on five people:
    Cynthia LummisDwight HowardCathie WoodKarine Jean-PierreUncle Anthony

    Can Hyperinflation In Argentina Be Fun? NPR Says "Si Señor!"

    Can Hyperinflation In Argentina Be Fun? NPR Says "Si Señor!"

    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, I probably come off like a total dick (and maybe I do in every episode??) but my point is that no matter where you get your content from, it's informed by the bias of the journalists, or whoever's writing/producing/performing. Left or right, up or down, whatever.

    Be a Landlord Without Being a Landlord: The Whitney Sewell Interview

    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 episode.
    If you want to know more about Whitney, check out www.lifebridgecapital.com
