I was not going to do a post because it is the weekend. But since my buddy Rene is so lonely now posting only on weekends I decided to keep him company a little bit…
I have been blogging for over five years now. Why do I do it? It is certainly not about the money as I never cared about my metrics, SEO and analytics crap (don’t get me started about Alexa rankings lol). I could easily shut this baby down and open the doors to new clients to my financial planning practice and make real dough. But, deep down, the positives outweigh the negatives I guess. Speaking the truth, having a platform, providing good advice to improve your lives and consequently the world we live in, getting to know you, the things I learn myself in the process (got some superb stuff I already scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday!), making you laugh (laughter is the best medicine, never forget that), getting good advice from you and so on. Thank you all for sticking around.
But there is one special person I would like to thank. This special person was the resident blog troll here for so long and maybe, just maybe, deep down, way deep down, I am still blogging because I like his reactions toward me that make me go WTF every single time. For a long time he gave up telling me how wrong I am and, dear readers, I really missed that! I can’t explain it. It’s like a love-hate relationship! Anyways, I was so happy to see him back! To see an old reader who is still around reading TBB #winning
After almost five years of hoping you’d change, I finally realized you are nothing more than a whiny loser punk. Your lack of readership, complaints about lack of reader conversions and loss of your old readers bares that out.
You are nothing but a punk
Thank you “it’s all about conversions” Ingy for you support. You all be nice to Ingy now.
I got paid for getting the 80k Ink Business Preferred card. Oh, this is another reason I still do this of course. I get my (fewer) cards and get paid for them and can also deduct several things in my blog business. Maybe one day I will put more time on that revenue thingie but I ain’t got time for dat. Life is good and as long as we are all having fun and enjoying the ride! Yes, occasionally I have whined here a bit but you must admit I cut it down! Hey, I am trying, it is not easy when you try to equate what you do here per hour… so I try to avoid it lol.
I added two new sites to the TBB Blogs I Like list:
Amusing Planet – I am finding some great travel stuff here and you see more links to it in my blog. I have discovered some new places I was not aware of. I think you’ll like it too.
Visual Capitalist – This one is added to the personal finance category. When they say “Visual” they are not kidding. They make some mind blowing infographics and lots of talent explaining things in a way you can understand.
No other changes for now…
The way the Senate passed the tax bill was embarrassing. This is a BAD tax bill for most people and for our country. I guess I will take the tax cut I never asked for and spend it so it trickles down lol. Just sad.
My son will be working as an intern for one of the FAANG companies next summer. And may work for another one next fall and graduate a semester later. He turns 20 tomorrow and I just can’t believe it. I think he ‘ll be all right. I wish my daughter will show an interest in Computer Science but it is not happening… I keep telling them both as long as you don’t do drugs we are happy!
Looks like I will be digging into the tax bill soon…
See you Monday! Enjoy my blog as long as it lasts. I sure am!
And I leave you with this…Ingy crashing TBB woohoo!

One thing…
I did not mention anything at all about the AA pilot shortage problem…Non issue. I am not going to waste your time.
Thank you for that!
I should do a post about the worst blog post ever…By Tagging Miles about a cannibalistic restaurant which was a hoax and he tweeted out to his idol Gary Leff as always…
This space…
is so full of characters!
Like Ingy…Hi Ingy!
Good morning to thank the resident troll!
Thank you and thanks troll!
Yay! Weekend updates are back! It’s gonna be a great day.
Love the content on Amusing Planet & Visual Capitalist. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure.
I like quality. I like it even more when readers learn about it 🙂
Who never asked for a cut in their taxes? Speak for yourself bro
I never asked for a cut in my taxes either. That’s the difference between us–Patriots who actually love their country (warts and all)–and selfish greedy Poseur-Americans who gripe about taxes (and everything else!) seemingly all of the time.
Perhaps you would be happier in the Libertarian low-tax paradise of South Sudan.
Ah, you are the Patriot. I couldnt tell by your comment
Lets all be nice to each other and trickle it down TOGETHER 🙂
so much LoveTrumpsHate these days, I almost cant take all this inclusiveness and Love
Few days ago Live and Let’s Fly dude posted how he will sue if Swiss Airlines canceled the F tickets booked with Aeroplan…basically asking for attention.
Today Lucky just posted: Dear Aeroplan: If You Cancel My First Class Swiss Ticket, I Won’t Sue You
I should not be shocked at this point…
but
WTF!
Wait, Alexa ranks websites too. She’s really amazing. I’ll ask her to rank TBB just as soon as I’m done asking her to fart. #amazing #blessed
Lol
Welcome back!
Farting is the killer question in a Turing test? Who knew.

I would like to thank the FAKE NEWS NETWORKS for giving me GREAT opportunities to buy stocks of companies on the cheap and making more money than I ever did working for a living.
When Fake News says Trump in Trouble….stocks go down….Ramseys then buys stocks like Nvidia…Fake News then says WOOPS “My Bad”, so and so now fired for not vetting story (as Buzz cries that The President is still our great leader). Stocks go back up.
PS I could care less if Trumps people tried to get dirt on that Old Bat before the elections, you know her people did the same or worst for her campaign. Trump is the Greatest President of our Lifetime, my stock portfolio is proof!
Hold my beer…
Please stop promising to stop writing TBB.
#notgoing2happen.
We just got back from Singapore and Bali, so I can start reading the blog again. I have some catching up to do. 😉
Last.
Please no more Last!
And welcome back, u sure got out in time!
Man, I’m getting soooo tired of all the trump-tripe, on just about all comment sections regardless of the topic.
On one hand I’ve read history and I know that if certain ideas/behaviors are not combatted then they can turn cancerous within a country or a culture.
On the other hand I have a nice life with low worries and why should I give a dang if the stupid folk want to institutionalize idiocracy?
I think you put the dilemma quite nicely…
I am conflicted too…
In a fit of rage…I may just trickle the damn tax cut down lol.
