More from Morningstar. After the fantastic 2022 HSA Ratings, they then reviewed the 529 Plans: Morningstar 529 Ratings: The Top Plans and What They Offer. No surprise Utah and Michigan are the top two. The Michigan 529 Plan was awful when it began but it has been consistently improving. And these are the only two I have ever recommended #winning.
Back in July 6, 2021 I brought your attention to Hushpuppi with this article. This is what I wrote back then: Let me just say that this clown showing off his amazing life on Instagram had it coming. He is in jail right now and he is expected to stay there for many years. Be suspicious of clowns online, don’t fall for their crap, just sickening! So, justice came! Notorious Nigerian influencer ‘Billionaire Gucci Master’ sentenced to 11 years in jail in the U.S. for fraud.
I wish Elon Musk had never gotten involved with Twitter. He probably wishes this himself as everything has been nightmarish ever since he came on board! Why would anyone work for him when he treats other humans so horribly I can not understand. Can you imagine working there? Who does shit like that? Inside the Twitter Meltdown.
The dramatic unwinding of the company’s senior ranks began overnight, in the hours after Twitter’s new owner made his first official communication to the entire company…The email came at 11:39 PM PT, long after most employees around the world had gone to bed. “Sorry that this is my first email to the whole company,” Musk began, “but there is no way to sugarcoat the message.” The message: that Twitter’s future is “dire…ended with a bombshell: every remaining Twitter employee was expected to return to their offices to work beginning Thursday. (“Obviously, if you are physically unable to travel to an office or have a critical personal obligation, then your absence is understandable,” he added.)……Seventeen minutes later, Musk followed up with a one-sentence email to the team labeled “Top Priority.” “Over the next few days,” he wrote, the absolute top priority is finding and suspending any verified bots/trolls/spam.”…Just after lunchtime on the West Coast, Musk held an unannounced all-hands meeting with staff — his first as CEO. Musk had given employees just one hour’s notice; he arrived 15 minutes late…Musk also took a pugnacious tone with employees who questioned the wisdom of a forced return to the office. Speaking of the value of in-person work, he said: “If you can physically make it to an office and you don’t show up, resignation accepted.”…
What an absolute shitshow…
Best of Web: A Rich Man Walks Into a Bar. On Elon Musk and Twitter, this is just brilliant! The main point is…
Above all else, the rich man does not want to be mocked.
CRYPTO
Wow, what a week…I could have a whole separate blog post about the shocking developments in the crypto space. But, come on, is it really anything shocking anymore? For the record, I have never invested a single dollar in this space because it just never made any sense to me. I guess you can say I have been a crypto skeptic since day One. Thanks to the reader who thanked me for helping him not to lose any money, these emails make my day! I wrote this back in March: Best of Web Special on All Things Crypto, Blockchain, Bitcoin, Web3, NFTs, Metaverse, Cryptocurrencies, Scams.
I always thought this guy looked kind of shady with his Afro hair throwing money around like candy. And you know when he put his FTX company logo in the NBA Miami Heat arena…you know, something was gonna happen, remember Enron? When billions get blown away like this….there is probably something fundamentally WRONG here! Here is what happened: What the hell just happened in crypto? A Q&A in plain English about Binance’s takedown of FTX. Here is a good Twitter thread about what initially went down: Here’s the 30 second summary of the FTX drama that is blowing up in crypto.
But wait…Binance Backs Out of Deal to Buy FTX: ‘Beyond Our Ability to Help‘.
Crypto tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried lost 94% of his fortune overnight, marking the biggest one-day wealth collapse among billionaires on record. Actually, this article was written on November 8…it got a lot worse from him since it was written. I hope he had diversified…So, I guess we can reply No to this question lol!
I always thought of bitcoin mining to be one of those activities that humanity could do less without. You know, like MBAs from top schools going to work in investment banking. Ok, that was a joke. Kind of. Anyway, this article explores the rot inside the bitcoin mining industry. It all worked out well for them when bitcoin price was going up…Bitcoin mining in the crypto crash — the mining companies’ creative accounting.
In this post, we outline some of the biggest problems facing North American bitcoin miners:
- Miners are nothing like as profitable as they report to the public stock markets that they are.
- Miners don’t want to sell their freshly mined bitcoins, as this would risk crashing the price of bitcoin — so instead, they borrow against the bitcoins, and against their rigs, too!
- This business model only works if number goes up forever.
- Number doesn’t go up forever.
At some point…I could not keep up with the FTX news, all coming down super fast…the more I learn the more I think this guy may be going to jail. Remember that jackass pharma bro weirdo creep Martin Shkreli who did time for his crimes recently? This is what he said: “There’s a good chance SBF does a little time [in jail],” Martin Shkreli, former hedge fund manager and convicted felon…” and this to the bankrupt Terra CEO Do Kwon dude still in hiding: “I just want to let you know jail’s not that bad, it’s not the worst thing ever, so don’t fret. I hope it doesn’t happen. But if it does happen, it’s not that bad.
TRAVEL
Interesting list: The Best US Islands. Hilton Head at #1, really?

UKRAINE RUSSIA WAR
This is why supporting Ukraine provides extraordinary security benefits to Americans.
It appears the Ukrainians keep winning where it matters most, in the battlefield…as it looks like the Russians are getting kicked out of recently annexed Kherson. Which just last month Putin declared it will be Russia for ever LOL. How Russia’s humiliating defeat in Kherson came to be.
ODDZ & ENDZ
My dad owned a gas station back in Greece. Which it is now owed by my cousin. I have a feeling she will not pass it down to her son…The Gas Station’s Hidden Battle to Survive. Very interesting information in this article and the economics behind the industry and of course how moving to electric is changing, well, everything!
Best of Web: Wow, what a story! A gay Russian wrote this powerful article: My Harrowing Journey Through Gay Conversion Therapy in Russia. I grew up gay in Putin’s Russia, a world where homosexuals are condemned by the church, terrorized by gangs, and disenfranchised by the government. While reporting on one unsettlingly popular form of treatment, I wound up investigating my own sexuality.
I love Twitter and hate it now that is owned by Elon Musk. Anyway, this link is an example why I love Twitter: One building from every year of the 20th century, in chronological order. Wow!

MILES & POINTS NEWS/PROMOS/MY ACTION
We are not too far off from the end of the year so this post is timely: Year-End Credit Card Checklist for 2022: Travel Credits, Spend Reset, Application Strategy & More to review our travel rewards credit card “situation” lol.
I swear, if banks ever stopped paying bloggers to sell their credit card merchandise…there would be an exodus from this business leaving us few true hobbyists still blogging. Anyway, I am just amazed how they can keep coming up with content always urging their readers to, please sit down, get more travel rewards credit cards so they can earn the fat sales commissions! Here is another one: Why Now Could Be the Best Time to Get a New Travel Credit Card. Of course it is but you got to be careful, please read all the cautions below in the Miles & Points section under Beginner. And if you would like to support the blog please apply with my Credit Card links. With one credit card sold in the month of October and just two month to date…this blogging venture of mine is definitely not a real business lol.
We are returning back to normal that took a pause with the pandemic. United Airlines MileagePlus Premier Qualification Changes For 2023. Getting increasingly harder to be an airline elite with a few bones thrown in the mix, such as award tickets counting and (I really like this one!) no more hideous award redeposit fees.
Been getting award tickets for Christmas back to New York for my girls. Thanks to British Airway Avios points flying on partner American Airlines. More award tickets to be booked on the horizon, Greece for me, Paris for daughter for studying abroad next Winter semester and more…So many juicy credit card signup bonuses to be had but I won’t be around to take care of what is needed to score them. So I am on a little extended break until January it appears…
BUZZING
A section where I go on and on about some stuff that happens in my life and anything else that just does not fit in another section above.
I still can not believe that the greatest sports show on Earth, the World Cup, is about to start in Qatar of all places…So so weird for it to happen in November instead of the summer. Anyway, I am sure I will have more to say when the games begin. And I will be posting in the comments my take on each game, come back and click on my ads…oh wait, I don’t have any still!
How about some World Cup history? World Cup 1966 was in England. Portugal, led by amazing Eusebio, was heavy favorites after annihilating three teams in the first round by a total score of 9-2, including Brazil. At the quarterfinal they met North Korea which had knocked out Italy and, needless to say, found themselves shocked to be here at this stage! And then…the North Koreans proceed to score three goals on the Portuguese to, again, complete shock and awe of everyone! And then, Eusebio took over and you won’t believe what happened next!
The weather in Michigan has been absolutely amazingly warm for November!
Apparently, there was no Red Wave in the US midterm elections. And Michigan, for the first time in decades, found the Democrats to control everything in our state capital Lansing! So, don’t believe the polls ever again, always VOTE!
I am trying to get all work done before I leave for Greece in early December to spend the holidays with my mother…

BEGINNERS
The Beginner’s Guide to Getting Started with Credit Cards, Points & Miles
The Basics of Booking First & Business Class with Miles
BASICS: This travel hacking hobby is mostly about getting the fat Signup Bonus of travel rewards credit cards while of course NEVER EVER carrying a balance. Banks have a marketing budget and are willing to give us many THOUSANDS of miles/points to travel mostly for free hoping to hook us to charge 20%+ interest rates on our balances. The poor souls who fall for their marketing paying these ludicrous interest rates end up subsidizing us responsible consumers who enjoy taking advantage of, cough, such bank marketing budgets! Some of us have been doing this for thirty years creating amazing travel memories…Feel free to ask me questions or post them in the comments.
BASICS: Prefer credit cards from the proprietary points programs of banks, such as Chase Ultimate Rewards, American Express Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Network, Capital One Rewards Miles because they are a lot more flexible and are not devalued as frequently. Over pure airline and hotel travel rewards credit cards. Pure cash back credit cards may work for you best and they are getting more valuable as airline and hotel loyalty programs keep getting devalued. Sometimes, a pure no annual fee 2% cash back card works best for simplicity!

Citibank increased the Signup Bonus for the Citi Premier card from 60,000 to 80,000 Thank You points. Annual fee is $95 and the minimum spend to score the Signup Bonus is $4k in the first three months. The Citi Premier card has a solid earning structure as it earns 3 points per dollar on gas/groceries/dining/travel and 1 point on everything else. Of course, you can transfer your points to mostly foreign airlines and JetBlue. Or you can cash out at one cent per point. Therefore, 80,000 points means $800 less $95 annual fee——-> BOOM! Read the newbies paragraph above and always think…taking advantage of bank marketing budgets! Available HERE, thank you!
The Capital One Venture X card offers a 75,000 point Signup Bonus after a minimum spend of $4k in the first three months. If you like simplicity and looking for one (premium) card, I highly recommend this card (and yes, I have it myself!). It has an annual fee of $395 but it comes with a VERY easy $300 statement credit for travel booked on its excellent travel portal, essentially turning it into a $95 annual fee card. But wait…there is more! On each card anniversary you earn 10,000 points essentially making it FREE! Every dollar of spend earns 2 points and flights booked on the travel portal earn 5 points per dollar. You get access to Capital One and Plaza Premium airport lounges and a Priority Pass Select lounge membership and, this is important, you can add FOUR authorized users FOR FREE who can also have their own Priority Pass Select airline lounge membership. You can transfer your Capital One points to up to 18 Transfer Partners. No foreign transaction fees. Free Hertz President’s Circle rental car top elite status.

Hey Buzz,
There will be a celebration of life for crypto in early 2023. All who attend will be given a token tulip. (Token-get it?).
Doesn’t Ingy live on Hilton Head Island?
I guess I am not counting you on the upcoming TBBCoin drop…Have fun staying poor Sam!
Last I heard was he sold….probably at the bottom.
🙂
Tulips would be good as remembrance of the great tulip bubble. Although to be fair there were really existing tulips. Quite lovely ones.
Thanks for the crypto update. I think this is gone way beyond the sainted Mr Ponzi in terms of crude fraud. As a UC Berkeley grad it was such a hoot to learned that FTX had bought naming rights for the football stadium. Investment advice from celebrity athletes? What could go wrong.
Thanks for the great links!
Holland, Michigan has a tulip festival every year. Sooo many good looking lovely REAL tulips there!
Fortune favors the….can you imagine always be associated with that TV commercial? Tom Brady and Stephen Curry too…Ridiculous….Anyway, it is so hard to keep up with the developments. And, for all that, bitcoin somehow still is holding at $16k!
Bronze! For the Pacific Northwest. I am still alive! Feeling OK but now with a finally diagnosed heart problem.Fixable with drugs apparently. We shall see.
That SBF guy… wow. From 16 billion dollars to broke in about a week? Yikes! I wonder where the next crypto disaster is gonna be and who is gonna get hurt.
I never understood Crypto, really and am always glad I haven’t gotten into it. Yes, some folks made bank at first and the smart ones did then got out. But yeah, some sort of Ponzi scheme or something. It’s all crazy!
I have friends that completely poo-poo renewables,, but that and nuclear are the ways to go for clean energy. The world is gonna be an even worse disaster in the future if we don’t clean things up!
Stay alive!
Breaking: SBF is now known as Fried (yeah, that what F stands for…I always wondered it was going to be appropriate one day).
He had a good ride but now Sam Bankman-Fried is going to jail.
Good read here on the crypto regulatory environment:

Will read later, thanks.
Bahamas jails are nicer than ours? And that photo with Clinton and Blair…smh.
I don’t know if I’m cutting off my nose to spite my face, but I deactivated my Twitter account as soon as Musk took over. I’ve substituted it with Mastodon but feeling the pain of losing Twitter – it was important to me.
You know I love Twitter. And I absolutely hate it when this Elon dude got involved. And I fear he is singlehandedly going to make it AOL. I deleted the link to my Twitter profile from my email signature. I try to use Twitter less. I looked at Mastodon and I am not convinced to go there…yet. I am just blown away how this guy is perceived as a CEO genius with the disastrous childish petty non sense he has been doing for so long…wow.
Buzz, just want to say thanks for all you do. Crypto we steered well clear, if you don’t understanding it don’t even think about it. Could not persuade a cousin that a 50k profit should probably be taken off the table, haven’t asked lately how holding has worked for him. Twitter never on it, no interest it seems to be the usual cesspool of everyone talking and no one listening. Re the miles and points world. Now we’ve ticked over 60 we don’t have the tolerance for substandard carriers or hotels so points are not much more than a subsidy to our cash purchases. That said I still have 2.6 million points after spending 1 million in 2022. Without too much effort we see to hold stable at that level. I used United miles for a Europe trip in business this year then bought an Emirates First back to Oz and no prizes for guessing how enthusiastic I am to ever step foot on the much raved about Polaris product.
About Twitter I will say this: if you avoid politics and avoid the petty squabbles people sometimes get pulled into, Twitter is the best thing about the internet, period. There are so many interesting people there. Sure there’s a lot of crap but you’re generally not going to read it unless you go looking for it.
@ Vicky: Thank you so much for your kinds words, much appreciated. Agree with your miles and points world assessment, especially with “points are not much more than a subsidy to our cash purchases”. About to cross 1.2 million miles/points burned during 2022 too and been trying hard myself to get under 4 million in the bank…it’s really hard 🙂 Please see Twitter commentary below in answer to Nick.
@ Nick: Twitter is the worst…but it can also be the best social media medium out there. MOST users do not get it…and I get it! It is really very hard (lately ridiculous with the Elon ever changing ridiculous moves!) to use it long enough to…understand it enough to tailor it to what has been for its committed users a really indispensable tool operating online. The company has also been a clusterphuck for shareholders ever since it became public, no doubt. I managed to buy some shares late in its life because I really believe in the product and the brand and thought someway somehow after several years a competent manager will jump in and really find a way to profits and share price rise as well. Never in a million years I ever thought that this extremely addicted to Twitter dude Musk will come through and clearly way overpay and buy the whole company and take it private. I would easily forfeit my profit on the stock to let the company just…go on as before trying to find its way financially speaking and maybe doing some improvements to the product. And here we are…the first two weeks of Elon’s “management” (lol) have been so disastrous and it really HURTS for Twitter heavy users and must admit..fans like me. So, I am praying the product and the company survives but it is getting increasingly dire out there because this dude just can’t help himself tweeting and taking himself and the company (and Tesla…) down to a hole that may be, well, fatal. It is going to be a freakshow and, you know, that song “The revolution will be televised”. Instead, the revolution will be tweeted …
And no doubt, the initial impression of new Twitter users is that this place is hell…and it is not false! I am not shutting down my account just yet…but I am thinking about it more and more and like Elon said, with the continued advertiser runs from the platform…the day may not be long before he kills it to save himself foremost. Because, you know, he comes first lol.
Turns out SBF was much worse than Bernie Madoff. Or should I say more sophisticated.
“Building a backdoor that let billions of dollars to be removed and make changes to the company’s financial record without flagging the transaction either internally or externally”.
So,when SBF said he fcuk up, he was really sorry he got caught. There were so many more worse things he was planning to do. The child of two law professors! Wonder which country he’s hiding in. I doubt the Bahamas has the resources to sort this out.
Matt Damon’s crypto.com wallet has 20% of the assets ($3B) in Shiba Inu. The whole space is a joke.
I have a long article about SBF…that is so far out there…I wish I did not have to wait until next Friday to post it!
Why are so many people so gullible falling for these assholes? Anyway, hopefully the Elizabeth Theranos gets many years in the slammer, we should exchange her with Britney Griner so lying fraudster Elizabeth can spend some time in the penal colony instead.
I am shocked Elon Musk has not pumped Dogecoin yet LOL.
Actually, I am surprised Bitcoin is holding up at $16,7k rn. Maybe CZ is doing trades all to himself propping it up smh.
“Fortune Favors The Morons” – TBB
With highest inflation in decades, with an unpopular President, with the Midterms tradition of incumbents getting pummeled…Redwave should have been a Red Tsunami.
And yet….
I don’t know, maybe Trump is a LOSER and his deranged brainwashed moron racist fans are losers too?
Hopefully this idiot Walker with way too many children paying off women to keep aborting who somehow Evangelical Christian hypocrites vote for him instead of an actual Reverend loses in December so we can all say to Manchin to go screw himself.
Lol
At this rate, who knows, the unthinkable may happen…the Dems may even keep the House!

Fell off my chair and almost choked on my (third) cup of coffee this morning when I checked the credit card conversions to discover that month to date six readers have chosen TBB to get more miles/points from banks! From just one in October to six November to date, wow! Thank you so much, this blog continues, Friday’s post is shaping up to be one of the best, full of FTX and ElonMuskTwitter gems!
World Cup is starting in less than a week and just does not feel like it. At all!
I guess Kari Lake did not bring the same “Big Dick energy” to Arizona she brought when she helped DeSantis lol.
It’s back to cold in Ann Arbor…not as fun running!
Thanks again, you all have a good day.
Maybe you should add an article about BlockFi going bankrupt. Regarding all the actors in FTX and how they are connected, makes me think about George Carlin “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. “. This time, I’m glad to NOT be part of the club.
What’s up with engineers disrespecting their boss? Nobody gets paid to bitch about the new owner. Good riddance!
Ronaldo, going out with a BANG!
Can’t keep up with the FTX stuff…wow. Deserves its own post but just not gonna do it so next Friday post will be the longest ever. Not sure this is good for conversions lol.
Loved those guys taking shots at Elon. I am sure they knew what was coming and maybe it was intentional. I think. How is this guy working 24/7 at Twitter until it gets fixed? How do Tesla shareholders feel about that? You wouldn’t get me inside a SpaceX rocket even if it was free! Why does anyone work for this guy, he can’t help himself online picking fights and trolling non stop….Feel so sorry about his kids smh.
Nothing new about Ronaldo, was always a prima dona. Maybe he should get a hint he is not…Tom Brady. Maybe…Brett Favre LOL.
One more Chase Ink Business Unlimited card sold here, thank you! TBB readers know their stuff, 90k Ultimate Rewards points for no annual fee cards are no brainers.
Looks like it is going be snowy and slippery driving to/from Grand Rapids today to visit a client…Well, it is November 16 so it was about time.
Looks like daughter will be interning at a company near Seattle next summer. Assuming offer is not pulled before then, ya never know in the not as big tech world these days!
Looking forward to all the shit Trump will unleash to every other Republican running against him, should be a lot of fun. Suggested Trump 2024 slogans:

Tomorrow’s post is turning into an FTX beat down…wow. The more comes out…the more disgusting it gets. This SBF dude is a phucking narcissistic psychopath scumbag it makes Donald Trump look good, unreal!
Did you see the bankruptcy filing? Wow.
