NEW: This blog publishes every Friday. This is a one man labor of love operation.
PERSONAL FINANCE
This is a comprehensive article on Health Savings Accounts: What Is an HSA and How Can You Get the Most Out of Yours? We have talked about these in my blog before…the key attraction is the triple tax advantage..
A key feature of HSAs is that they are triple tax advantaged. You contribute pretax dollars, money which can grow tax-free if you keep contributing to it or if you have it invested (or both). And when you take funds out of an HSA to spend eligible healthcare expenses, those withdrawals are also tax-free. In addition to helping defray the cost of healthcare, contributing to an HSA also has the benefit of reducing your adjusted gross income.
I have been feeling like this headline for a while: If this is a bad economy, please tell me what a good economy would look like. Some excerpts:
…the U.S. job market is now the best that it’s been in recorded history.
But now inflation is plunging; if it’s not back to its target, it’s headed there very rapidly.
Real GDP grew at 2.4% in the second quarter, which is a decent clip for an aging developed country, and represents a return to the pre-pandemic trend…But the Atlanta Fed’s growth forecast for the third quarter — or “nowcast”, as they call it, since we are in the third quarter now — is 3.5%. That’s pretty darn good!
The article goes on to show how surprising all this is and how a large part of the population will still bitch…If you are a regular reader of the blog, you should expect surprises and some people will always bitch…ignore them and focus on what you can control.
Ok, a very entertaining post about how I Hate the Hamptons. It ends with “I sincerely hope everyone who reads this gets stupidly rich, and I sincerely hope it doesn’t make you lose touch with reality. It is harder than you think.” If you do have a place in the Hamptons, I sincerely apologize for posting this here, maybe I suggest you do not click…no doubt you are the exception lol. Just an excerpt to warn you:
And I often find myself in a position where I am defending rich people to the class warriors, because the truth is that rich people are by and large some of the nicest people you will ever meet. But not the Hamptons. The Hamptons are indefensible. You might think Beverly Hills is even more disconnected from reality. It’s not. Beverly Hills is a postage stamp, and once you step outside it, you’re in LA proper, and you’re dealing with real people with real problems. In the Hamptons, you can be insulated and out of touch to a degree that exists nowhere else in the United States. And there is nothing worse than an out-of-touch rich person. Of course, when you make some money, what do you do? You move to a nice neighborhood with a gate to keep the riffraff out so you don’t have to think about the fentanyl epidemic that is happening downtown. Everyone does this. You live in a gated community and you go to the grocery store in a pneumatic tube. Being out of touch is the goal. Hell, the real super-rich people get out to the Hamptons by helicopter. The people with only $20 million have to sit in traffic for four hours.
For the record, I don’t live in a gated community woohoo.
Finally, the IRS is progressing…IRS sets paperless tax goals for 2024, 2025.
CRYPTO
I really enjoyed this podcast series about The Fall of Sam Bankman-Fried. It is excellent and I learned a lot. I just can’t believe so many fell for this dude smh..
I was wondering what was happening with the arrests of the couple accused of the Bitfinex hack. You remember the Russian dude with the weird last name Lichtenstein. If that does not ring a bell…how about his wife Heather Morgan who was a, please sit down, wannabe rapper named Razzlekhan (do NOT watch her rap videos…unless you want to laugh while shaking your head). She also was a Forbes columnist writing about digital security, oh the irony. Anyway, yesterday they both pleaded guilty: Tech Entrepreneur Admits to Being Hacker in $4.5 Billion Bitcoin Heist. Ilya Lichtenstein, who pleaded guilty to laundering stolen digital currency, made an unexpected admission in court that he was behind the Bitfinex hack. If you remember, they got caught for trying to cash out their Bitcoin with gift cards at WalMart…
SCAMS
If you attended this Life Surge meeting thing, please leave my blog. Or read on, maybe you can get rehabilitated, my blog is primarily about educating. My Bleak Day at the Star-Studded, Get-Rich-Quick Jesus Jamboree. Around 4,000 Christians flocked to a suburban megachurch to hear from Tim Tebow, a ‘Duck Dynasty’ guy, and a parade of godly salesmen. Yikes, I almost threw up, stay the hell (pun intended) away from these scammers. PLEASE! Thanks to the writer who stayed in this for 10 hours and gave us a play by play, he probably could not wait to get home to take a shower!
We have the July 2023 Ponzi Scheme Blog update. I shake my head to oblivion seeing this crap:
An estimated 25,000 investors deposited nearly $250 million into the scheme, which targeted the Haitian community and fellow church members. Alexandre represented that investors could receive weekly returns of 5% to 9.99%. [Weekly…smh]
Investors purchased more than $10 million in promissory notes that promised interest rates between 9% and 15%. [Run away when you are promised anything that does not involve a bank with FDIC insurance coverage!]
Choudry promised risk-free investments in his hedge fund but in reality he lost over $4.8 million in options trading. [Risk-free? Run!]
Good is a former Morgan Stanley advisor who convinced his clients to borrow against their portfolios and give the money to him to invest. He instead spent the money on himself. [Never borrow against your portfolio]
He promised returns between 18% and 48% and that the investments were safe and guaranteed. [Run FAST!]
But the most brazen one was the Hex shit coin dude, wow: SEC files charges in $1B ‘get rich’ crypto scheme and $12M fraud.
The SEC says that Heart began promoting Hex tokens as an investment designed to make people “rich” in 2018. Using his companies, Hex, PulseChain, and PulseX, Heart is alleged to have attracted investment from investors, including those who owned other cryptos who were encouraged to “sacrifice” them (rather than “invest”) to receive Hex tokens. It was claimed that investors could expect returns of up to 38%. Heart did not register the securities and, it is further alleged, he and PulseX used around $12 million of the funds invested to buy luxury goods, including sports cars, watches, and a 555-carat black diamond known as ‘The Enigma’ – reportedly the largest black diamond in the world.
You know, I don’t feel bad for people giving this guy their money….Apparently, this guy left his videos on YouTube. I have a feeling he will not be able to enjoy the 555-carat black diamond in his prison cell, not sad!
GEOPOLITICS
Not sure how long Dan Wang will still be writing about China, he keeps saying this is the last article. China notes, July ’23: on technological momentum. It is a must read again.
Politics didn’t need to take center stage so long as the economy could deliver its ravishing spectacles. But growth now resembles an aging star, whose act keeps being stolen by the ghastly presence of the communist state. China’s long-term economic challenges are obvious: demographic drags, a peak in property demand, debt overhangs, and a western world intent on some degree of decoupling. The surprise is that the economy hit the skids only six months after the abandonment of zero-Covid.
This article goes deep inside the Wagner Group: Inside the Wagner Group’s Armed Uprising. How Yevgeny Prigozhin’s private military company went from fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine to staging a mutiny at home. The accounts of how the prisoner recruits were sent to basically suicide attacks is shocking. They could not retreat because they would be shot so the only way was to go forward and take a chance they may make it alive…

RUNNING
Still down but improving VERY slowly. Obviously, not running at all for three weeks now has been, well, very frustrating. Continuing to stay positive and doing all my exercises and biking. Update: Ran half a mile and walked 3.5 miles yesterday…Felt fine until mile 3.77. I guess Boston Marathon qualifying runs will have to wait for a little while, sigh.
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
Looking forward to watch the USA Women’s World Cup team take on Sweden. Hoping they snap out of it after an awful first round. Here are all the goals from the first round, enjoy!
Big project at home, cleaning out the basement! I found a signed NFL football of Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Champion Clay Matthews. It is worth about $100 a friend told me. And then I had a thought…to hold on to it because, you know, he may turn out to be OJ Simpson or something. I found my family home first rotary phone with the number on it, a number I still remember! And this gem from way back in the frequent flyer hobby world when Healthy Choice had a promo to earn American Airlines miles I think. I have done some crazy things to feed my miles addiction over the years. Lol with me:
What a beautiful picture of spotted eagle rays found here:
This blog started with a focus on miles and points and travel. It has evolved since then. Everything below deals with the hobby of collecting frequent flyer miles and points. If you are not interested, you can stop here, thank you.
MILES & POINTS NEWS/PROMOS/MY ACTION
I blew one Hyatt Cat 1-4 free nigh cert for another night son added in Seattle next week. This one will be at the Seattle Hyatt Regency, it is his fourth World of Hyatt brand. One more brand and he earns a free night with the ongoing excellent Brand Explorer promotion. We are going to stay the first night in Seattle at the Hyatt Olive 8 property so I can finally score the 10th Hyatt brand to earn me another free Hyatt night cert. Before we move down the street to the Hyatt Regency. I have had a great email correspondence with the Hyatt manager and looking forward to our stays.
Repeat of the top card offer these days below:
These days every 100,000 points credit card Signup Bonus should always be in your radar. And here it is again: Ink Business Preferred Credit Card 100,000 Bonus Points. It used to require a bigly $15,000 minimum spend in three months. But the new offer requires only $8,000 minimum spend, almost 50% lower. For a card with an annual fee of $95. It earns 3x on travel, shipping, internet, cable, phone, social media/search engine advertising. Probably not a keeper for the long term but that is just me, you can decide for yourself, we are all different. The card will allow you to transfer your Ultimate Rewards points to airline/hotel partners in case you do not have the Chase Sapphire Preferred which I prefer and do hold for the duration. You can apply for the card with my Credit Card Links or you use my REFERRAL LINK, thank you!
This blog sold its first credit card in July….on July 31st late in the day! Thanks to the reader who saved this blogger’s dignity lol. For aspiring bloggers, maybe don’t try this blogging thing ok unless you are willing to just post travel thought leading clickbait several times a day?
ADVANCED
If you are low on American Airlines AAdvantage miles, this offer is still going on: Citi AAdvantage Executive 100,000 Mile Offer. I moved it to the Advanced section…
Apparently, it appears Chase is not improving applicants for the 100k Chase Ink Business Preferred card who are over 5/24 any longer.
In this hobby, you gotta play the long game. If a bank shuts you down, you can’t play with that bank’s products for a very long time, if not forever. So, be careful out there ok? Weekend Wisdom: The Sneak Attack Strike Back.
United’s Pacific Island Hopper was often mentioned in the blogs pre pandemic. Apparently it is still going on but not mentioned much. Has anyone done this recently? How do you book it, how many miles? I always wanted to do it but just never got around to it. I would rather do this instead of going to the Maldives.

As of today, I have burned 787,950 miles/points year to date in 2023 and have 4,132,175 miles/points in the bank. Some do drugs, I do miles lol!
Thanks to US banks, very lucrative travel rewards credit card offers come and go all the time. This section will act as a reference point on the best CURRENT offers. I will designate new material preceded by NEW.
BEGINNERS
The Beginner’s Guide to Getting Started with Credit Cards, Points & 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 then charge confiscatory 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, we were all newbies once!
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!

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. Cell phone protection and PRIMARY rental car coverage. Awesome seats at baseball stadiums for just 5k points each. And lots more. Available with my Credit Card Links, thank you for your support!

What a wonderful bit about the social construction of mathematics!
Good to catch up with below the fold Ponzi schemes. Madoff had to work at it. What’s the line about a fool and his money?
Hope you are back to running soon.
My experience with early cinema is lacking–the earliest film from that Top 100 list I’ve seen is Godfather Part 2, followed by Jaws and Taxi Driver. Not sure I’d include E.T. or Blue Velvet on that list. And Jackie Brown over Pulp Ficton? To each his own, I guess.
Regarding the abandoned islands, Dry Tortugas is on my bucket list. One of these days I’ll get back down to the Keys.
Looking forward to your Island Hopper trip report!
Thanks for the links Buzz.
Have a great weekend and good luck with the healing!
Thank you to all for taking the time to comment.
All lists, at the end of the day (why end? why not middle or beginning?), are subjective.
Island Hopper trip report will come after that 2016 Iran trip report is complete #hint 🙂
I am thinking to have a cortisone shot in the left foot now…the slowness of healing is unreal…or maybe the facts of aging?
Hmm I’d hesitate to have that cortisone shot. My own experience, in the US they were happy to push having cortisone in my tennis elbow which eventually led to 3 years of shots and worthless physio and eventually having surgery. Orthopedic surgeon in Oz told me That taking cortisone usually leads to the surgery so I’d give it time to see if it will heal naturally.
Yeah…I hear you…but the right foot after the cortisone feels completely normal while the left foot has weird sensations/pains and, while improving, the pace is glacial. Will give it a bit more time, thanks. Client recently had knee replacement and is raving about her surgeon. Surgery is the last resort here and not looking for it….but, this healing process is getting on my nerves while I rot away…..(on my bicycle lol).
“Island Hopper trip report will come after that 2016 Iran trip report is complete #hint ”
Well, that don’t sound too good! Ha! Running so beyond late on so much that I am way late on a comment! Great stuff and thanks yet again!
I’ll be picking this apart over the weekend. Take care and hoping for the best on the feet!
Most likely not going to have much time to meet in Seattle. Daughter just sent us her plan itinerary for us and is very booked 🙂 One conflict may be the USA Women World Cup soccer team game…assuming we get past Sweden Sunday morning. Which is a very tall order it appears.
Ah, well. Figured you guys would be super busy! Not to worry. If you find you do have a bit of spare time, lemme know. Have a wonderful trip though whether I meet you this time around or not. We’ve been having gorgeous weather all summer so hope it hangs in for your visit!
So, no cc conversions here, only one has been that lone one on July 31.
Lost another two email subscribers yesterday. While the travel thought leader followed up a tremendous clickbait shiposting day with this:
“United Airlines ‘1K’ Member Threatened With No Fly List For Eating Manicotti”
So deflating. Why am I paying $27 to Mailchimp to send out the emails when the cost per subscriber goes up smh?
The only positive non deflating thing was seeing a Chase referral for an Ink card, thanks to the reader who chose my referral link! And your comments.
Big get together today at home. At our awesome deck. Which means….I need to clean the house lol.
Also,
if you come after my blog, I will go after your blog 🙂
Woohoo….what a world we are living in!

The video of this guy is very inspiring!
Soccer can be a cruel sport. The way the USA Women’s World Cup team lost to Sweden was the cruelest of them all. USA played its best game in this WC, only to be stopped by its atrocious finishing and a Swedish goalie playing the game of her life!
Now it is time for mourning and it is too soon to critique!
Vlatko out!
Sorry Meg…you are an icon but…you should have retired before the WC.
It’s always easiest to change the coach in sport. He made appropriate changes and put the best team on the field. This could have been the semi-final or final. This one is on the players. The game was theirs to win. You have to have clinical finishes. And you can’t miss that many penalty shots.
I am not sure these were the best players he had to put on the field…
Other than a few veterans…this is a very young team that should learn from this and go for it in the next World Cup.
Still…1 millimeter…the metric system finally took down America lol
Nigerian women almost pulled it off in the World Cup! Respect to the English ladies for consoling the Nigerian goalie after the final PK.
Every Monday morning I get a weekly update on my blog’s traffic. So deflating wow! Add to that that August revenue is ZERO…this is just not working and is becoming damaging to my psyche. My blog was never going to be commercial but I thought sticking with quality curating posts will increase readership (and support), WRONG! I guess trying to blog the right way is not a click magnet, maybe I should try to imitate Gary over at VFTW posting shit like this:
Southwest Airlines Pilot Threatens Comedian Who Asks Whether He’s Been Drinking
Passenger Becomes Possessed, Turns To Interpretive Dance After Flight Gets Cancelled
United Flight Attendant Forces Special Needs Toddler To Walk Up And Down Aisle Of Delhi Flight
No wonder so many bloggers have quit and become credit card writers smh…
Please, no more “Keep going” comments…You would NEVER keep going for so many years, let me veer to obscurity. If not, maybe ask what have you done to give this blog a reason to keep going? Paying out of my pocket and/or barely cover blog costs spending hours to bring you each post is just not sustainable ok?
DejectedTBB who is crankier than normal on a Monday morning still sidelined from running due to some phucking nerves making my feet feel like walking on rocks or something.
TheEndIsNearForRealThisTime.
I am going to kill Mailchimp, which will not help traffic. Just don’t feel paying $27 each month to email links to my blog post each week, come directly here if you want to read my blog.
You all have a great week, Seattle here we come.
Anyway, ready for another indictment, bring it on lol.
It seems this week is all about Bask bank. Because two AAdvantage points in the forest are worth more than five cents in your hand. Kirkhorn leaving Tesla, maybe he’ll reveal how the company used to cook the books. Funding secured at $420! Too bad Nigeria didn’t beat Engeland. Let’s hope Jamaica wins tomorrow.
Explain it to me like i’m five, why is paypal making up a “stablecoin”? What problem are they solving?
Every time Tesla stock price goes down I feel happy 🙂
Elon now trying to wiggle out of the fight lol.
Anyway, I need to spend less time here and maybe I should spend more on doing this like this:
Videos: Learn how to earn points and miles from credit card welcome bonuses – Frequent Miler
Blog posts: Chase Massively Dropped The Spending Requirement On 100,000 Point Bonus Offer – View From The Wing….”massively” smh.
On another note, that Trump troll has vanished, maybe he is too busy donating money to Trump for all his indictments woohoo.
The Cinderellas Colombia and Jamaica is down to one, Colombia. I hope the Jamaicans have enough money to get home, they had to scramble to even travel to Australia/New Zealand.
Sad news from Greece. A Greek soccer fan dies after another stupid hooligan battle before a soccer game between a local Athens team and one from Zagreb, Croatia. Bunch of young hooligans without jobs living on mommy and daddy high on drugs decide to beat each other up…and then some stab an “enemy” to death. And…the same thing will happen again, just sad.
Can’t wait for indictment #4…and the scared puppy to go nuts again lol.
Flying Delta tomorrow…after a long time…and I had to pay for the ticket…after much longer time…
Just posted at View From The Wing:
United Passenger Threatened With No Fly List For Eating Manicotti Given Biscuits & Gravy As Apology
Okay everyone, I think I am done here smh…
I had a blast flying the Island Hopper with my daughter before Covid, but I’m not sure how to best book it now. You can still book it on miles between HNL and GUM at least, but back then I was able to book it ORD-GUM. And on miles it was a great bargain. I’d encourage anyone with the time and miles to make it happen. It was one of the most fun trips I have had in terms of flights, and the islands we stayed on were fantastic, too. (We used the excursionist to stay a few nights in both Pohnpei and Palau.)
Yeah, it always looked so much fun, happy you enjoyed it along with your daughter.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I’d encourage anyone with the time and miles to make it happen.
I need to retire or kill this blog for that to happen it looks like 🙂
Wegovy obesity data sounds amazing. 1 out of 3 adults may qualify for the drug. At $1300/month, expect your health insurance premium to go through the roof! Long NovoNordisk and EliLilly.
Yeah…amazing. But with all pills…I don’t know…Anyway, new Covid variant Eris is out and is growing bigly…can’t wait for vaccine #69
I used to apply for lots of credit cards to get cheap travel.
Now that that’s pretty much over, I may start applying for cards just so Buzz can make a few bucks.
Almost choked on my eggs benedict at the Seattle Hyatt Regency Sam…thanks a lot.
Lovely dinner last night celebrating daughter’s 21st birthday and we got her brother to pay for it lol.
Hopefully I can get the post out tomorrow….the miles and points material just gets smaller and smaller…
The Sarah Lawrence college shit has a documentary on Hulu now

Thanks for the update on this guy…60 years hopefully means he croaks in prison.
George, how many vaccines have you taken? “trust the science” worked out very well??? Still have not gotten one dose of any of the poison.
Your dislike for our former president is illogical. Every aspect of your life (and mine) was better. Every single one. Our current administration is ruining America.
Heavens to Murgatroyd, Jeremy, not a single aspect of my life was better then.
It seems clear that you have indeed been poisoned; your words amply verify that.
Giving up Mailchimp sounds like a plan. Folks will know to check on Fridays, just like the Shirk Report. 😉
Sorry about the foot, George, but so glad you’re having a memorable time celebrating that baby girl with the fam in Seattle. These are the truest joys in life, and no amount of cc conversions can buy ’em.
