Daphne Joy leaves fans speechless with shocking claims, saying Akademiks will pay her $100k a month to be with him while The Rock paid her $300k last week for a one-night stand, claiming her leaked video changed her life 😳
"Aka baby is paying me $100k a month."
"Dwayne is a nice guy too."
BREAKING: These 12 careers will quietly dominate the next 10 years.
Most people won’t notice until it’s too late.
The people learning these skills today will be impossible to ignore by 2030
Let me reintroduce myself.
I'm a senior software engineer who has worked fully remote for the last 7 years.
Today, I'm helping train a team of 20 overseas engineers, fully aware that one of them could replace me tomorrow.
That's not bitterness. It's reality.
The reason I value remote work isn't working in sweatpants.
It's family.
I get to drop my kids off at school in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon.
Most opportunities I see would require giving that up and spending 2–3 hours a day in DFW traffic.
I wasn't willing to bet my family's future on a job that could disappear overnight.
So I built a side business.
Today it generates about $9,000/month in revenue and $4,000–$6,000/month in profit.
But for years, I was stuck in classic analysis paralysis.
Then I found @ShannonJean through the Korner Office podcast.
He runs a $5/month mastermind with 3,000+ resellers who openly share wins, losses, mistakes, and real numbers.
So I stopped overthinking and spent the $5.
My first Costco liquidation auction from @bstocksol cost $1,700.
Inside:
- Pressure washers
- Ice machines
- Water cooler/dispenser
- And a pile of other returns
I sold everything on Facebook Marketplace.
→ Got my money back in 2 weeks
→ Doubled my investment in 5 weeks
I was hooked.
Since then:
22 Costco liquidation auctions won
Hundreds of items sold
Furniture, appliances, rugs, lighting, luggage, exercise equipment, and more
Operated entirely from my garage and a single 10x30 storage unit
Today is Day 44 of documenting the journey publicly.
My next challenge is live selling on TikTok and Whatnot.
The goal isn't to get rich.
The goal is freedom.
To build something that can replace my tech salary before my tech salary disappears on its own.
No office.
No boss.
No anxiety about the next round of layoffs.
This account is where I'll share the journey:
Real auctions . Real numbers . Real wins . Real mistakes.
Zero guru fluff.
If you're in tech—or any 9-to-5—and building something on the side, I'd love to hear what you're working on.

Went to NVIDIA HQ today.
Two interesting observations:
1. Snacks and coffee are not free: you have to pay for them. This would be unusual at Big Tech, but no big deal for devs here. "We use this thing called salary to buy stuff we actually need." Food for thought (literally!)
Everything about NVIDIA feels different to most of Big Tech I know, in the tactical stuff they seem to do.
But then the team I met operates more nimble and faster than most startups would do. I'm just not used to seeing this inside a public company. Ofc this was just one team.
Oh, and "Jensen" comes up every few minutes. He seems to be such a big driving force behind a lot of things there.
I will probably get more details and do a more in-depth writeup on NVIDIA. It's overdue anyway!
There's a legal provision buried in South Africa's Income Tax Act that lets qualifying taxpayers slash a massive chunk of what they owe SARS. Most people have never heard of it.
It's called Section 12B.
Section 12B lets you deduct 100% of the cost of qualifying solar energy assets from your taxable income. In year one.
One shot. Not spread over five years like most asset write-offs. All of it. Gone from your taxable income.
But here's the part that makes this accessible.
You don't need to go buy solar panels yourself. You invest into what's called an en commandite partnership. This is a legal fund structure where a group of investors pool capital to acquire solar assets. The fund generates electricity, signs long-term contracts (Power Purchase Agreements) to sell it to businesses and municipalities, and distributes profits back to investors twice a year. Individuals, trusts and companies can all participate.
Now add gearing. The fund borrows against your capital. Invest R200,000 and the structure can deploy R400,000 worth of solar assets. Section 12B lets you deduct that full R400,000 from your taxable income.
If you're sitting in the 45% tax bracket, that's R180,000 back from SARS. On a R200k investment.
Your net out of pocket becomes R20,000. And you still earn 8 to 10% a year from electricity sales on top of that.
This is not a loophole. It is a government incentive designed to pull private capital into renewable energy. Legal. SARS-approved. Binding class rulings exist on it.
But not all 12B funds are equal. Due diligence is non-negotiable.
Some people spend their whole careers handing SARS the full invoice.
Others find the section.
JOHANNESBURG – [WATCH] The family of former Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba has appealed to South Africans for assistance as the football legend battles prostate cancer and tuberculosis.
According to his children, Mashaba no longer has medical aid and has been relying on public healthcare facilities for treatment.
Amid the challenges, the 74-year-old recently received a wheelchair and walking aid from community stakeholders, a gesture his family says will help restore his mobility and dignity. Any donation is appreciated.
This person woke up to R14,251 in dividend payments.
No salary. No client. No hustle. Just shares doing what shares do.
Here is the breakdown:
Calgro M3 Holdings paid an annual dividend of 8.64 cents per share on June 22, 2026. To collect R4,723 at that rate, you need roughly 54,700 shares. At Calgro's current price around R5.20, that position is worth close to R285,000. Not a lottery win. A position built slowly.
4Sight Holdings declared a final dividend of 3.0 cents per share for their financial year ended February 2026, after posting a 16.3% increase in revenue to R1.16 billion and a 45.8% jump in operating profit. To collect R9,528 at 3 cents per share, you need over 317,000 shares. At 72 cents per share, that position costs around R228,000.
Combined capital deployed: roughly R513,000.
Dividend income collected: R14,251 in one day.
Annual yield on capital: about 2.8%.
Small yield percentage. Big rand number.
That is the lesson most people miss. Yield percentage is meaningless without share volume. R10,000 invested at 5% yield returns R500. R500,000 invested at the same yield returns R25,000.
The person in this screenshot is not lucky. They accumulated shares in two JSE small-caps that most retail investors scroll past. Calgro M3, founded in 1995, builds large-scale integrated residential properties across South Africa. 4Sight provides AI-driven Industry 4.0 technology solutions to enterprises across multiple continents.
One builds houses. One builds the future.
Both paid real rand into a real account.
The lesson is not which stocks to buy. The lesson is that dividends reward holders, not browsers.
You have to stay.
