@TeamTurboTax I'm very tired of large corporations focusing more on profits than their own customers.

I'm still thinking about DMing you. I want to at least finish my 2024 tax return with what I paid you. You should at least give me a complimentary 2024 desktop license.

New day. Nov 12 2026. I notice a lot of rage bait posts get the attention. I don't want to go down that road.

I got up not more than an hour ago and I'm already tired. I never expected my ckd to take so much out of me. At 46 I should have a lot of energy.

Today I'll be focusing on my wild west support business. I'm ready to hire someone to reach out to potential clients but something is holding me back. Not sure what. I have a generous affiliate rate and they are interested in starting.

I have a first goal of $3k per month. I'm at $1k per month now. Hoping to pull the trigger on the hire today. 🤞🏽 #life #BusinessGrowth #ckd #fear

The journey to #retire my wife is a #struggle because of my #CKD. Most of my #kidneys are dead but I'm fortunate that the parts that aren't dead are working enough for me to have some energy. Maybe that's what I'll #chronicle here. The #journey and my business ventures.

I follow #CodieSanchez and #ChrisKoerner and really want to implement something they teach. So I'll talk about my #business ventures. It's the fastest way I can retire my wife. It's her dream to be a #stayAtHomeMom and I really want to give that to her.

I built https://t.co/lp4ND7mId2 using ChatGPT and the @Soflyy Oxygen Builder #MCP. Anyone interested in that? I'm good at building and marketing, just not on #X but I'm giving it a go.

I guess we'll see where this takes me.

First stop. @DennysDiner. I can’t have the sausage or bacon. Grateful I can have the others. #VeteransDay #VeteransDay2026 #Army

@turbotax Garbage. You are forcing me to buy something when I already paid for the online. I'm done with you. I will find better alternatives. You are thieves.

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

So my disability would be about $1k per month and I'm NOT allowed to work (even part time) to make up the difference (cost of living is WAY more than that). Does this make sense to anyone? Am I missing something?

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

@Apple Can you stop releasing new things UNTIL YOU FIX YOUR PERSONAL HOTSPOT!!!!

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

@creditkarma So WHY do you want us to confirm our credit cards all of a sudden? You're PUSHING REALLY HARD on this... email, notification, text... It's a little... suspicious... 🤔

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

So @McDonalds is serving us meat from Cargill that produces 3D printed meat. Includes @tacobell @Walmart and @BurgerKing.

Hey @Wendys, still using 100% meat? You’ll corner the market if you do.

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

@DisneyPlus @hulu You guys suck. Record profits and you STILL increase our plan price. You all brought this on yourselves. Let the exodus continue. I'm done with these platforms. The FREE alternatives are better anyway.

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

Is a taco a sandwich? Follow-up: is a hot dog a taco? I need this settled.

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

Hey, @bjsrestaurants, why are your Baby Back Pork Ribs, Full Rack with Peppered BBQ Sauce almost 10,000 mg of sodium? Why is everything on your menu so freakin' high in sodium? Even the American Heart Association recommends 2,300mg per day. 😔

@grok Any ideas on where I can start this new journey at 46 years old?

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

I was forced to retire early because my kidneys are at 8%. Problem is that my wife is still working. I'm trying to figure out how to retire her so she can be the at-home wife and mom she wants to be. I have no idea what to next. What do you think?

[Carlos Gonzalez @CarlosBuiltThis]

@mhp_guy @grok Give me a list of micro business ideas for industries where shipping are a pain and pricing are all over the place. Think about things like: Frozen stuff. Oversized stuff. Weirdly shaped stuff. Live things like fish, bugs, and chickens. Please give at least 20 ideas.
