Hey X, Welcome to Hot Take Finance.
I’ve spent 8 years grinding in sales and run a small online business on the side. I like money, business, and side hustles, from stocks and startups to real life lessons from the sales floor.
Full disclosure: I don’t have it all figured out. I’m just a normal guy trying to level up. I’ve got a car payment, a mortgage, and a wife I love spoiling with dinners out. I stick to a budget, but I also make room to actually enjoy life. I mess up. I learn. I keep moving.
What really gets me fired up? Investing. Not just in the stock market, but in businesses, ideas, and people I believe in. Watching growth, financial and personal, is addictive.
Follow along if you’re into straight talk finance, hot takes on money and business, lessons from sales and entrepreneurship, and real life money moves, wins, losses, and experiments included.
So let me ask: what’s one money or business topic you want my hot take on? Drop it below.

@unusual_whales Tickets are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. It’s basic supply and demand. It doesn’t have anything to do with the economy.
@MikeMcCabe1970 I think another way to look at this is….your hard work is giving someone a nice and clean couch for a heck of a value! You’re helping people save money on a quality couch, while filling your pockets!
@MikeMcCabe1970 So there’s a place up by Wehr I live called consign by design. It’s a secondhand high-end furniture store. I’m telling you right now, the place is a gold mine!
Another thing on the Spirit Airlines Closure….
Spirit sold people on loyalty. Stack the points. Earn free flights. Play the game.
Now a lot of cardholders are opening their accounts and asking the same question
Where did my points go?
Balances wiped out
Expiration policies tightening
Redemptions getting harder to find
It’s the risk nobody talks about with airline ecosystems
You don’t own your points
They do
And when a budget airline starts struggling, loyalty programs quietly become a liability instead of a perk
So the value gets pulled back
Devalued
Or just disappears
It’s a reminder
Points aren’t savings
They’re a currency you don’t control
Earn them fast
Burn them faster
