UPDATE: @NASA can confirm a fireball over New England at 2:06 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, 2026. The meteor was about 5 feet (1.6 meters) in diameter with a mass of 5.6 metric tons and entered Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 42,000 mph.

The meteor traveled through the atmosphere from northwest to southeast for 26 miles before breaking up at an altitude of 31 miles and producing a meteorite fall into Cape Cod Bay.

Based on the latest data, the energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 230 tons of TNT, which accounts for the sonic boom.

@LogWeaver @GuyTalksFinance What can you control?

@DalyAManagement @GuyTalksFinance “Misery” 😂

[Daniel Rakiec @Rakiec]

There is always a group saying everything is impossible. Another group does it everyday :)

You can do it. Bring your work to lunch, work out, save money, invest, be free.

People regularly tell me that things I have been doing for a decade are not possible.

That $28 lunch is costing you $840 at the end of the month.

That $7 morning coffee is costing you $210 at the end of the month.

… thats over $1,000/month being wasted instead of being invested.

@Tesla Just replaced the heating system on my Model 3 with 36k miles on it for $1100. Also replaced the front suspension with on my Model X for much more. They are not zero maintenance.

[Daniel Rakiec @Rakiec]

@SawyerMerritt Wish that was true. Replaced the heating system at 36k miles on my model 3. Replaced the front suspension on my model x. Very expensive repairs.

People who overcome their circumstances and win with money are not different because they won. They're different because they made a decision to change their life and they took the actions required to make that change a reality.

In case you were wondering, you live in a world where this happens.

Money isn't just a number in an account.
It represents your time and your effort.

[Daniel Rakiec @Rakiec]

Now or later.

[Dave Ramsey @DaveRamsey]

If you will choose to make disciplined money decisions now, you can avoid having to make desperate ones later.

[Dave Ramsey @DaveRamsey]

Most people will not save money when they get that raise.

Most people will not save money when their car is paid off.

Most people will not save money when their kids are grown.

People choose to save money only when it becomes and emotional priority.

Your financial goals are not out of reach. They are on the other side of a decision. If your future is important enough to you, you can make it happen by sacrificing what you want now for what you want MOST later.

When you decide to make your goals a priority, you will stop waiting on the future and you will start building it. Follow the 7 Baby Steps and you'll get there.

Change your family. Change the nation. Financial strength starts at home.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

We bring in $5 trillion. We spend $7 trillion. We borrow the difference. The Fed prints money to cover it.

That's inflation. And inflation is making you poorer.

[Daniel Rakiec @Rakiec]

At least we’ll get to see how this works out on a “small scale” before it reaches the national level. This approach can seem attractive. I don’t suspect it will work out too well.

Ken Griffin employs thousands of people in NYC and is planning to build the tallest office tower on Park Ave., investing billions more and creating thousands more jobs. (For that reason, he’s also here in NYC a lot, @NYCMayor)

Meantime Miami is welcoming him and his firm, with the massive jobs, investment and tax revenue he’s bringing.

Making him feel unwelcome and demonizing him seems risky. Ken left Chicago and moved Citadel hq to Miami a few years ago because of bad policy. (He also sold his penthouse there)
