DAILY HELL: Earning the number you thought would provide your dream life when you were a teenager and finding out that in 2026 it means you live month to month
Most working professionals are in a crowded trade and don't realise it. One income. One employer. No capital compounding independently. No skills outside a job title. Everything concentrated in one position. No hedge.
The median US home costs $420,000. In year one of your mortgage, 83% of your payment is interest. By year five it's still 78%. After a decade of payments totalling $306,000 you've paid off 16% of the loan. The bank took the rest.
People who are exhausted from building their own thing recover fast.
People who are exhausted from building someone else's thing never recover. They just manage the fatigue. Same hours. Same effort. Completely different return.
Anti-capitalist narratives drive massive engagement because being told it's someone else's fault feels like relief.
It means you don't have to change, learn, go on the journey etc.
You just have to be angry at the system that exists. That's the product.
The villain in every film is the rich man in the suit. The hero is humble, modest, content with less. We absorb this from childhood without ever questioning who benefits from a population that feels guilty about wanting financial independence.
DAILY HELL: Using your annual leave to just 'relax' because:
- you're not paid enough to take the holiday you actually want
- you need to catch up on life admin
- not having to be on call to respond to emails 14 hours a day feels like a holiday
PREDICTION: As the AI layoffs continue, there will come a tipping point where everyone realises they need capital working for them outside their salary, they'll flood into the same assets at the same time. Prices inflate. Returns compress.
The early money captures the upside for a monster bubble. The late money buys the top.
I don't love it when I see friends taking out mortgages on the assumption that property always goes up. Obviously there is a lot of regional nuance, but at country level it is a population bet.
More people, more demand, higher prices.
Birth rates are below replacement across the Western world. Migration will taper as AI/robotics replace lower skill work.
Look at China if you want to see where it ends.
