🦝 Do data breaches matter?

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Good day Reader,

We're celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday this weekend with a bunch of family in town.

🎈🎈🎈

We'll have balloon arches, a scavenger hunt, goodie bags full of Maryland treats, and a few other fun things.

I have a question for you - what do you think would be a fun idea for the weekend?

With four kids, our best ideas involve playing Pass the Parcel because Bluey is on repeat (not complaining though!), which may not fit the demo. 😂

What are your best ideas??? Thanks!

🦝 Do data breaches matter?

It seems like there's a massive data breach every month or so, which is concerning... but does it really matter?

I make the argument that these breaches, while bad, don't matter anymore:

Our aim is to help make it easier to understand so that regular folks can use what we teach to take control of their money and build wealth.

Good afternoon Reader, How is it the end of 2024 already? We're just a couple weeks away from the end of the year - and our kids only have two more school days left! There's goes my sanity. 😆 How has your year been? (View this email as a webpage) 👑 Avoid status games The holidays can be a great time. They can also be a challenging time. One of the ways it's challenging is that when you see friends and family, there's a natural inclination to compare yourself. This is especially true when you...

Good morning Reader, Over the weekend, we visited the German Christmas Village in Baltimore. It's one of the best German Christmas markets around and the first time we visited.

I've seen $1 off or $5 off at some stadiums if you use their bank's card (Citi Field in NY does this, so does Capital One Arena in DC), but 50% off? That's pretty insane. We're slowly accumulating various "holiday...

Good day Reader, Isn't it funny how it doesn't matter how old you are, you always feel like you missed it? Personal example - I graduated college in 2002 with a degree in Computer Science. When I started in 1998, the dot com boom was already roaring.. that's kind of why I chose CS. By 2001, the bubble collapsed and I felt like I missed it. (well, I technically did miss it) The bubble may have burst but I didn't miss the rise of the Internet. I caught that one. There's always another wave....
