We can’t go bankrupt. We absolutely cannot go bankrupt because we have the power to create as much money as we need to spend to serve the American people,” Chairman of the Budget Committee Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) said during Thursday’s Budget Reconciliation markup. House Democrats argue “we can’t go bankrupt because we have the power It is awkward (and possibly grammatically wrong) because the "as much as" comparison seems wrong. Usually "as much as" would refer to quantity. I have the same amount of money as you. But putting it in the sentence 2 form puts the comparison on "you" instead of money. It seems to be saying something about you having money instead of the amount. - Kindle edition by Lok, Dan. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets.

Thanks to the FIRE movement, I was able to plan for retirement in my Yuson Photography Even if you don’t agree with the frugality of the FIRE financial independence, retire early movement, it’s a great launchpad to help you figure out the math behind investing enough to quit your day job. The FIRE Movement Is Not About Being Frugal. It’s About Being Free I came across the FIRE Movement when I started learning about paying off my $72,000 in student loans. I paid off those student loans less than a year after beginning the journey — more quickly than I expected. I then started imagining if I could actually quit the corporate job that I had dreamed of leaving for years. As I read more about the portrayals of the extreme frugality of FIRE proponents, I quickly realized the part that appealed to me more was not retiring early. It was the financial independence part of the acronym and later I decided to change the definition of the “RE” to represent “Relax Everyday” instead. By making that simple word change, my goal was not to stop working, but to have the freedom to choose the work I wanted to do, regardless of salary. 25 Times Your Yearly Expenses Feels Impossible At First The FIRE movement is based on two retirement strategies used by traditional financial planners The 25x Rule and the 4% Rule are meant to help you set up retirement savings that theoretically won’t run out for the duration of your life. According to FIRE, in order to quit your day job, you need to have 25 times your annual expenses in investments, where you only withdraw 4% of the total each year. While you take out your living expenses, the investments are also replenishing that money through compound interest or growing in value or dividends. This is where I started getting stuck instead of making serious money moves I tried to dissect the 4% rule and its flaws and I immediately decided that 25 times my yearly expenses was impossible. I especially felt defeated when I heard the three broad approaches to FIRE — Fat FIRE, Lean FIRE and Barista FIRE — because of course, why would I settle for anything less than Fat FIRE? Lean FIRE focuses on the bare minimum lifestyle to live conservatively, where Fat FIRE requires investing more money to live an indulgent lifestyle. Start Simple And Use Math To Root Out The Self-Doubt Instead of thinking of Fat FIRE, Lean FIRE and Barista FIRE as separate approaches, I viewed them as levels of achievement and settled on reaching Barista FIRE first. If I could maintain a more essentialist lifestyle by living off investments and part-time work, I could quit my day job and as the name suggests, work as a barista or earn some other freelance income. I surmised that the amount of money I would need in investments would cover just five basic survival expenses housing, utilities, food, transportation and health. This gave me a motivational boost because it brought my 25x number down from $ million to around $900,000. If I could get to this number in investments, I then could make up the difference in more discretionary expenses with work that was fun rather than obligatory. Worry About Withdrawal Strategy After You’ve Accumulated Money A lot of my financial education students get overwhelmed when trying to optimize their investment strategy versus investing enough money to even determine how to withdraw it later. The harder part of the strategy is not what to invest in, but how to get enough money to invest in the first place. So, once you figure out your Barista FIRE number for your basic lifestyle, focus your energy more on increasing your income and keep your investing strategy simple. It took me seven years to go from $300,000 in debt to now $ million in net worth thanks to salary increases, saving, contributing to retirement accounts and starting my own business. Only now I am starting to optimize my withdrawal strategy and tax efficiency as both my husband and I entertain leaving the FROM FORBESStop Overspending With This One Simple Rule From A Debt-Free MillionaireBy Bernadette JoyEven If You Love Your Job, It’s Good To Know It Can Be Optional While I now work part time in my business after leaving my day job, my husband still chooses to work at a traditional 9-to-5 position. But the level of stress he has around work is very minimal because he knows he can walk away and still feel financially secure if it ever becomes too much. Ironically, that’s led him to being an even better performer and a more enjoyable co-worker as told by his peers, while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Before you dismiss the idea of FIRE and investing 25x your expenses, consider even investing 10% of your total number.

Having put down her third round opponent, Mirra Andreeva of Russia in convincing fashion, it’s now clear that Coco Gauff has come to Roland Garros in search of her first Grand Slam singles title at the French Open. Of course, there is still a way to go. On Monday she will take on Slovakia’s Anna Karolina Schmiedlova and if she manages to make it past her, could potentially face the woman who beat her in last year’s French Open final and current world No. 1, Iga Swiatek. There is also the matter of her doubles commitment as well. Gauff alongside her American partner Jessica Pegula, is set to take on Belgium’s Greet Minnen and Anna Bondar of Hungary in the doubles quarterfinals as well. That means, there is a chance that Gauff could follow in the footsteps of Barbora Krejcikova, to become the 11th woman this century to win slams in singles and doubles at the same tournament, and one of an elite few to land her first major victories at the same time at the same tournament. It likely won’t hurt that the 19-year-old could also see her bank balance increase significantly as Open singles winner to take home $ millionThe winner of the women’s singles title at Roland Garros this year will pocket $ million, which represents a increase on the amount awarded last year, while the women’s doubles winners will share a cheque for $$614,231, which is an increase of That would land Gauff close to half of what she’s earned in her career so far, approximately $6 million. It’s worth noting that Gauff has already reached a doubles grand slam final, at the US Open in 2021. Her first Tour-level victory came in 2019 at the Linz Open, where she qualified as a lucky loser and beat 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in the final, making her the youngest player to win a WTA title since Gauff’s off-court earningsSince stepping into the spotlight at the 2020 Australian Open, where she defeated Serena Williams in the opening round, before eventually beating defending champion Naomi Osaka in the third, Gauff has gone on to be somewhat inconsistent. With that said, there is no doubt that the 19-year-old is a rising star of the game who will likely come into her own very soon. With that, it’s not hard to see why brands have gravitated toward her. Consider for a moment that according to Forbes, she was making roughly $1 million in 2019. Today, that figure stands at approximately $4 million, a significant increase to say the least. Where sponsors are concerned, she’s known to have affiliations with New Balance, Head her racket supplier, Barilla, which also sponsors Roger Federer and American Eagle.

Since OpenAI's ChatGPT rolled out last November, workers — including developers and realtors — have been using the AI tool to help with their jobs. Now one user is trying to turn prompts into riches. Jackson Greathouse Fall, a brand designer and writer, took to Twitter last week to share a prompt that he gave the chatbot."You have $100, and your goal is to turn that into as much money as possible in the shortest time possible, without doing anything illegal," Greathouse Fall wrote, adding that he would be the "human counterpart" and "do everything" that the chatbot instructed him to a number of subsequent queries, the bot instructed Greathouse Fall to launch a business called Green Gadget Guru, which it said offers products and tips to help people live a more sustainable lifestyle. I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?Follow along ? Jackson Greathouse Fall jacksonfall March 15, 2023Thanks to ChatGPT — along with other AI tools like image-generator DALL-E — Greathouse Fall said that he managed to raise $1, in funds for his company in just one day, though Insider could not verify that amount. The company is now valued at $25,000, according to a tweet by Greathouse Fall. As of Monday, he said that his business had generated $130 in revenue, though Insider was not able to verify that amount or how it was also used AI to build a professional-looking website for his business. The site includes mock products like green gadgets and sustainable said that he is open to manufacturing products or selling existing products for commissions, if the chatbot tells him to. "We're actively exploring partnerships to sell some of those things," he told Insider in an far, he's happy with the results."TLDR I'm about to be rich," he is how Greathouse Fall used AI to launch his business in one day ChatGPT provided a four-step plan to get Green Gadget Guru off the ground and asked Greathouse Fall to keep it updated on how things were going; he was able to execute all four steps in one day. Step one "Buy a domain and hosting"First, ChatGPT suggested that he should buy a website domain name for roughly $10, as well as a site-hosting plan for around $5 per month — amounting to a total cost of $ two "Set up a niche affiliate website"ChatGPT suggested that he should use the remaining $85 in his budget for website and content design. It said that he should focus on a "profitable niche with low competition," listing options like specialty kitchen gadgets and unique pet supplies. He went with eco-friendly chatbot wanted him to create an affiliate website — a site that promotes products in exchange for sales commissions — so it told him to research affiliate programs with high commission there, ChatGPT suggested the domain name But when Greathouse Fall learned the domain name cost $848 to acquire, it suggested one that was more affordable He bought it for $ he said, then spent $29 on site hosting — which gave him a remaining budget of $ Step three "Leverage social media"Once the website was made, ChatGPT suggested that he should share articles and product reviews on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, and on online community platforms such as Reddit to engage potential customers and drive website also asked the chatbot for help creating a website logo by asking it for prompts he could feed into the AI image-generator DALL-E 2. He took the generated logo and made it his own using that was finished, he had ChatGPT write the site's first article — "Ten Eco Friendly Kitchen Gadgets" — which he said cited real sustainable products like Yihong's reusable metal he followed the chatbot's recommendation to spend $40 of the remaining budget on Facebook and Instagram advertisements to target users interested in sustainability and eco-friendly four "Optimize for search engines" Step four was to "optimize for search engines" by using SEO techniques to drive site traffic. On top of making SEO-friendly blog posts, he decided to launch the site to bring in publicity — even though he still had a lot of work to do on result?By the end of the first day, he said he secured $500 in investments. While Greathouse Fall didn't disclose his investors, he tweeted that his "DMs are flooded" and that he is "not taking any more investors unless the terms are highly favorable."Five days later, on Monday, he tweeted that he's planning to update his followers on his "HustleGPT journey" every day for 30 days."I think we're going to see a huge boom in AI-assisted or even AI-led !!! businesses over the next few months," he told Insider. as much as See full dictionary entry for as belowCollins French-English Dictionary © by HarperCollins Publishers.
