Quick encore of the Memorial Day 2022 episode for you...
First up, a quick reminder to check and make sure you've got correct and up-to-date beneficiaries designated for all of your retirement accounts. It's the right thing to do on, say, Memorial Day, when the markets are closed.
And the story of the VFW "Buddy" Poppy. Here's the poem:
"In Flanders Fields"
BY JOHN MCCRAE
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

So everyday I get email news updates about retirement planning articles. Honestly, most are shit. (Ever see the Motley Fool?)
Today one caught my eye; it was a very brief synopsis of the book, "Die With Zero" on Business Insider.
Today's a quick rundown on that article with some commentary by your kickass host. Enjoy, and remember: Learn about Bitcoin.
Speaking of Bitcoin, I hold the majority of mine with Swan. Why? Because I trust them (and you know I've been burned, so I'm extra sensitive) and they're Bitcoin-only. Click here, sign up with Swan and you'll get $10 for free. Oh, and they provide excellent service, and the fees are very low.

Today we're gonna take a quick detour. Well, a not-so-quick detour, actually. If you haven't heard it, you need to hear the speech Bari Weiss gave at the Federalist Society recently.
If you don't wanna hear my semi-literate, stammering preamble, you can skip ahead to around 11:30.
Her speech, titled "You Are the Last Line of Defense" is the most important piece of content I've consumed in 2023. Please listen. Please, seriously, listen.
Bari Weiss is the founder and editor of The Free Press and host of the podcast Honestly. From 2017 to 2020 Weiss was an opinion writer and editor at The New York Times. Before that, she was an op-ed and book review editor at The Wall Street Journal and a senior editor at Tablet Magazine.
Weiss is the winner of the LA Press Club's 2021 Daniel Pearl Award for Courage and Integrity in Journalism. She is also the winner of the Reason Foundation’s 2018 Bastiat Prize, which honors writing that “best demonstrates the importance of freedom with originality, wit, and eloquence.” In 2019, Vanity Fair called Weiss the Times's "star opinion writer."
Weiss is a proud Pittsburgh native. Her first book, "How to Fight Anti-Semitism," was the winner of a 2019 National Jewish Book Award. She lives with her wife and daughter in Los Angeles.

First off, for everyone who's stuck with me through this, my 100th episode, a big, fat, obese THANK YOU! I do this podcast because I love you and I want you to have a kickass retirement.
On today's show, I'm honored to have Anthony Scaramucci. You may know him from his 11-day stint working for Trump, and you may have seen him on the reality show, "Special Forces..."
But there's a lot more to Anthony than meets the eye, and that's why I wanted to talk to him. He's VERY smart, he's very successful, and he has a firm grasp of the economy, politics and history.
In this episode, among other things, we hit on the following topics:
Plus, thoughts on five people:

Today on your favorite retirement podcast, I'm breaking down a really dumb episode of NPR's "Planet Money" podcast. Listening to them make light of the Argentinian inflation crisis made me wanna slap someone, but I thought YOU might find their treatment of the issue interesting. So, because I LOVE YOU and I CARE ABOUT YOU, I put together some excerpts from the episode and broke down some of the ridiculousness I encountered.
Overall, I probably come off like a total dick (and maybe I do in every episode??) but my point is that no matter where you get your content from, it's informed by the bias of the journalists, or whoever's writing/producing/performing. Left or right, up or down, whatever.
