Had to stand out from all the Thanksgiving/Black Friday promotional emails.

Figured a couple of devil emojis would suffice.

Anyway...

Happy Thanksgiving.

Welcome to a brief window—a mere 24 hours—where you, yes you, are allowed to break the illusions of materialism and be thankful for what you already have.

Just this ONCE, you are allowed to ignore the legion of gurus shrieking at you to get back to work.

Oddly enough, that sounds sort of like… a job?

It’s almost like they’re financially incentivized for you to worship money and have it be the goal of your life.

Odd.

Anyway, in my very limited time here on sweet planet earth, I have discovered (actually relatively recently, mind you) that my life is literally 4x as good when I shift my focus away from the material.

And no, I’m not here to virtue signal about the evils of money… especially since this is literally an email list about, to some extent, gaining money.

Something I’m still working on.

But to my point:

Supposedly, we were supposed to have figured this all out over 2,000 years ago.

Blessed Solomon certainly did:

“He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.”

But of course, to this very day, the masses are still addicted to the get-rich-quick crackpipe.

Why?

Oh wait, he has an answer to that, too:

“There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.”

Solomon bringing the bars today.

Happy Thanksgiving,
