A Clear, Honest Commitment
I like simplicity.
A Clear, Honest Commitment
I wanted to say a bit more about what I mentioned in my earlier article about Kash Patel and his armored BMW fleet.
With economic pressure building and prices rising…most people are already feeling squeezed…and many are about to feel it more.
Here’s what I’m confident about:
Paid subscribers who consistently apply the simple, practical actions I’ll be sharing each week starting the first week of January 2026 will navigate this period with less unnecessary stress and fewer avoidable mistakes than those who don’t.
This isn’t a promise of income.
It’s not a prediction about the economy.
It’s about:
Being better prepared
Making clearer decisions
Avoiding the kinds of missteps that quietly make hard times harder
That difference compounds quickly.
And if you do the work and don’t feel more prepared…more in control…and better positioned than before…I’m comfortable standing behind it with a refund. It’s really as simple as that.
Because this isn’t about optimism.
It’s about readiness.
Did some people in my test group materially improve their financial position…
…by catching hidden leaks…avoiding bad decisions…and recognizing opportunities sooner?
Yes. And more than one told me it made a significant difference for them.
The reason I won’t promise that to you is simple:
I can’t control execution.
What I can control is giving you the same tools…structure…and weekly guidance… and standing behind it if you actually apply it and don’t feel better positioned than before.
Would I be shocked if someone later told me that applying these weekly ideas helped them uncover hidden leaks…make smarter calls…and create more financial flexibility than they had before?
Not even a little.
I won’t promise outcomes…because execution isn’t something I can control.
But…I also won’t pretend this kind of consistent decision-making doesn’t tend to pay off for people who actually do the work.
To say I’m excited about this barely covers it.
2026 can be dramatically better for people like you…not because of some magical promise or overnight transformation…but because of the one thing you actually control: follow-through.
That’s it. No gimmicks. No miracles.
And for paid subscribers who choose to do that work in 2026…consistently and deliberately…
you won’t regret it.
Oh…and the photo I included with this article?
That’s me in the early ’90s, in Thailand, with a young man I met there.
I look at that photo often. Here’s why.
At the time, I had almost no money to speak of. I was pretty broke. But even then…I found a way to do something for that kid…nothing dramatic…nothing headline-worthy…just a small…simple act that I’m fairly sure he still remembers as an adult.
It wasn’t a grand gesture.
It didn’t change the world.
But I’m confident it made a small difference to him.
That feeling never left me.
Over the decades, it’s quietly shaped a lot of small acts of giving back…nothing flashy… just moments where I could help when I was able. You could call that selfish…and I’d agree without hesitation.
Because it does feel good.
And honestly? I’m fine with that.
If I get a good feeling out of it…and someone else walks away with something even better…that’s always struck me as a pretty ethical trade.
And still does.

P.S. Look…it’s a lot harder to focus on defending democracy when you’re lying awake at night worried about rent…groceries…or the next unexpected bill.
My goal here isn’t to sell fantasies. It’s to help reduce some of that pressure…to help you worry less about the basics so you can put more energy into the fight that affects all of us.
That’s not about getting rich.
It’s about having enough footing…to stand your ground.



Simple is good.
Bring it.

Simple works for me.

I used to read ‘Have You Filled a Bucket Today?’ To my students. We discussed often that we should pay it forward. Fill someone else’s bucket and be amazed at how your’s is filled too. It is a reason to smile. It is a reason to have hope. It is a reason to take pride.
