Its horrible worst idea to ever to exist people should sell and add to the retirement or something. I'm still buying though rather that than horrible performance I may loose something, but most of it still there with no worries.

Crypto prices crash and burn I'm ready for the dip I want to see how low it can go probably be in profit for one of those investments.

That will impact the markets and crypto resulting in a negative effect. Negative wealth effect will impact the hobby even more. Some providers are now traveling in other parts of the state or out of state to charge the prices they want.

The math is kind of simple here. How much does the United States bring in each month and what is the monthly payment? You have to do your own research to find that answer I know the answer. If the government were to shut down, the economy will still continue to function, and if I'm not mistaken, 17% of the government will not work.

With an election year only ReThuglicans can mess this up.

For you and your spousal IRAs if you have not already spent money on the hobby LOL. 12 K max for you (6000) and wife (6000), or 14 K (7000 each for you and wife) if you are over 50.

Especially via send-it-and-its-gone phone app transfers.
If she'd asked for the deposit via a credit card charge to her business, I'd probably had gone for it. With a CC there would be recourse for a chargeback if she didn't show.

Running the scam in an mostly illicit black market like escorting isn't surprising, but for (legit) housekeeping service?

Will regenerative AI systems such as chatGpt reduce the number of jobs, thereby reducing the number of hobbysts who can play? I have been playing with the tool, something that would have take a week can now be done is a few minutes. Meaning I need less software developers to accomplish a task. It is not just the software development jobs that will be impacted. It can also generate all types of documents.
