Cool! Can you share any details about how you did it? Is the model architecture similar to Genie 3 at all?

Haha in the original draft of this post I had "make more money/work on yourself" as one of the points but took it out - most people seem to know the big stuff like don't make big purchases you can't afford. What seems to be less common knowledge amongst my friends at least is how much little things like eating out often has a financial impact on them since it's harder to see. We aren't programmed to understand compounding very well so I wanted to highlight that in the post somehow. This could just be my very young self talking since I haven't seen very many different financial profiles out there.

You're a 100% right - having an emergency fund is extremely important and I'd like to add an appendix that mentions it - do you have any good resources for learning about what goes in to building one?

I didn't comment on it because I'm living at home right now and am young/commitment-free enough to move back in with my parents if I ever need to - I don't have one so I feel I'm not qualified to discuss it.

Yeah totally fair point - bought those cards half because I'm an nba fan, half because I thought they'd pump - I def don't think this makes me a good investor I just got lucky. I put in less than 10% of my net worth in for fun - it just ended up growing. Verify here if you don't believe me: https://evaluate.market/accountValuation?externalUserName=aa...

As for the rest of the portfolio, don't emulate it! Do what works for you, that's what the section below is for - I'm just being transparent. Most definitely consider more credible people, I just hope my suggestions might save people from the devil that is inflation.
