Read my ★★★★★ review of "Trading Experts' Beginner's Guide to the Stock Market" by Bennett Zamani, in which out of curiosity I pick up the highest rated book at Amazon on day trading and get a fascinating accidental look at Finance Bro culture as a free bonus. I love, LOVE how this review came out (it goes in some zany random directions), so if you only occasionally read my book reviews, make this one of them. goodreads.com/review/show/5778

Today I went to check the post office box and had SIX prescreened credit offers from Citi waiting for me. That's one per day since my last visit.

Federal law allows you to opt-out of prescreened credit offers. When I opted out last time you could only do it for five years. Now you can opt out permanently if you jump through the stupid hoops of sending them a letter. Then they will scan the QR code to make it happen. *eye roll*

Go to optoutprescreen.com/ to stick it to the #financebros.

After facepalming on a daily basis for 3 years now, I had the sudden realization that I work for a bunch of Kendalls.
