Don't want to derail this post but this, "Now, as an aside, there are some laws about providing "financial advice" that people misunderstand, leading to retards on r/wallstreetbets posting all caps THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE at the bottom of their schizo poasts, as if anybody was confused. The law is designed to go after people who are involved in "pump and dump" schemes. You are totally allowed to tell people what stocks you are buying and why, you don’t need to explain that it’s not financial advice. We all know it’s not financial advice." behavior shows up in policy, govt jobs, and law as well.

I once knew someone, let's call him Adam who refused participate in a volunteer synagogue group for talking about current events due to fear of...violating the Hatch Act.

The Hatch Act prohibits civil service employees from participating in *some* types of political activities. It doesn't bar them from being involved in their synagogue.

Anyway, you'll say "Oh my friend is a lawyer. Maybe he can help with that landlord issue." and someone will scream, "THAT IS ATTORNEY ADVERTISING AND LEGAL ADVICE."

Good read. I’m personally aiming for a sort of “light fire” my goal is around $500k in assets then transition to my own personal business without the worry of not making any money.
