The 3 Laws for Getting Rich
Robots Are Coming for Your Job
We’re living in a whirlwind, aren’t we? Markets are jittery, Bitcoin took dive last weeks, and posts on X are buzzing with panic about tech stocks wobbling after another AI-driven earnings miss. But here’s the bigger picture: AI and robotics are reshaping the world faster than most realize.
They’re not just disrupting markets; they’re poised to eliminate entire swaths of jobs, think truck drivers, accountants, even coders. I believe now’s the time to chase financial freedom, not just to weather these turbulent markets but to thrive when the job landscape looks unrecognizable. The key? Strategic debt, working capital, and a portfolio that doesn’t crash when one asset tanks.
The other day, I was scrolling through X and saw a thread about young investors getting wiped out by leveraged bets on tech ETFs. It hit me hard, not because it’s new, but because it’s a reminder of how fragile most portfolios are. It took me back to a post I read years ago from Lyn Alden, a financial strategist I admire. She talked about using debt not as a trap but as a tool to build wealth, paired with a rock-solid cash buffer and a mix of assets that don’t move in lockstep.
That’s when I started rethinking how to stay antifragile in a world where AI could make traditional income streams obsolete.
