I Hate Money: Volume #1

It is with tremendous pride/shame that I send this inaugural test letter out to my first 9 13 subscribers, 8 of whom are my own burner email addresses. I do not yet know if or how I will use this platform, but as you are by now likely aware, I have many thoughts regularly bubbling up as I go about my day, real estate market related and not. Once upon a time, our old friend X, formerly known as Twitter, served as a pressure release valve for this build up.

But that seems like a solution rapidly decaying in its effectiveness, so perhaps I will indeed make a habit of properly formatting, editing and generating actual longer format pieces from my stream of consciousness (which is an illusion). By longer, I can’t imagine I’m writing essays, 280 characters was quite enough for my undiagnosed ADHD, but long enough that some coherent ideas occasionally emerge. Thus was born this ironically unironic but definitely ironically named newsletter, inspired ultimately by none other than an embarrassing Pacaso Reg A crowdfunding campaign.

I will admit finding it very funny finding myself, after spending the majority of the 2007-2013 period getting my financial news fix from RSS feeds centralizing my newsletter subs, transitioning to sourcing that same news from social media, and now watching the social media network effect implode, asking the internet undertakers to please dig Google Reader out of the ground.

Stand by…? Tell your friends?

Could be a while until the next one, I just wanted to see what it feels like to press send.
