In 2020, an income of $66,000 was enough to cover payments on the median priced home in the US. By the end of 2025, according to Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, that number had climbed past $120,000. Wages did not nearly double in five years. The house is roughly the same house. What changed is how much of your income a currency built to lose value now takes, just to afford the same house. Source:

Technology has gotten cheaper every year for three decades. Compute, storage, bandwidth, all of it, falling in price every year like clockwork. Somehow you did not get cheaper to employ, or richer for using cheaper tools. Worth asking who kept the difference.

Some people don’t even realise that the internet is fully monitored. They’re being tricked into believing decision are made for their (kids’) safety. We need a sovereign internet that nobody controls. View quoted note →

The US jobs report released this week showed average hourly earnings up 3.5% over the past year. The most recent inflation reading, from May, put prices up 4.2% over the same stretch. A raise that is smaller than the price rise is not a raise. It is a slower loss. Nobody explains that arithmetic in a school system built around the idea that a rising number on a payslip is automatically good news. Learn what school never taught you.

You do not need to understand the whole financial system before you do anything about it. You need to understand one part of it, self-custody, inflation, one line item in your budget, and act on that part. Waiting for full clarity is just a comfortable way of staying still. Full clarity was never coming anyway, in school or afterwards. Learn what school never taught you.

School never taught you how to invest. Not shares, not property, not anything beyond "get a job and save." Fair enough that Bitcoin wasn't part of the curriculum. Most of us had already graduated by 2009, when it was created. Less fair that nobody explained inflation, or that a currency of unlimited supply was never the only option. An asset with a fixed supply of 21 million, verifiable by anyone, exists now, whether or not school got around to mentioning it.

Another example of how the government imposes control through the centralized system we’ve all gotten used to and are now trying to break free from. View quoted note →

A phone that would have cost a fortune in 1990 now costs less than a tank of petrol. Computing power got roughly a thousand times cheaper in a generation. Your rent did not get the memo. Neither did groceries, energy, or a university degree. Technology keeps deflating prices. Somewhere between the factory and your bank account, most of that saving gets intercepted.

You spent 13 years in formal education. Not one class on how the monetary system works. Not one lesson on inflation. Not one hour on what to actually do with a salary. Genuinely curious what they thought you were going to do with the Pythagorean theorem. Learn what school never taught you.
