Beginning of the lockdowns we join a call with a client team and a female on their team has the Zoom name "Voluptuous Babe". I guess she forgot to change the name after the previous night's encounter. 😂

We had to keep a straight face (and no - she didn't match description if you're wondering)

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?

How do you get good at thinking on your feet? I find I always need time to think and analyse before being able to answer client queries (even those that are considered simple by others).
