Just got off a project status call with a client who was for sure tipsy…Tuesday happy hour I guess. Got them to agree to some next steps I wasn't expecting- win for me!

I had a start-up client who did weekly Thursday happy hours and for some reason insisted on scheduling status calls early Friday morning. We had more than a few obviously hungover discussions with them. Their business did eventually go under and none of us were surpised.

Wow good for you but yikes- who's drinking that much on a Tuesday and taking work calls? Seems unprofessional on their part.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:

- 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?
