Weird. I bought a used car in Canada last week, and paid about two thirds by check, and the rest in cash, with a bit also on a credit card, just to collect points. Cash is still good in Canada, at least for the moment. It remains popular because the TAXES ARE TOO DAMN HIGH. There, I said it.

You need to use other methods to increase the return. Start a home business, and deduct the office expenses. Rent out a room or a basement and collect income this way. Also, you haven't accounted for the cash you've saved on rent. Owning a house is also a decent way to protect your equity from inflation. Given the likely high immigration rates in the future, housing values will continue to rise as demand increases. ymmv.

I was at a startup where they showed the hardware sales funnel with NO customers anywhere except some "possibles" at the very top of the funnel. After a couple of months of this, there was a pivot away from hardware to focus on software, which actually had a few customers.

Another startup, signs of trouble. Didn't take my picture for the corporate web page, and also asked to meet with a lawyer for documenting possible patent claims.

It does seem to have the tsundere model nailed down pretty well. I encountered a fair number of errors trying to generate a response in the beginning. After a bit, the dialog starts to show some repetition and some unnatural tsundere interjections. It's easy to hit the GPT-4 usage limits in poking the model!
