Today, I announcing that I’m auctioning off Lazy Man and Money. It’s been a long journey (almost 16 years now), but I want to focus more on Kid Wealth. Like IBM selling off its mainframe business and focusing on artificial intelligence, it’s time for me to focus on the growth of Kid Wealth. I simply don’t have the time for Lazy Man and Money anymore and I think this article is Exhibit A of that
Need some more reasons why I am moving on? Here’s a few:
- Auctions Are Fun
Who doesn’t love a good auction? Remember when Sharper Image doubled its stock price simply by mentioning that it was adding auctions to its website. You don’t? That was nearly 25 years ago. It was the blockchain or meme stock of its time. Nevermind, I’m sure that I lost half the audience as they try to figure out what Sharper Image is. - Pricing
I think I can get the best price from fans. You know the value of this website. You and see all the daily comments and the interactions. - Rights
The winner will get access access to legendary articles such as Budgeting for a Tank, Monkey Butlers Reviewed, the WATER – work and toil/eliminate retirement movement, and calculating kids in your net worth.Sorry, it does not include the article on Bitcoin in 2013 that I sold as an NFT.
- Incidentally
- Love
You’ve shown me so much love over the years. It’s time for me to share it back.
I just wanted to mention that the Badonkadonk Tank is still on my Amazon Wish List. I just had another birthday and yet no Badonkadonk arrived. I showed the kids and I have their backing. Maybe with the proceeds of this sale, I can make that dream come true.
Before you place your bids, I wanted to cover few more things:
- Fair Market Value
It’s hard to say what fair market value is for Lazy Man and Money. That’s why an auction format makes sense. I’ve run a lot of experiments on here. Let’s see where this final one takes us.
- Opportunity
There’s a tremendous opportunity with the Lazy Man brand. Lazy and personal finance have gone together for decades. Most people don’t want to actively manage their money. They want to put it on auto-pilot. The winner can clean up a couple of thousand old posts, focus on a few SEO things, and probably double revenue quickly and easily.
- Outstanding Value
I want to be sure that the winner gets outstanding value for their money. That’s why I’ll work 20 hours a week for one entire fortnight to transition the property.
- Listing
Stay tuned for more details on the listing, but feel free to help start the initial bidding in the comment section below. - Summary
It’s the right time and the right day. Let’s see where this goes!
Wow, that’s big news! I’ve really enjoyed your updates and information, so big shoes to fill for whoever takes over.
Will you “guest host” from time to time to keep us up to date on you guys?
And IBM still has its mainframe business.
I see what you did there.
It’s always a tough balance.
AND, what is embarrassing is that I had just talked to my wife about the “topic” of the day and how I don’t really care for that “topic” and still fell for it.
Sorry. I’m glad that it worked, though.
I thought IBM spun off the mainframes under Kyndryl Holdings (ticker KD). I got some of that a while back. I didn’t follow it much.
I don’t care that much for this american celebrations… they just don’t make any sense to me… :D
But… keeping in the spirits of the post, I’d calculate it’s current market value somewhere between USD 9 to 10K.
Maybe you can add it to your monthly portfolio posts?!
For 9-10K, I’ll keep it. I guess :-).
I do include blogging income on the monthly posts, but I don’t include it in my net worth section at the end of the post.
You can have my answer now, if you like. My offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.
Your bid for $200,000 is noted. Good luck.
