Texas water workers in high demand Texas is grappling with both aging water infrastructure and a workforce shortage in the water and wastewater industry. About 37% of water and 31% of wastewater workers are expected to retire by 2028, with the younger generation not filling these roles. A new law, House Bill 1845, allows high school students to work towards water and wastewater operator qualifications while still in school, aiming to address the workforce challenge in this sector.

Graduation, first jobs, and financial transitions, oh my! In our latest episode of Making Cents of Money, we’re joined again by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Donovan Sanchez, CFP® to break down first steps for that first full-time job after graduation!

With summer right around the corner, it’s time to consider ‘opportunity costs.’ Every dollar you spend today means less to spend tomorrow. I can help you save for what’s most important this summer.

Random Sunday Thoughts #77 1. One of the impactful lessons I learned in my first job, a competitive, reputable wall street training program, was from the greatest dealmaker of all time, Mike Milken, who taught us to "empower others to help us write tickets (trades/deals) because 50 percent of something is better than 0". The two historically large domain name transactions I have recently overseen, Home*com and Chat*com, both with my great friend larry fischer, followed Milken's advise and never would have occurred without doing so. Same with significant recent deals with Adolfo Mireles, Amanda W.,Arif Sengoren, Frank Tillmanns to name a few. I do not see anyone as competition but rather, peers with their own relationships and network, that double my chances of success. In traditional real estate, not all but most of the high end transactions not only have a co-broker but promote it, desire it, and market it. Brokers do open houses just for other brokers so they can bring a transaction to the table. This is how I approach domain names, digital real estate , as well. If everyone viewed it this way, many more transactions would close. I relish the deals that get done together with what some may view as competition. It is a formula for a better process, more liquidity, and a more vibrant asset class. 2. We at Hilco Digital Assets have had a busy summer and I expect, as I have posted here, a robust rest of 2023 for the high end .com domain asset class, and several significant transactions on deals/domains on which we are advising. Since my son had a full time internship this summer and my daughter was headed to her Freshman year of college, it was also a very local, working summer. I will be traveling across the pond this week and thus, after 76 straight weekly Random Sunday Thoughts, doing an abbreviated one this week. I do anticipate some really big announcements before September ends and they will be in Random Sunday Thoughts. 3.Today is the annual day that some of the most looked forward to words in the country are announced at 1pm EST, by the legendary Scott Hanson; "7 hours of commercial free football starts NOW". So many massive prize pools on Draftkings start today. There are 3 different Milly Makers ($1m to first). I have won many large prize tourneys but my endless pursuit for winning a Milly Maker begins yet again. If I can sell a domain for $20m, I can win one of these at some point. 4. Domains we are overseeing the acquisition/sale of include Tiger*com 🐅, Perfect*com, First*com 🥇, Iconic*com, Sword*com 🗡️, Elm*com🌳,Track*com, Sample*com, Jog*com 🏃♀️, Test*com, Atom*com, Chef*com 🧑🍳and so many more of the most valuable digital assets, brands, and real estate on 🌏, all viewable at HilcoDigital*com/domains Until Next Week (literally) #domainnames #domains #digitalassets #brands #venturecapital #strategy #NFL

Day 4(Chapters 10-12): 1) Step one to making money and making accurate decisions regarding money is to tell yourself "I know nothing." There is little to no control you have and also just as little knowledge when it comes to the world around you. So the first step is to accept that and move forward despite that. 2) Ironically enough, things that have never happened in history happen pretty often. For example, new sports records are being broken every other day since new players are so much more advanced than in the past. Because of that, overreliance on the past can impede the future when it comes to monetary decisions. Always have an open brain and accept the unacceptable. 3) People are emotional and have feelings. They are not simple Excel spreadsheets with numbers on them. Understand that those emotions live inside every human. Regardless of how you might want to limit them when making decisions, they will still linger and help make those decisions, so don't block those emotions. Listen to them and give them the time of day so you can make a fully rational decision with your head and heart. - Abhinav Hari Venkata Hari
