Hours of work needed to buy just one share of the S&P 500 just hit a new all-time high: 187 hours.

As I tell my kids:
Don’t look at the price tag.
Look at how many hours of your life — your blood, sweat, and effort — it takes to buy the thing.
Then decide if it’s actually worth it.
When the amount of work required keeps rising while what you get keeps shrinking, that’s not “innovation” or “AI magic.”
That’s over-speculation.
Buffett said it best:
Price is what you pay. VALUE is what you get.
Everyone screams about the price going up…
but nobody asks whether the VALUE justifies the hours of work required to own it.
That’s the truth — not the narratives.
