4.5 hour long client meeting - successfully got them underway with a new QBO account. Looks like I'll be spending a comparable amount of time solving QBO issues at another client tomorrow.

GM. I feel like this week will be good. But I'm also feeling called to lean into the inevitable challenges. Don't forget this is your last month to make any strategic liquidations to create capital losses that offset any capital gains.

I don't disagree... Highest risk from being in a hurry or being careless... But must happen often enough for it to be a known and named scam tactic.

Scammers "poison" your wallet history by sending tiny transactions (dusting) from an address that almost perfectly mimics a trusted recipient (same start/end chars). ​The Trap: You copy the FAKE address from your history list by mistake and send your funds to the scammer. ​ Safety Rule: NEVER copy from your recent transaction history. ALWAYS verify the full address, character-by-character, or use a saved Address Book.

I'm really sorry to hear that... It would definitely be demoralizing to lose everything and have to start from scratch... I've got a lot to learn myself.
