Our burgeoning community on Reddit has almost grown 133% in ~3+ weeks (almost four).

Making it warm and welcoming to all has been super important. It let's people participate if they want or gives lurkers reasons to come back and check in on us. One day they will decide to participate and we will have even more discussion here.

Also making this a community that has fun (our signs & memes) but also has a serious aspect of it where we discuss strategies to grow wealth, approach the market, our experiences coming up with plans and executing, also creates value for others that are looking for similar information and discussions.

And our signs are great at leaving people curious while also conveying our mindset and draws people in.

What are other peoples ideas? It would be great to continue this momentum to grow this Reddit community but also continue to push our mindset outside of Reddit and also have some live events someday.

Would love to hear what others think! No wrong ideas, even if atypical and outside of the box. We are here to grow together and stay open minded. 😊

And also grows the community very well 😊

Got a chance to enjoy some nature and touch some grass yesterday with my dog.

Having a great time taking photos and spreading the message of AWR. Does anyone want to play hot potato with our signs to have some fun? Form a little group of individuals where once one person takes a photo we pass the "take a photo potato" off to another person?

What do you think u/Charlie_awr u/SandyisBlessed u/Old_Stage_77

And if anyone else is reading wants to play let us know. We can see how long we can keep the chain/passing of the potato going? Maybe we someone takes a photo within 48 hours if they get the potato passed to them? If they know they aren't available they can pass it on.

Just a fun little game to make out of our signs.

The article is behind a paywall so if you need to you can access it with archive[dot]today (which might redirect you to the [dot]ph domain).

Pretty short and sweet summary of what the market is doing today, how investors are actually cognizant of relevant metrics/data that lead to companies evaluations, as well as talking about how current consumer sentiment isn't reflective of what the stock market measures (companies performance) but in the future could impact as the impacts of higher oil/gas prices hits consumers.

It has been echoed from others that the impact of oil/gas prices and consumer spending will take time to materialize in companies earnings. Of course this may never come to be the case but most of what I am hearing is about how the immediate shocks won't materialize right away (except at the pump - which is ouch).

Again I think this is a short and sweet summary of where we are in time and space.

What do others think? Or do you have some other articles that you have read that refute this?

There signs were always there!

If you are new to this community welcome! Thanks for checking us out.

We hope you will continue to remain curious, check in on us, and when you are ready say hi yourself. :)

Happy #SignsSunday

So many more layoffs today announced:

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/23/meta-will-cut-10percent-of-workforce-as-it-pushes-more-into-ai.html

Some many people are struggling to just make it month-to-month with their finances, even software engineers, and the disruption from AI that cause employers to layoff employees, especially from companies that are profitable just hurts these individuals more.

Note I am pro-AI but in general in todays state it feels like AI is used as an excuse to layoff individuals.

I know everyone doesn't understand why people are building AWR. That's OK. A lot of these people though are looking for ADDITIONAL ways to improve their economic situation, even if we need to engineer solutions ourselves. Even if they look atypical.

The individuals in AWR aren't idiots. We aren't all putting our eggs into a single basket. People also invest in stocks, ETFs, options, bonds, whatever. But AWR gives us an opportunity to do something about our problems vs. sitting around and just despairing and raging without an outlet.

Some people just don't get it. AWR isn't just a cryptocurrency. It represents people that are doing something about their situation instead of waiting around for others to do something for us (especially our politicians that move so much slower than a group of organized people).

We won't wait around anymore. AWR gives us agency to try anything and everything to not feel like we are falling behind or waiting on others.

Anyone else feel the same?
