🧠 I Outsmarted Contractors with AI. I do the same with 401k providers.
When we decided to convert our garage, I had no idea it would turn into a $30,000 crash course in asking better questions. Contractors threw around jargon, pushed “standard” designs, and got cagey about costs. Sound familiar?
Turns out, the 401(k) industry plays the same game.
This story is about how I used AI to see through the noise, challenge the experts, and walk away with a better result—both in construction and retirement planning.

🧠 I anonymously asked a different AI to review my article and here’s what it said
“A compelling and insightful critique of opaque industries.”
“Their bullshit detector is strong—a plus for clients tired of canned advisor responses.”
“Not pretentious. Results-driven. Focused on transparency and education.”
“4.5/5 — Would recommend, but their approach isn’t for those who prefer a hands-off relationship.”
Honestly? I’ll take it. Best review I’ve ever gotten from a robot.
I’m not here to sell you anything.
But if what I say makes sense and we’re a good fit for each other, you might want to hire me.
