In the minds of investors young and old, artificial intelligence (AI) is an investing theme or trend that seems to be right up there with the birth of the internet and the dot-com craze, or indeed the long-ago Industrial Revolution. But over the last 12 months, according to a recent webinar on the topic, market reaction to AI seems to have morphed from enthusiasm about an “unstoppable trend” to fear of the imminent bursting of an alleged “AI bubble.”

Our old friends, fear and greed, loom large here. Clearly, greed is uppermost to the extent AI.

At the end of this year, The Wealthy Barber himself, David Chilton, is planning to retire. Ironically, he will do so at the traditional retirement age of 65, which he’ll reach late in October.

He revealed this on his popular The Wealthy Barber podcast on June 10, 2026, which you can find here. Later that month, Globe Advisor reporter Deanne Gage devoted a full column to his retirement (paywalled). 

Chilton announced he plans to “shut down” at the end of 2026, including the now-two-year-old.

After a fire or flood, the financial fallout can be costly

You’ve driven through a flurry of embers to safety. You’ve found high ground as floodwaters rushed in. You’ve dodged the immediate danger to life and limb, and then the financial reality hits. For those forced from their homes due to fire or flood—in many cases with little more than the clothes on their backs—there are few things more daunting than having to then navigate unexpected costs, insurance claims, and bills that still need to be paid. 

The financial fallout can last for years

“The impacts of these natural disasters are much broader than just that physical damage. It can disrupt virtually every aspect of someone’s financial life,” said Ali Harris-Saunders, with the non-profit Credit Counselling Society. 

She divides the financial impacts into near- and long-term. Near-term includes the cost of accommodations, food, and other essentials during an evacuation, along with lost income and repairs to damaged property. Longer-term considerations could include reduced property values, higher insurance premiums, and the debt that often racks up once emergency funds are depleted. 

“I find that.
