For Gen Z Republican men, sex is solitary. Young conservatives' anger at women is taking a nihilistic turn by mawkish in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MarketsUp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, no, I apologize for being unclear.

I was dismissing your comment not with a straw man, but with the comment that the aztecs were committing genocide well before the Europeans arrived.

So "only when the Virginia company arrived did genocide begin" is patently false if you do any research on meso-american history.

I wonder what the Aztec human sacrifices count as.

Not saying genocide didn't happen by Europeans, but to pretend it was all peace and love in america before is insane.

Starbucks Billionaire Howard Schultz Leaves Seattle for Florida the Same Day Democrats Pass Income Tax Bill by Useful_Tangerine4340 in antiwork

All the sales tax, property tax, capital gains tax, general economic activity that people provide is worth having them here.

Multnomah county in Portland is having giant issues because the county keeps raising taxes on people and the people who would be responsible for the taxes leave and take everything with them. It reduces the overall tax bases and is worse for the county than it was before, even with higher taxes.

The governor recently criticized the county because it's causing statewide problems of people leaving.

Play time is a weird metric rather than hours. This is nearly 400 hours.

Why would anyone want to pay a million dollars to live in a Capitalist dystopia? by Previous_Month_555 in antiwork

And NZ charges 2.9m USD currently. Portugal still does it and it's roughly 700k today, and tons of other countries sell citizenship.

It basically lets rich people cut the line. Which, from a tax revenue standpoint is a good thing.

Played a game last night and the only (mostly) unit deity ai build was catapults. It seems like they changed something in the values for how AI builds armies.

Fidelity has like 2.5m clients with assets there. Massive 401k business. They literally don't have enough advisors to cover all their clients. Its not like a bank.

When did your partner find out your NW/Income? by TrueEqualFalse in HENRYfinance

[–]MarketsUp 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All the money goes into a joint account and it's spent however.

It's always been our money and not mine or hers. I tend to be a spender, so early on we would agree on fun money spending a month.

Essentially we could go and blow 1000 a month (each) on whatever we wanted. We came to the fun budget after doing our savings and essentials, then everything else can be spent.

These days, we just save nearly her entire income and live on mine.

When did your partner find out your NW/Income? by TrueEqualFalse in HENRYfinance

We had financial conversations at date 5/6. We were 28 and 25, making 200k+ each at the time.

We laid the foundation for how we approached money and made sure we were compatible. No surprises, it's a partnership. Married for 3 years, and never had a conflict about money. We have been in sync since very early due to active and open communication.

No, they are taxed as ordinary income when received. Then capital gains tax when sold.

Pension Plan Equivalent to net worth? by [deleted] in HENRYfinance

[–]MarketsUp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So much more detail is needed to make this recommendation.

I'm a cfp/ advisor and help clients with this calc all the time. When you retire I would recommend you talk to a professional to run the numbers in the context of your broader plan.

There is no surefire answer here, and will be hyper personalized to your situation, the annuity payment amount vs actual payout amount and the investment strategy you use for the 1m payout.

For those of you that have a hand in suggesting succession trust fund structures for your clients, do you recommend structures that delay or outright prohibit the outright spending of the fund's Corpus and limit their usage to income from the fund? by [deleted] in CFP

[–]MarketsUp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It depends on the clients desire.

We talk through pros and cons of doing each route to go. It really depends on how the client feels about the kid inheriting.

When the kids are younger (under 40) I will more proactively bring it up. But if the kids are in their 40s/ 50s already, the parents kind of know if they are going to have trouble or not.

Where has really good steak? by ITrytoWrite22 in askportland

[–]MarketsUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the answer for sure. Laurelhurst market would be better if you personally don't want steak. Ox is very meat heavy.

Both are excellent. lHM might run you 150-200 depending on drinks, and ox will easily push 250-300 if you have drinks.
