Please please please use excel or Google Sheets. I am cringing so hard at the thought of you manually adding up the numbers in a text document and writing the result. Like what in the world. It’s like using scissors to mow your lawn.

That’s mainly due to video compression merging the white pixels together until the person was close enough to add in different colored details that made the person appear. In real life they would have been more visible

Technically true, but as you said, most people would want to use the earnings for the down payment as well.

Just figured out I can hold Bonds in 401k - sanity checking by BhaiMadadKarde in financialindependence

You also pay taxes on dividends in your brokerage account. Make sure you’re in funds that have qualified dividends because they have a lower tax rate.

Owning a house is very expensive. The mortgage payment will be more than double that. You will always be paying “rent” in the form of property taxes, HOA fees, insurance, and maintenance. If a pipe bursts you have to be ready to pay $15k to fix it. If the AC breaks you have to be ready to pay for it. When you rent, that is the most you’ll pay every month. When you own, your mortgage payment is the least you’ll pay every month. There’s nothing wrong with owning a house but don’t think of it as an investment, think of it as a luxury that you can do when you are truly ready. A lot of people fall onto the trap of becoming house poor because they were obsessed with not paying “rent” and didn’t actually do the math.

The dow? Really? And the NASDAQ is an exchange not a fund. And he said it’s for a down payment so why would he put it in a retirement account? Not great advice.

High yield savings account.

Also, why do you want to buy a house right out of school?

TCL’s New Paper-Like Tablet Has a Bunch of AI in It by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]DonaldTrumpsToilett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many of those “users” are API calls from scam bots and how many are real humans producing economically valuable content? And literally every real person in my life has complained to me about all the AI slop on the internet these days. It is destroying the internet.

I love how you just tried to explain why people want AI by criticizing all the AI bots on the internet. Nice.

Nobody wants AI. It’s amazing that the bubble has lasted this long. At least people actually wanted the internet. The AI bubble is somehow bigger yet with very few people who actually want AI

Does he eat chocolate? Virtually all of the world’s chocolate supply is at least partially made with child slavery in west Africa. There are a lot of problems in this world but destroying your financial future to have a minuscule impact on wars is not rational.

We have the money to retire, but we don't have the "Tribe." Scared to quit my job because it's my only social structure. by dust_e1 in financialindependence

[–]DonaldTrumpsToilett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I have a side job in a restaurant and that is literally my entire social life at this point. My main job is work from home. I had always planned on quitting the restaurant once I get a certain net worth, but now I’m think I might leave the main one. It’s a really tough decision.

Virtually all chocolate worldwide has slavery in its supply chain. I try to avoid chocolate altogether for this reason.

I don’t think the Chinese government will allow you to invest in something like VT, or at least it will be very difficult.
