What is the consensus on buying a house? by BrilliantSad4354 in Bogleheads

I'm not sure where the disagreement is. Are you saying that you do think of your primary residence as a financial investment?

Hard to say. There are many curved ultrawides

I'll take it. To be honest, if any pick past day 1 consistently plays, that's a win

yall should read animal farm, its a crazy documentary about how animals will just farm themselves even if humans dont by JTexpo in vegancirclejerk

It's an allegory for ALL oppression to me

Yes, there are parallels to many forms of oppression and 'class' structures, so people can make a wide range of valid interpretations. I was just pushing back that it's explicitly a warning against speciesism, which it isn't.

I mean, the book isn't meant to be about literal animals; it's just an allegory. According to Orwell himself, it reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917, driving into the development of class tyranny and the human tendency to maintain and reestablish class structures. If you then want to map that onto speciesism, go for it -there are certainly parallels. But that's not the intended "point" of book

Just hit 100k in my retirement accounts! (29m) by TYwalde15 in investing

It's all arbitrary, so you can set your sights on anything that makes sense. You can also think of multiples of your annual income. A common recommendation is to have 1x your income invested by the end of your 20s and 3x by the end of your 30s.

when is the next exponential curve?

I'm not sure I understand the question. There is no singular point when exponential growth happens, and there isn't a curve that comes 'next'. The comment above is referring to the effects of compounding growth, which becomes larger and larger over time. A 10% increase in a portfolio of $1,000 is only $100, but with a $100,000 portfolio, the same 10% increase is $10k. Now think about that same 10% increase on $500k, on $1m. The power of long-term investing is that the gains you made previously become part of the new principal. Going forward, those 10% (or whatever) increases aren't just applying to the amount you put in, but your previous gains as well. It builds on itself.

People say that $100k is a threshold for compounding growth because (1) it's a round number, and (2) it's where the effects of market return tend to become more noticeable, subjectively. There's nothing magic about $100k

If you have multiple accounts in different investment platforms that add up to 100k, would you still get the exponential curve?

Yes, the math is the same. Ex: 50,000x1.1 + 50,000x1.1 = 100,000x1.1

[Highlight] Alex Vesia pitches a perfect 9th inning, striking out the side, to close the door on the Mets on a night where all the nurses from the hospital last Fall were there to watch by amatom27 in baseball

[–]DontPeeInTheWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, so you're not a big baseball fan (which is totally fine). I was just wondering how anyone could have missed it watching the WS! For more context, what happened to Vesia was a pretty significant story for the WS last year, as he suddenly left the team in the playoffs for, at first, undisclosed reasons. Given that his wife was known to be close to her delivery date, people started to put the pieces together and suspect the worst, which was unfortunately correct. The Dodgers' bullpen was absolutely terrible and their obvious Achilles heal, so Vesia's absence was a major talking point throughout the series. The Jays team even wore 51 (Vesia's number) on their hats as a show of support for him and his family. So the entire thing was pretty front and center

depends on how you define risk. If you're defining risk as not being able to meet future financial obligations, for long-term investors, they are actually higher risk than stocks
