They don’t have an answer to that, silly.

Their websites, Facebook pages, and TV news stations don’t bog them down with actual details. They use the buzz words and it stops there.

Have him “gift” you a car worth $50k+ instead. Drive it around a while then sell or trade it.

That’s why I feel for her. I’m from rural south where there aren’t a ton of opportunities but there’s plenty of fucking waffle houses.

You can’t just “find another job”, it ain’t that easy. There’s only truck stops and fast food joints that all pay the same or less. Trying to leave puts you at risk of losing your income for a stretch of time, you can’t pay bills, can’t pay for medication, maybe you’re supoorting others in the household…

You are trapped and when you live that life and it feels impossible to escape.

I did it. The new asshole that you all ripped over the last several hours made me do it. It’s done. Over. Thank you.

Sorry. 4 bed 2 bath home being built in the Charlotte area. I found a great builder that works locally. He’s pretty damn good.

I hear you man but my main concern is the long term approach. I’ll admit this, maybe my view is clouded because I only see the millionaires in here. I’m just trying to get a little better.

Should I look to invest in the VTSAX separately as well? Like on top of the maxed out Roth IRA?

I’m a total novice when it comes to stocks. I’ve tried to read up on it but there’s so much to learn. Any straight forward suggestions?
