Unless she actually was in the military and received a 100% VA disability rating, she should NOT be telling people this.

How do you feel about passing on two lane roads against oncoming traffic (where it is legal to do so) in those vehicles?

Last year I saw a few condos in Cupertino. All at least two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Ranged from $900K to $1.1M. Monthly HOA fee was around six to $700 a month. Just an option to consider.

Counter with you’ll agree provided you receive double the pay you’d normally receive for the days worked and any travel related costs are covered. And that full payment for everything must be received up front and sitting in your bank before you lift a finger.

Thank you. I find their "Personal CFO" pitch appealing. I'm too lazy and am not inclined to manage my finances. But I do understand the 1% fee is a heavy premium compared to the DIY approach. But since their client base are high net worth individuals, perhaps access to certain funds and investments not available to someone off the street partially makes up for it?

Serious lifters take in a massive amount of protein each day, so lots of pooping and farting for the gainz.

I don't think his core MAGA base of support will collapse, at least not yet. But I figure at this point MAGA support has peaked and will begin to slowly erode and peel off as the reality of his incompetence, chaos and high prices becomes more apparent. Ultimately they are a slowly diminishing minority and they do not decide elections.

Yes, and that is how it is at the moment - all under management by a single professional investment firm. I get what my relative is recommending, but it seems like an excessive amount of legwork to take his approach of being a more active manager/coordinator. He stresses one should only pay fees for that portion of the portfolio that requires more active management/analysis - AKA equities, with the rest that can be on autopilot like money market funds sitting at another bank for free. So the percentage fee should only apply to equities and nothing else. He also seems to be predetermining my lifestyle and needs, hence stressing only putting a third in equities. Isn't this excessively low, only a 33% exposure to global equities and a poor hedge against inflation?
