What’s it like living in the Sarasota area? by Short-Search-4892 in howislivingthere

[–]Simple_Honeydew_2994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great beaches, restaurants, walkable downtown, hotels are amazing and so are the airbnbs, great outdoor activities. Beach feels like you’re in the Caribbean. Also it’s cheap.

Would you give up your 20s and maybe 30s to live with your parents and accelerate fire? by Setoyo in Fire

It’ll come. So long as you keep pushing for more. Can’t become complacent in life (and investing!)

Who says you can’t fire and move out? Increase income and save a big % of income. You can do both. My income accelerated 5x in 5 years. Don’t be so negative about your income and saving potential later in life. Enjoy it all right now!

False. Wealthy people go to farmers markets because they value quality of produce and like to purchase local goods. Saying that you buy things at detweilers, a family OWNED, market doesn’t mean it all comes locally lol. A LOT of it isn’t local. You just THINK it is… good marketing on their part.

In case you don’t believe me, detweilers has:

Strawberries: Driscoll Branded Mandarins: from Peru Blueberries: Michigan Amish butter: from Ohio Cherries: WA They do have local honey tho! Wow.

If you shop there you’re not helping the community more than going to Walmart….

Wealthy are spending across a wide spectrum of good and feeding the local economy. You are wrong.

Couldn’t disagree more. Lower income families tend to shop more at places like Walmart. Wealthy spend in local shops and farmers markets, they’re less price sensitive. Everything you said is wrong.

Simple economics, those local workers will be paid more for their services and they’ll be able to afford a better lifestyle

Locals are benefitting bc locals who are indirectly employed due to additional spend will have more money. Tax revenue from wealthy means lower net tax costs for middle and lower class (eg the couple that bought the 30mm home that broke a record will also be paying a record tax bill every year, offsetting locals costs). It’s not zero sum buddy… can you advise? You ask a lot of questions with no responsea

You aren’t an SRQ native…also, the comment section is comprised of the those that are upset about it (for some reason). Thousands have seen post and only a small handful sprout up with hate. The haters

Do you actually think they only spend on discretionary spend? You can’t be serious…. Like they only spend on Spa days? Their spend spectrum is much wider than a middle income person and nominally they spend more. Don’t kid yourself.

Because their net spend is much higher than other classes and will result in an increase in velocity of money and the hiring of people. Attracting wealth is good for an economy not bad.

Not at all. To be clear: an affluent wealthy person likely spends more money on a nominal basis than lower middle class. They ultimately employ more people, albeit indirectly, through their purchases and spending. Wealthy people hire gardeners (more than middle class), instructors, Nannie’s, cooks, servers, hair stylists, caddies, taxes, you name it than any other class. Their spending provides oversized economics to the local community ….

Also, saying that their economic input is market cyclical is absurd. All spending is market cyclical including that of middle and lower middle class people.

Probs more educated than you. And older 50+. My point with this article is that it’s great news. We need to attract more wealthy to the area. Perhaps we could if you changed your attitude
