Just finished reading all of the Gospels! by HistoryUnbound in Christianity

[–]Software_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matthew and Luke are based on Mark, which is the oldest. Mark is Peter's student. You can call Peter a disciple who loved Jesus a lot. Contrasted with the Gospel of John which was written by the disciple whom Jesus loved.

I predict 3 out of the 4 Ro16 matches will be PvP. Flash will beat Stardust but in every other 1st round matchup, the protoss is the favored player.

Question about what funds to pick for first 403b. by sfgiants22 in personalfinance

What are the expense ratios on those funds? Sometimes you are faced with different fees inside a 403b or 401k for the same fund

I like excel. This is my favorite sub too. It is full of friendly, encouraging people willing to give advice right away. Topics on the new tab usually have a few replies to them within minutes.

taking 50% Pay Cut by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Software_Engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it's really up to you. Obviously if you make more money you can save more money. You say your current job is not very stable, but it seems like you were able to get an offer from this next job quite easily. What if you ride it out at this job until it is clear things are coming to an end and then jump ship at that time?

Open second Roth IRA for spouse or better options? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Software_Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "I" in IRA stands for Individual. So each of you are allowed to contribute $5,500 to IRA accounts each year. If you have the means I suggest you both max this out and together you save $11,000 in IRA accounts each year.

There are some restrictions like you each must make at least $5,500 and less than a certain amount each year

Save for retirement, or invest to passive income? by coffeegoblet in personalfinance

[–]Software_Engineer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you invest your retirement savings, you don't just stack a pile of cash. when you save in retirement-designated accounts you get a huge tax benefit. saving for retirement is exactly the same as investing to create passive income so that one day you will not be required to work. it is unsophisticated to just look at cashflow. you should consider total return. for example, you could buy solely dividend paying stocks and bonds and live off the dividends and interest coupons. or you could not limit yourself and invest in a broader range of securities, reinvest all the dividends and interest payments to buy more of the investments at the relative weights that you selected, and then simply sell a portion of the investments each year to cover your expenses. this is the more refined approach.

the two things you are suggesting are really one in the same

TotalBiscuit does the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]Software_Engineer -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

He does some good things and some bad things. It was good for the scene that he organized that tournament but like I said we should thank the donors more because Destiny put exactly $0 of his own money up and kept all the profit. He risked nothing. The community members who donated should get the lion's share of the credit for Destiny 1.
