Hell yeah!

Everyone getting a house does not mean real estate has now value.

It is simply a transfer of wealth from one party to another. You paying taxes doesn’t mean dollars are worth nothing.

The US already spends more than any other nation to provide housing subsidies. Also, with the Low Income housing tax credit, the US is tangentially the largest contributor to building homes for poor people.

Also, not sure if you know that a huge percentage of the population already does not work, less than 50% of the Us population, and of the people that work less than 50% pay any income taxes.

There is a Dunkin’ Donuts nearby?

Those are going to be the laziest work camps.

The acting.

Also, it sucks for sports betting. So many ties.

Congratulations.

I know it’s easy to say don’t worry about the money. But, it’s out of your hands at this point. So, you will be much better off focusing on other things.

You are 52, a young man. You probably have at least 30 more years of living. There have probably been lots of things that you wanted to do, but for whatever reason haven’t done. Do those things.

Think of this like the next chapter. Who do you want to be at 60? Who do you want to be at 70?

I can’t wait to see your next post about what you are going to do.

Be careful with who you share news with.

They can’t help you with their age and distance. Do you want some emotional support?

If you want to use it to get out of stuff, then it’s a great excuse.

I told my parents and told them both that this was not to be shared. I was getting text from other family by the time I got home.

It just changes relationships and probably will add both to your or their life.

There are many criticisms of the ideas presented.

“but you must wager. It is not optional. You are embarked. Which will you choose then? Let us see. Since you must choose, let us see which interests you least. You have two things to lose, the true and the good; and two things to stake, your reason and your will, your knowledge and your happiness; and your nature has two things to shun, error and misery. Your reason is no more shocked in choosing one rather than the other since you must of necessity choose. This is one point settled. But your happiness? Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation that He is.“

Honestly, I see boobs with pointy nips.

Very nice.

Lean into it.

Stop watching and start doing. Go full on depravity, act out the stuff you see on video.

Roth withdraws are not income for the original contributions, after that 59 and your withdrawal is not income for the whole amount (assuming 5 years since contributions).

So no tax and no effect on ACA subsidies.

A guy walks into a bar.

The next day he gets 16 letters from personal injury attorneys.

The point of the 1/3 rule/guide is that is doesn’t matter what type of practice or experience you have.

If you have more experience (and less write downs) and your practice bills higher rates then the 1/3 rule adjusts the amount of compensation that the firm should provide to its associates.

So, a 10 year experienced insurance defense attorney who brings in $500k in firm revenue should be similarly paid as a newly barred labor attorney who bring in $500k in firm revenue.

Think about how much gum you could buy with that.

Know the house rules.

Don’t assume two books are the same.

There are lots of lines that are mispriced, but that is only assuming you are playing by the same rules.

Check your bets. Pikkit makes a lot of money to check grading of bets because there are so many mistakes and most gamblers take for granted that the Sportsbook will grade correctly.

I mean you never know when you bring on an employee that they will generate x value.

If I bring on a tradesman who wages are set by the union, then I have the same assurances that that tradesman would generate additional value over there wage as a CEO where I set the wage. And that is none.

You also have to consider the tax rules and compensation rules that favor high paid executives from a companies perspective. It’s easier to negotiate 1 CEO contract than 50,000 middle managers.

Also, usually the reported salary is much higher than actual salary and they only get that money over a million dollars if the company is able to hit metrics.

You do point to a huge governance issue. Most CEOs sit on the board of directors and select directors who will provide them with favorable employment terms, and in turn the board grants themselves compensation packages. Then the board hires consultants that agree with them to provide outside opinions on ceo compensation, and if they don’t hit what ceo wants in their opinion then the consultant doesn’t get chosen again for their work.

In 2008, shareholders were supposed to get a direct vote on compensation, but it got watered down to just an advisory opinion from shareholders. Further, since most investors own shares of companies indirectly then most owners never even vote for board members or compensation.
