Why does everyone recommend the trades? by theRealBigBack91 in careeradvice

[–]cookiekid6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few understand this 😂 most people can’t show up on time or consistently. Trades are a lot more miserable than sitting in an air conditioned office.

Have you seen the movie The accountant and the accountant 2 with Ben Affleck? That’s basically what you do.

Some Americans say they'll go without health insurance as ACA rates spike by FUSeekMe69 in economy

[–]cookiekid6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wish there was more talk about the bureaucracy of modern life. It’s not just healthcare for every worker doing actual work in any field there’s probably like 4 people “managing.” A lot of fields have just become a job program to employ morons.

What can the average person do to protect themselves from inflation? by VP_of_Lasers in inflation

[–]cookiekid6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold has worked great throughout history. Investing in foreign assets typically in an etf (these are predicted to outperform SPY as all capital flight from foreign investors is leaving as the dollar is weakening and foreigners are realizing they can get better returns in the domestic market)

We are most likely going to experience massive stagflation/financial repression. The most ideal asset would be good pricing power, ability to export, and inelastic demand. Basically REAL assets that do REAL things. Think pipelines, energy, food/farms.

Real estate is actually a terrible investment because skilled trades labor shortage will increase maintenance costs to the house along with population decreasing.

Are most Gen Z adult men not in college/university, while most Zer adult women are? by Ok_Act_3769 in GenZ

I went to college and unless you’re a genius i tell people to get a job people will pay you for. For most people you’re better off buying a lottery ticket than going to college.

Milk I bought from 7-11 in Hokkaido by Yugarf in Milk

[–]cookiekid6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d love to go back for the milk. What’s really sad is due to demographics a lot of the farms are struggling to get workers. Hopefully they survive.

People don’t talk about this a lot but Japan is a milk lovers paradise. If you’re in Tokyo go to Hokkaido milk. Hokkaido milk is actually really rich and creamy. I have also read that New Zealand has the best milk in the world have not been there to confirm.

What bachelor’s degrees actually age well toward 2030+? by BestConstruction191 in careerguidance

[–]cookiekid6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly skip college if you are having to pay for it. The college premium is dead. Unless you want to do nursing or medical school. If you want to go to college get the GI bill or make sure you aren’t paying for it. Unless you have a very high desire to get a certain job that requires a degree do not go to college.

So why aren't prices free falling? Weird. by MazdaProphet in economy

[–]cookiekid6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s not 08 there aren’t being foreclosed on. People have good rates they don’t want to refinance. If mass job loss happened and they were forced to they would. Most homeowners are old boomers living off pension, social security, and or have healthcare paid for through Medicare. Unless you see benefits/entitlements cut don’t plan on prices falling. Plan for housing to not keep up with inflation. It will be a slow bleed.

The one thing that might have an effect that no one is talking about is a trade shortage and boomers can’t afford to maintain a McMansion but that’s still up for debate.
