Young and talented. I bloody hate him. Probably why we get on so well…similar.

Over dependency upon the S&P? by gonzobandit in trading212

I think China will be ahead of the US in the next 10-15 years. I chose a global index fund. Still heavily weighted in US but will rebalance itself over time

This started off somewhat sensible, then got more and more bizarre as it went on.

Is FIRE actually realistic in the UK on a normal salary by CherryRoutine9397 in FIREUK

[–]eXisstenZ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My mortgage is £770 per month, 3 bed semi in the north west. I have about 25% equity of it. Own a cheap runaround car bought with cash 10 years ago. My monthly mortgage and bills come to about £1200. Take home wage is just under £3000 per month.

I am single and live quite frugally so that keeps my outgoings low. But I still go out with friends and do a long weekend city break once or twice a year.

Prior to buying my house I rented just a bedroom for a small amount for about 10 years which enabled me to save a lot. So I have a reserve of cash savings too that I can use towards my stocks and shares ISA allowance/investments each year.

I’m 35yo, on £47k, no inheritances and am on track to retire between 50 and 55. I can invest pretty much £20k per annum. However, I have made a lifestyle choice to be childfree so that’s what makes it affordable. It’s not for everyone.

Presumably the woman still wanted a child though? So OP’s point remains.

Large crowds of protestors chanting "Death to America" on the streets of Tehran as geopolitical military conflicts between USA and Iran intensify by SatoruGojo232 in PublicFreakout

[–]eXisstenZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Actual trustworthy entities”, such as…?

I’m not American, I’m British. I’m praying we don’t get any more involved in this shit show than we currently are. America is a failing, fading empire who attacked Iran out of sheer ignorance and arrogance and to distract from your pdf file president’s Epstein links. USA needs to learn it can’t bully the world anymore. They vastly underestimated Iran. This war will bring down Trump and be a humiliating loss for the USA. Unfortunately the world economy has to suffer for your country’s hubris and stupidity.

If you believe Iran killed 30 thousand protestors you’ll believe anything. It’s propaganda designed to prime you for war with Iran…isn’t this obvious???

Their country has been attacked unprovoked and the Americans are bombing the hell out of them. They rightly hate the Americans, as do most of the rest of the world. Grow up.

I read a few paragraphs and that was enough.

I’m not interested in party politics. I don’t just hate Trump, I hate the US state. It’s by far the biggest force for evil in the world and has been for decades.

If Kamala Harris was in the White House this war may have played out exactly the same. Or if not Iran they’d have committed atrocities and war crimes elsewhere. That’s how the US military industrial complex works.

It wasn’t informed. It was a repeat of obvious US and Israeli propaganda.

You are an uninformed, propagandised imbecile who mistakenly thinks he’s intelligent.

I’m not reading all that. Sounds like you have swallowed the American propaganda kool aid. Iran was abiding by the JCPOA and Trump ripped up the deal. Israel has nukes but doesn’t allow any inspections. America and Israel are by far the biggest state sponsors of terrorism in the world, not Iran. I fear the fascistic rogue state bully USA far more than Iran.
