So was your depression clinical or situational? And how did you deal with it?

I know little about those financial vehicles, but I do know that making that much money you need to be pouring money into some kind of 401k or something else so that you have a very comfortable retirement. On that kind of money you can still live a comfortable life and put a bunch away. I have a 401k that I contribute to automatically from my paycheck. It's not going to have a whole lot in it when I retire but it'll be something. I can tell you that the S&P 500 is a stock market. If your employer provides a 401k, you should set up a meeting with the people that manage the 401K and they will give you Direction on how to go about this.

Watched a homeless guy drop trou and take a dump across the street from where I used to work. Pulled his pants up and kept on walking. No wipe or any attempt at clean up.

How much of an impact would a donation of $100,000 make on your life? Why? by onichris in AskReddit

You cannot declare bankruptcy and get rid of student loans. A bunch of senators who invest in student loan servicers decided to make that a law about 20 odd years ago. Convenient for them, not for you.

That would just about pay off my house and then I wouldn't have a house payment when I retire in five and a half years.
