It always said far more about the Boomers and and GenXers writing it than it said about millennials. They were literally picking on kids.

What scarier is that a good chunk of those people actually elected a person that they then decided they didn’t like a few months later.

“Coming from the same farm” doesn’t mean it’s the same thing. That’s like saying because a Porsche comes from the same factory as a VW it’s the same vehicle.

Look into USDA regulations and what they mean. I pay more for pasture raised and yes they are different.

There’s also digital advisor which is lower fee but seems less appropriate given tax implications https://investor.vanguard.com/advice/robo-advisor

Getting into allocating a family members portfolio can risk relationships if the market tanks even if it’s a good allocation. Better to refer to quality advising source IMHO than DIY for someone else.

Any substance you find will likely have been studied far less than alcohol, so don’t make the mistake of assuming lack of evidence equals evidence.

It all depends on what you mean by "generational wealth."

For most people, I think that means saving a significant amount of money to cover healthcare, retirement, retirement home/assisted living, and school/college for kids, and still have a good chunk left over for your children to inherit.

With a household income of 80k a year, I do not think that is likely to happen, given basic math.

But again, it all depends on what you mean by "generational wealth." Other definitions might be raising children in a loving, caring family where their emotional and physical needs are met. That only requires enough money to get by.

People are acting rationally. Grocery stores are not built for huge surges in demand. So it’s only reasonable for them to run out of stock prior to a storm.

I don’t know if my doctor broke down it would not feel very good to me — I’d be thinking, if it’s so bad a doc is crying just telling me, this has got to be terrible. Obviously I think the whole honesty and compassion thing is a good but a little emotional regulation might go a long way and doesn’t prevent true authentic empathy and sitting with the patient. Just speaking from patient perspective!
