I look at Vanguard's Target Retirement Date funds as the predecessors to these automated/partially-automated advising services. I'm not convinced the robo-advising can do any better than one of these funds since the fees for

I'll always be a bit bitter toward the Echo project. I had a really great manager transfer to that project when I worked at Amazon. It's part of the reason I left. Glad to see them do well though.

I've adopted a similar mindset. My rent is about the same and it lets me save like 60% of my salary less taxes. I grew up in coastal California so owning a nice home has never been on my radar. I'm hoping to retire around age 40-4

I signed the lease in the past two years. So rent control has kicked in once. I have a room in a shared apartment. There are plenty of open rooms on Craigslist for similar rents. I'm not saying life will be great but it's entirely

All I can say is YNAB worked well for me. Though it may only work for a certain type of person. It's one of those things where you really need to take them up on the free trial to see if it works for you. The way I see Mint vs YNAB is:

> I do find it a bit ridiculous that during a period when you could finance a house at 3%, a car at 2%, and could only get 0.5% or 1% on a savings account that the government was collected 6.5% of student loans. You can't repossess

That's some serious paranoia. In a situation like that what asset would be safe besides guns, ammo, and canned goods?
