Just to clarify on #2, it doesn't even have to really be in your employer's control. One of the biggest sales targets of mortgage-backed securities prior to 2008 were pension plans, they were AAA-rated securities.

This is almost too ridiculously misinformed a statement to even justify replying to, but since it's easy enough, the SS trust funds earn interest through investment as necessitated by law. They've also been used as an intergovern

There's a certain amount of insane luck involved in any startup succeeding; you have factors like financing, broader industry investment trends, initial financing that involve just blind luck that is out of your control. To say nothing

Now I'm kinda curious how many other sites pull this type of stunt. I'm definitely torn on how I feel about this, I find it even more weird that there's people listed as following me on a site that I just have a shadow accou

It's more insidious than that, since cash tips are self-reported income, it's also a great way to shield income from the IRS and reduce taxable income

Most of those posts have a good deal of theming setup. Usually people include just the background alone because people invariably want the source to use on their own setups :P

Sorry to lump you in, caveat that statement in whatever way makes you feel comfortable. Hopefully we can agree that at least as far as level of discussion goes, much more is made of college costs than of childhood education costs. I found

The scope of someone going to college for say 40 years (from 20-60, for sake of argument) is a lot different than saying 4 years of education should maybe be an institutionalized cost. If you figure: 1. At 12K/year, base education run

Telling someone that their humanities education was all a hobby is a much greater insult than calling someone out, so I'll let the universe sort out who was the true meanie-head here lmao.
