If you've been selling everything at every vest event, then wash sale rules don't apply - essentially the IRS doesn't want you to claim a loss when you haven't effectively closed a position, and if you don't hold an

About 160 million people either actively voted for this or couldn't be bothered to vote so ostensibly think this is ok. This is what the vast majority wants.

The article mentions mutual interest could be a subtype of fun, but they wanted to make a distinction between when getting together is the goal and when there's another objective beyond that. For example with drinking, they seem to thi

They probably won't share how they did it, but there's been a lot of research over the past 6 months showing how you don't have to retrain the entire model to add in new sources. I know nothing about this stuff, but my limite

The fear with trying for temporary deflation is it will become an out of control feedback loop, because there aren't as many "reasonable" monetary tools to combat it as there are with inflation.

It's more the bigger investments that drive a lot of the economy that are the concern - think real estate and stocks. Why buy a $1 million home today if you'll be able to buy it from $980k next year, and maybe $965k the year after

My understanding of the comment is the way the parents would get the money is to liquidate something which would incur taxes, which will be a lot in taxes on $200k even with long term capital gains treatment.

Usually if you somehow end up in this kind of sales funnel, you get offered a ridiculously cheap first year subscription. Say $20 for first year, but then it's $12 a month after that. You call to cancel, and they'll keep dropping

Correct, but the "more than 60%" is including all forms of rent control. My main point is someone can be paying $3500 a month for a one bedroom apartment and it be considered a rent controlled unit. Edit - put another way, there&#

A key thing to note is that rent control in SF isn't quite what most people think of. The apartment itself is not locked to a specific price (which is how NYC rent control works, for example) but rather the lease between the landlord a

Think of an example such as you'd like a better public school system in your district. If you live in a rural county in Oklahoma of 20k people, you could likely get on the school board without any opposition and start making changes. V

The point is that decisions you made in your 20's will unfortunately lock you out of potential options 30 years later (without making major sacrifices). So they're saying the best move for someone in their 20's is the move th
