Just because it’s publicly traded doesn’t change anything. There might be no buyers. There might be no buyers willing to buy at the last sold price. There might be no sellers willing to sell at the last sold price. Market cap would be $10,0

if there are 100 shares in a company, but 2 people own them. person1 has 99 shares. person2 has 1 share. person1 sells their share for $100 to person3. Does that mean the market cap is worth $10k? yes. is that meaningful if there are no oth

There are many roles that haven’t been automated yet, including elder care. I’m skeptical that nurses could be enhanced by automation to the degree of them managing more patients, but with the same quality of care as they do now.

I actually came to the opposite conclusion: you really care about who you hired, because you define who they work with. If you hire a low performer or someone that isn't a good culture fit, the productivity of your other team members w

No, those are considered. That $2,500/mo is at the bottom of your career. You will be saving more as you age, even accounting for employment gaps. If we are considering kids, presumably there is another partner (and income) to be added

If you save $2.5k/mo for 15 years, after 14 years (mid-30s), you’d have $800k at 8% interest. Even in Seattle, $800k would get you a decent starter home. (I chose $2.5k, bc 15 years ago out of college, that’s how much I saved living in
