To reply as the devils advocate to this comment, what is the tolerance to social costs that society is willing to bear? Also why would one segment of society have to do something that it doesn't want e.g. not bear risk if they want to?

It’s possible to get them off of r/personalfinance and r/fire. Meanwhile the high school accounting class that I was going to take was teaching how to day trade rather than actual accounting or personal finance. The advice to save

This is illogical, I don’t buy their argument. Just open up a bank account that doesn’t have fees and use that.

This is not the greatest advice. Something more akin to being a software developer or travel nurse and then FIRE would be a better message to preach… Then you get to retire at like 40 with a much higher probability of success.

Can probably set it to a random address in a no tax state e.g. OR/NH/DE. Paying sales tax online for digital goods sucks. This is for the accountants to say they are compliant.

Not sure if I’m on the spectrum or what but it’s horrible trying to read expressions in a masked conversation, as in I can’t. Masks were not great for mental health, but apparently that doesn’t matter as much as virtue signaling.

Why should the government be allowed to incentivize our behavior in the first place? I’d ask this from a philosophical standpoint here, not really a legal one as this could be applied to other non-US governments as well. If I want to sit at

Half the country thinks it is an existential threat. Half the country thinks it's a bad flu. About 612,000 people have died from it, that's more than WW2 which lead to the modern international political and economic systems. So

You can't opt out of the draft. If you work at FB/Google tell your manager the two magic words "I QUIT" and don't get the vaccine and go work somewhere that makes you happier. AFAIK these companies are still at-wil

My early 2000s car went up in value by 30% according to credit karma last year. This should not be happening. Something is Broken.

Frustrating that we can’t really do anything to dismantle the imperialist war machine killing innocents on the other side of the planet.

Wonder if the is verifiers will be using a gov backend for identity verification? It’s kinda easy to photoshop an ID + passport so these systems can be abused. Could also use a convolutional neural network to generate a new photo.

Tell that to the 73.6%[0] of Americans who are overweight or obese, but that the government doesn't care too much about it, in fact they subsidize it[1] via the farm bill & friends. Being overweight or obese will shorten your life

And 87% over 15 years fail to beat the s&p500. With a >10yr investment horizon 100% in VTSAX is the way to go IMO. Then just calculate your budget and start to sell into treasury bonds at the 10 year mark based on how much money is

The IRS is the symptom of our totally incompetent and dysfunctional government that we have. Good luck even getting in touch with them right now. IMO we should just abolish the IRS and replace income taxes with a 10-20% VAT tax and be done

The NCAA is much more predatory. Yes you get free college but sports can be the focus 100% of the time, then there is no focus on academics. So when you don't get drafted, there is a little problem... Onlyfans is stupid, hopefully noo
