I'm the same way. I just send myself emails when I need to save or keep track of something. I throw in some keywords that I'll know I'll search for in the future if/when I need to reference back. This works 95%+ of the t

There’s not really much money to be made front running someone’s deposit into an index fund that’s gonna sit there for the next 40 years. It works on RH because generally those users are transacting much more frequently and in much less liq

This is not much different from how many insured people approach their healthcare. My friends who live paycheck to paycheck do not seek medical attention unless it is some extreme life or death situation. Even though they are insured, they

It is functionally the same for the recipient of the medical care who wouldn’t be able to afford it out of pocket. You get the medical care, and you don’t pay for it. Then declare bankruptcy if you have to.

I agree. I'm just saying that instead of reducing healthcare costs by having insurance companies deny necessary procedures and medications seemingly randomly, there should be serious regulations capping healthcare costs. Generally spea

I don't understand why the insurance company is the one to decide when and how to cap the costs. If a doctor says I need X drug or Y procedure the insurance company shouldn't be allowed to just deny paying for it simply because th
