it's hard to give a non-political answer because it's really about money and who gets it. on average, men make more money than women. a lot of people (especially women) consider this to be unfair. software engineer is one of the h

if ATM fees are important to you, you could always consider opening an account with schwab. they reimburse 100% of ATM fees. as for ISPs, it's hard to do worse than comcast, but at least they don't block a wide range of content by

there's a reason why most finance advice lists "3-6 months expenses in cash" as priority one. being forced to sell assets during a market downturn hurts you a lot more than parking a couple extra thousand in an index fund hel

that equation shows velocity is more important though? a small car at 10 mph has about the same KE as a 200 lb person going 40 mph. of course KE doesn't tell the whole story. of the two, I'd much rather be hit by the car. I could
