> She's not worth the $3k to you? This is one of the most manipulative arguments I've heard from people. I can't put a price on what my wife or son are worth to me, yet, I'd not buy something just at any price because

Fair enough, I may very well be reading too much into it, but, just to explain myself: A comment strongly advising to do personal changes in someone's life, and lifestyle in particular, based on barely any information on that person&

I am not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with my comment. It does seem like we're saying kind of the same thing. May be you meant to post a parent comment? :)

What's with the judgement? A lot of people work in IT in places where the pay is good but not that good that many situations can lead to little or no savings. Having many dependants doesn't help either (kids, sick family members,

May be is just me, but I can't possibly enjoy a vacation knowing I need to get back to look for a job. I much rather negotiate with my employer taking 3 to 6 months off without pay to go travel, or 3 to 6 months part time. Not an optio

I used to dismiss and mock self-help advice and books. Certainly there's lots of crap out there, but someone I care about has actually been helped by a few. Not all are created equal, not all are authored by people that wants to cheat

Although I agree remote work is nothing new, what is new is the increasing amount of people that can do it, and that's a good thing. It is true that in SV (and elsewhere) lots of companies do not allow remote, and that's what I th

> Those kids ARE probably at higher risk in my opinion My problem with those kind of statements is that you don't quantify the risk. Sure, "probably" at a "higher" risk. How much higher and does it really matter

I am not sure how you jumped to the conclusion that I implied we should feel ashamed. It's about being grateful for how lucky we are we inherited something, not ashamed. You also completely disregarded the biological factors I mentione

The part where he says the wealthy earned it. Did they earn it? this is the part where I often disagree with people. We all love to think we've earned what we've got. Just crying out loud 'we worked hard! we earned it!'
