If you have a car wreck, your insurance usually punishes you only if it is your fault (which makes sense). Your sickness, most of the time, isn't your fault.

I actually make quite a lot of money compared to the average US income, more than $100K/year. I do save an invest (max out IRA for me and my wife), and I do spend a lot, though I'm frugal compared to most of my friends. $100K in savings is

Because most people get denied. $85 is only for healthy and relatively young, no pre-existing conditions.

I think that's just impossible. On 40K you will pay $580 medicare $1,680 FICA $3,410 federal $1,824 state (NY), and maybe some local, depending on where you live. If you can invest $30K after that, you're some motherfucking frugal genius.

If they are really profitable (and make sure to check that), I'd take as much equity as I could, but I'd definitely ask what % of all equity these stocks represent. It could be like "here, we're giving you 10,000 SHARES!!!", only to later f

It's not that hard to accumulate $100K if you're in IT. Just working for $100-150K a year and investing $20-30K annually should do it very quickly. Now accumulating $1M in a span of 5-10 years is much more challenging. I'm yet to solve that

Then you have to calculate the amortization costs for the next RV (when this one dies), RV insurance, gas (which RVs needs a lot of), maintenance, sewage pumping costs, water costs. I wouldn't call living in an RV a retirement most people e

Sorry, but this story is garbage. Rent/mortgage, retirement completely ignored. Plus he has the shittiest $82 health insurance plan he could find, and he doesn't calculate the costs of what will happen if he gets sick. On average people aft

Living in an RV is like living in a tiny tiny shitty studio, plus you have to pump your own shit and piss regularly. Yeah, I can live in a tent and hunt for food. Zero dollars per year. Sorry, but fuck that. None of these stories are inspir

I had to switch to FF 7 (clean install, no addons) for one full day yesterday, and it feels so much slower than Chrome. I used to be a huge FF advocate, until Chrome arrived. At first I stayed on FF and tried Chrome a couple of times. It la

Nobody will give you any particular answers. Start with a high % and negotiate down. I doubt you will get 25%. If they offer you X number of shares, but don't tell you what % of the total number of shares they represent, don't take it, it's

Have you ever traveled to work? Even one hour each way irritated me. It's a huge waste of time. Don't do it unless you get compensated for the time and the transportation, there's no point. Easy to calculate too. Let's say your monthly subw

Seems expensive. 2TB drives are now around $70 (Maybe even cheaper if you buy in bulk). 135TB = 68 drives. 68 * $70 = $4,760 Is that rack so expensive?

We didn't have it covered in our CS program. We were taught the concept (keeping track of pointers to allocated memory, etc), but not the implementation part. Garbage collectors are pretty damn complex.

I liked the non-HDR parts of that video much more. I hate that HDR look in photos. The effect looks interesting in the video, it makes it look like a computer rendering. Still gimmicky though.
