   Also, if you want to avoid paying PMI you can get a second mortgage to cover most of the down payment. With current low rates even if the APR for a second mortgage is 1% higher, one can save a lot by paying this high rate on a much smaller

   I used to work for a company from Colorado. Internally they were sharing Salary range and Target Bonus for your position for as long as I remember (~10 years?). You will get this information in Workday or on paper once a year. From what I c

   Remember when oil futures went negative? I wonder what kind of clickbait they can use: "US oil prices have surged more than <infinity>% from a record low in April 2020 due to the pandemic".

   I don't work or use Bumble, but a quick search says they have 3 weeks of vacation and 12 holidays. Which is at or above average for US. My company gives 3 weeks to new hires plus another week around Christmas. They gave us an extra Cov

    > Putting $1 dollar in the market to get $1.04 back out 30 years later is not a positive investement. This is not how annual returns work. If you put a $1 an average return was 4%, you will get $3.25. And if you put it in a tax deferred

    I am not sure they are comparable. The movie is a documentary and the TV Show is an alternative history exploration of the space race.

    But we are talking about Robinhood here. I doubt they trade $350B worth of crypto.

    RBLX just did a direct listing. They set a reference price at $45. Later in the day (they did not start trading until midday) the reference price was adjusted to $60. I had two limit orders. One from day before at $50, another placed at noo

    But bigger brokers (in fact, much more than just brokers) like Merrill ($18B) or Schwab($10B) do not report their transaction volume as revenue.

    Also, it is "Romanian" not "Soviet". While Romania was a part of the Warsaw pact they were more open to western countries than the rest of the soviet block.

    TurboTax was sold to Intuit in 1993. Not sure why do you think it would get worse under Intuit, considering you liked it in 2009.

    Aldi owns Trader Joe's, but I wouldn't call them same chain. For instance, Kroger owns multiple chains with the store format, branding and products that differ a lot. From my experience the US Aldi (which is part of an Aldi Sud) i

    Are you saying that Rubinhood shut down trading to prevent "stock gap" and avoid potential losses? Isn't it also illegal stock price manipulation?

    Isn't it about trade-offs? As long as my carrier provides my family with free iPhones, I will bear the inconvenience of requesting device unlock every few years. It takes 2 minutes to unlock it. If I am to pay full price for the device

    I think you have misunderstood me. The fact that someone worked their whole life while living in Finland is accounted for. I.e. the link you've shared includes average amount of accrued pension for each birth year. So if someone was bo

    Looking at the Finland pensions [1], I'd think you would like to save extra for retirement. Max government pension is less than SSA benefit in the USA (€1,368 vs $3,113) [1] https://www.etk.fi/en/finnish-pension-sy

    Headcount is at 56K. $4.7B / 56,000 ~= $84K/quarter. Or $336K per year. I guess they spend it on compensation.
