It’s actually 250 days. But option 1) start your own business and you can take whatever time off you want, or option 2) become a homesteader and you get no time off at all. We’re pretending like we have it so tough nowadays, but to survive a few hundred years ago the average person had to scrap it out every single day.

28 days of annual leave. Out of 365. Your employer owns 337 days of your year. You get 28. And half of those you spend recovering from the other 337. How is this the "good deal" everyone told you to be grateful for?

@PakayaBaba @MarcosMillaYT When you have more than a million dollars you learn just how true that statement is. Pleasure in life is priceless.

@wmaxwellfryer @MarcosMillaYT Bro thinks his pleasure is worth more than a million dollars. Either bro’s very wealthy or very dumb.

Would you still buy a $75,000 BMW if you realized that no one cares what you drive? What if you bought a $20,000 Honda instead and invested the rest into $VOO Over 30 years, that costed you $1 million…. I hope you like your fancy car.

@SenWarren You can already do that. Why don’t you simplify the code instead so a third party doesn’t have to try and dumb it down for people to get the fairest return.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.

@GuyTalksFinance @genzmoney97 Most generational wealth is, in fact, created through heavily concentrated positions. That’s a hard truth to escape.

@genzmoney97 Absolutely Invest into an S&P 500 index fund or something similar with your 401k For most people I’d avoid buying single stocks.. not sure how that’s a hot take

Before you buy any single stock — make sure to have at least $50,000 invested in the S&P 500 first.

@NotA_Bull If you don’t have adequate reserves it can be dangerous.

Buying a house to live, in your 20s is a liability, not an investment. No?

@theficouple Well comparing an index fund to one real estate investment property is dumb first of all - they’re not equivalencies. Compare it to an individual stock instead and there are plenty examples of names that obliterate that return.

People will say real estate is a scam or "not worth it". We paid $485k for a 5-unit deal and put 8% down with seller financing. All in we invested ~$45,000 and the cash flow is $1,100/mo. Thats ~30% cash on cash return + appreciation. ...Show me an index fund that does that.

@theficouple You can’t be serious.. How long would it take it get back to $132k in investable asset even without a mortgage?

Let’s say you had $132,000 in the bank. But you also have a $132,000 mortgage at 4.8%. Would you invest the money in the stock market or pay off the house?

@TheDemocrats First - withhold salaries from public officials when we operate without a balanced budget

TAX THE RICH

@RationalWins Provide your reasoning please (also not certain why you think offering pre-K is revolutionary- where I live it’s part of the county school system and has been for a while).

Look I’m not saying you need to love Newsom, but if you wouldn’t vote for him over JD Vance you’re actually fucking stupid

Defensive much? The Norse were demonstrably the first. It was short lived but “once or twice” is dismissive of the facts. They weren’t undeveloped (actually built the framework for much of European civilization - the Norman Duchy for one), advanced ship building (the term starboard and the keel), ironwork, and modern hygiene (many had blonde hair from consistent use of lye heavy soap, they bathed frequently). I understand you’re overly protective of your history, but your frustration probably lies with the fact that Spain hasn’t done anything noteworthy in a century or two.

@wmaxwellfryer @WarMonitor3 And who was? Because nobody claimed before Spain and nobody dominated it like Spain. If you are going to tell stupid stories about undeveloped Vikings reaching once or twice the shores of north Canada from Greenland, you can save those words

What country has contributed most to humanity?

@Ravious101 Wrong kind of oil

Can someone please explain to me how we have all this extra oil to sell to other countries, but gas is over $4/gallon here as if there’s some sort of shortage.

@jlvillar27 @WarMonitor3 You weren’t even the actual firsts to reach the new world in the end so I’m not sure how you come to that conclusion.

@WarMonitor3 For all the answers saying USA, please remember your country and your continent only exists because of this country 🇪🇦. Too much anglos in this post ignoring that until this country 🇪🇦 decided to extent its reach the world finished in Ireland

@UziCryptoo Real estate is an accidental investment - it’s a physically depreciating asset that may appreciate in value

My boomer mom’s house appreciated $600,000 in 22 years. She didn’t invest. She didn’t grind. She didn’t “build multiple income streams.” She just bought a house in 1998 and waited. Last week she sent me a Dave Ramsey video about cutting subscriptions. I cancelled Netflix. My rent went up $300 the same week.

@xevekiah I think the problem is the “my fiance recently found out” part…

I’m engaged, and my fiancé recently found out I own a small apartment that my parents helped me buy years ago. It’s in my name, fully paid off. I’ve always seen it as my safety net. Now he’s asking me to sell it after we get married so we can “invest together” and put everything into a house under both our names. He says keeping it means I’m planning for a future without him. But I don’t see it that way. I see it as something I built before him, something that protects me no matter what happens. And now I feel guilty for wanting to keep it.

@Simon_Ingari “I hereby resign….. effective immediately” is the way to go. Stop this “notice” nonsense.

HR: What is your notice period? Candidate: 60 days. HR: Is it negotiable? Candidate: No. HR: Sorry, we’re looking for someone who can join within 30 days. Candidate: May I ask a question? HR: Sure. Candidate: What’s the notice period in your company? HR : ↓↓↓

@WarMonitor3 To do those things you need to expand into deficits or nix a significant amount of spend on your key programs like healthcare, etc… I’m not certain is entirely feasible at this point for Europe to do without conceding huge in areas they love to tout as progressive

Europe above all needs to rearm, control its immigration and invest heavily in nuclear energy. We will flourish if these three things are met.

@unusual_whales How will they deliver though

Iran: Iran ready to sell its oil to any country.

@theepicmap Swampy, shallow, hurricane risk

Why is this huge stretch of the US East Coast so empty?

@WarMonitor3 They don’t even have any operational vessels that would really aid the situation

Britain says it will not aid the US in blockading the strait of Hormuz-Sky News
