to remind her how fucked up people were back then

You can thank Churchill for all that.

I have the bulk of mine stuck into an S&P 500 index fund and it’s doing just fine.

You just made an argument for 5% return assumptions while quoting a return of over 13% for the year.

At least when you read anything from companies trying to sell investments. I also think you a leaving out the rest of the conversation about how much you can really save at a young age and the non-financial costs of doing so. It is a more complex conversation than you are admitting to. This isn’t a “is it better to…

assuming say 5-10% yearly growth

That’s pretty cool. Just got turned on to Turo last week as a matter of fact. I am a bit of a late comer, but the idea sounds like something I might try.

Telling people not to save for retirement in their 20s is terrible advice.

Give it a year, and let’s talk. Every year for the last 4 years the crypto market has been very low in Jan/Feb, and then by the end of April it goes way up.

Fit. You’re talking about a chassis that was designed for a 289. Check out what they had to do to get the 390 and 427 into those things. Was a really tight fit with some pretty bent up exhaust headers and other contortions. Why do all that when you can get as much power out of a ecoboost?

Pffft to your Pffft. I am about to get in my 96 F150 to pick up a load of decomposed granite for a patio I am putting in this weekend.

I don’t think that is smug, but the problem is that “living within your means” means a lot less today than it did to the generation before. But, yeah, I think you can make your claim without sounding preachy.

I would say something some may find counter intuitive, but I would recommend not over saving for retirement.…

It is hard not to take a long loan out at 1.5%. That is like practicaly free money. I would keep it as long as they would let me.

96 month loan? Wow. It felt like a guilty pleasure when I took out a 60 month loan. I really felt like I was living on the edge. I have no problem paying a note out over the useful life of the car, but I truly would like to know why people give in to trading in upsidedown cars. Is it just a matter of ego and prestige?…

If wage equality is mandated without regard to performance, that, indeed, is communism

I think there may be some valid complaints on what the article claims does not make her indigenous to Arizona. I mean, we are all indigenous to somewhere. Also, when you Google ”Izkaloteka” you cannot see works discusing a people of Central America. If someone has something, please share.

I say let her stand on her…

Well, she is either indgenous Central American or Spanish. Either way, she is NOT indigenous to Arizona or North American. In fact, there are a ton of people in North America who have some degree of indigenous blood in their viens. I call this clickbait.

You might want to go back and re-read that part of the piece.

Just curious, what is your small business?

I have a 1969 L36 convertible. When they say they don’t make ‘em like they used to, they speak the truth. The made them like sh_t back then. If it’s not one thing it’s another. Dwell meters, timing lights, compression guages, oil pressure guages, points, carbuerator float levels, jet sizes, accelerator pump CC’s,…
