too late, but you’re right. Everyone will say that Sanders is Gandalf (he’s not)

Well, it will sound a little pedantic, but really fewer people dislike Jeb Bush than they dislike Trump. Sanders is literally the only candidate who had a net favorable rating on either side.

So, what’s weird about this calculation is that it ignores the fact that if you’re saving for retirement, your spending can’t be your entire current income (because you’re inherently saving).

That’s a picture of him telling the story of the time he killed a guy in ‘Nam!

So wonderful!

While I agree with your premise, head-to-head polls before the primaries aren’t really worth citing. It’s hard to believe but a lot of people who will vote no nothing about most of the candidates at this point.

Neither of the primary candidates are claiming that the poll carries weight. It was just part of an article about the candidates. It can pretty much be ignored without comment. If it were being cited by a candidate, we could ignore it with comment to how useless it is.

The poll does indicate that and it matters about as much as the predictions of a psychic clam. Clinton and Sanders will both use any tool that makes them appear to be the more electable, so we need to be critical of the tools they use.

Right, but that poll was the NYT’s argument, not Hillary’s.

Well, you’re looking at a national poll, taken before the primaries, so it really says nothing.

So you’re saying that they were for his brother...

I guess that regarding experience, I would agree that it’s difficult, but say that professional growth outside of work is not.

I think factor in the match, but ROI is separate. Experience and personal growth are easily achieved outside of work. With you on lunches. However, when you meet people with hour or longer commutes, their hourly rate is a ridiculous conceit.

But your hourly work rate isn’t the same as the value of your time per hour. If you make $30/hour working, you have to calculate in commute (time and cost), any work specific grooming, cost of any special attire or equipment, increased cost of meals associated with work. Your hourly rate drops precipitously.

I think that this is directed at people who received Christmas bonuses or received money as a gift. It makes timely advice.

Batman has been known to have a pretty nice ‘mobile’

I might be misreading this, but it looks like she’s been named most admired woman in America 14 years in a row. Still, it’s just lucky that everyone didn’t answer “my mother”. (Although it would qualify to run for president as a Republican)

I’ve found that spending a little effort on periodic optimization and re-evaluation has made the waiting easier and shortened my (projected) timeline to financial independence.

I follow this, although it still sounds like a form of timing (admittedly with a small portion of your investments).

The fact that you’re aware that it’s not a good way to handle money says a lot (of good things) about you.
