Also officially signed into law by then California Governor Ronald Reagan.

These same kids can come to the United States and get paid decently with a currency that is 25% more valuable and generally lower taxes (also look at Chicago vs Toronto condo prices...), that is how a government creates a brain drain of young professionals.

Exactly, assuming that we are operating in a non-lawful space would that not enable the most “pure” result of free market capitalism?

$1000/mo per child plus needing to spend at least half a million in the desirable parts of the USA for a house are the real reasons.

Got shipped because IMO this is just a bit too much money to spend.

Just come make a donation to a hospital foundation in the USA they will also vaccinate you, and provide Modena or Pfizer instead of Sputnik.

Best strategy with a >10yr timeline is 100% S&P 500 in a free or low cost index fund combined with minimizing taxable income and backdoor ira if applicable.

Then Just about anyone can retire with >=1.5MM and be doing ok. Of course double this number if you are in VHCOL but otherwise it’ll work just about anywhere.

Hah just tape a clipboard to the back of your laptop and suddenly all notes are available. Expecting this software to actually prevent unauthorized use of notes/references is foolish.

It’s just distributed weirdly and almost designed to be difficult to navigate.

If you’re poor and in a blue state you get free healthcare comparable to the rest of the developed world. But go over the 30k/year threshold and you’re getting a high-deductible plan and a random number generator for a hospital billing department. Then once you get a job at FAANG and you get great healthcare.

It did not fail at providing money to the military-industrial-congressional complex. But of course we need more fighter jets instead of Medicare for all and UBI.

China is not going to send fighters over to Bomb the us mainland, this thing is totally unnecessary.

I started investing and saving for retirement in mid 2015, and the most I’ve made was just over 60k/yr.

Got about 50% total return since then (121k purchase & 61k return 183ish total). Mostly in VTSAX but the thing is, in late March 2020 I was negative returns, the market really does fluctuate and it is important to not act irrationally. Now it’s 50ish percent return since then.

Now the long game here is that based on my age I only had to put money into retirement for like 5-6years (employer match 401k + Roth contributions) now this will just be left until retirement in 30-40 years assuming the current approximate interest rate of 7-8%year inflation adjusted.

So yeah, just buy as much VTSAX and let it sit for decades. If that doesn’t work the economy of the United States is broken and you have bigger problems to worry about.
