I'm also not Asian. In late 30s and it guessed that I'm 7...

Fair point, but D3 can also be derived from lichen, which is vegan. https://www.vegansociety.com/resources/nutrition-and-health/...

https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Managing_a_windfall Use this money to max out all tax advantaged accounts available to you (401k, IRA, HSA), and invest the rest in a brokerage acco…

One would think the price would increase until someone would pick you up. Uber should add the ability to bid up your route--like when it's taking a long time to match you to a driv…

Exactly. I commonly enroll in Coursera classes just to get access to the video lectures for later perusal for information relevant to my work and interests.

While not an interest bearing account, investing in an index fund of global stocks should outpace housing. Investing in a REIT should roughly keep pace with housing costs.

Montreal and Quebec City seem reasonable, but this is based purely on a few web searches. I hope you end up in a place where you can start building some financial security. Also, r…

Perhaps grandkids should ask to move in with grandma? She might like the company. :) In seriousness, not all metro areas have seen the same huge rise in rents and property values. …

If things get seriously unaffordable as a renter, it's always possible to move somewhere more affordable. Housing, on average, rises at the rate of inflation (it's closely linked t…

Right. This reminds me of the series of video chat developments in Infinite Jest (description here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/5/18518355/infinite-jest-vid... ). Masks have st…

At some point, it's a better financial move to rent instead of own. That is true in many American cities (much of NYC, for example). Housing bubbles happen. Try not to buy into one…

Costco.

I'm a bit surprised that negative nominal interest rates are a thing. If you print enough money, inflation starts to rise. Why not print money such that you can still provide a pos…

Having been to Germany a few times, I've not noticed anything like only government buildings being in good repair. Can you identify a few cities that are like this?

They could require the vendors attach the stickers to uniquely determine the shipment. Upon receipt, just scan to ensure the barcodes match/aren't duplicates. They already require …

This is just an argument for diversification. Hold the world at market cap and you'll only lose money if the whole world's markets crash and stay down for decades. And if that happ…

Because teaching 1st grade will get you surrounded by good looking dudes? I feel like finance has a reputation for having good looking guys. It also has a reputation for being most…

I don't know. My biggest frustration in season one was "why the hell doesn't Walt have life insurance if his family depends so much on his income?!" I bet Joe Six-pack working midd…

What have you been learning about? Do you dabble in various things or are you continually learning more about something in particular? I'm a dabbler by nature, and while it feels r…

Brokers are often limited in which countries they'll accept clients from, but that's to avoid all the overhead of filling the appropriate tax forms to each government (and maintain…

Not everything related to quality can be easily identified by the end consumer. I trust major food manufacturers to have products without high levels of arsenic, lead, and mercury.…

Not OP, but threading. So many collaboration tools I've worked with are indistinguishable from the comment section of a blog or newspaper. The vast majority of the comments are use…

Then it's also probably not going to work out anyway.

Also a woman in tech. A while back I checked my profile. It thought I we was a man.

A month in Australia for 3-4k? I want a cost breakdown for this. Say you get a deal and airfare is $500, that leaves about $100/day for the month. You could probably find a hotel a…
