It's pretty interesting to contrast OP's experience with this recent /r/bestof that describes in detail why things might be the way you're describing: https://www.reddit.com/r/best…

I'm cautiously curious about how you'd interpret this data: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/upshot/pandemic-economy-g... It seems pretty straightforward to me that a massive pan…

I believe 1500/1600 is top 2%, so it's weird you'd consider that not "well" to me.

This is a very cool app, but one thing I'm noticing is that you aren't providing any numbers about expectations (expected earnings/share, etc). Stock prices are forward projections…

So you're argument against renting is: "why rent when you can have your parents buy it for you?" It sounds to me a lot like the "let them eat cake" mentality.

it's difficult to read while walking your dog, or making dinner, or doing the dishes, etc. That's the value add of an audio-only format for me.

I thought she put it well enough to understand, but here's another stab at it: Fifty years ago, if the husband gets a job offer in a town of 10,000 people with one main employer, h…

One feedback: It'd be nice to see the data through time. As it is, it looks like you can only view July. (I'm assuming you are keeping the data for past months)

Nobody says they don't take these things seriously, but an glance at the data will show you that many don't actually take them seriously.

At some point, the work becomes the hobby. If you had fyou money, what would you do? Presumably not sit and stare at a wall all day. You'd do something you enjoy I assume. And for …

It's about knowing that studying is even an option or that it's something that should be done. In certain circles, you'd be considered very odd for not studying, whereas in others,…

This is the same concern I had, though it's important to point out that if you had money in Betterment/Wealthfront and they went under, it would just be an inconvenience as you'd r…

I don't think your last statement is true at all. Just look at what their share price did as a result of pokemon go and mario run. Nintendo is worth 50% more than it was just under…

Well the saying is typically '9 to 5' which is 8 hours total. Everything varies of course, but I think that's the most common.

I would guess that the author read the study from which the report is based, and noted the section defining 'Child Income' : "Our primary measure of child income is total pre-tax i…

I would also like an answer to this. Most people that are opponents of these sorts of policies live in areas that are represented by senators/congresspeople that have a similar vie…

For myself, these sorts of libertarian arguments seem very similar to the concepts presented in Econ 101. They are very logical, consistent, and compelling. They also rely on a ton…

Gates, slim, Ellison, the Kochs, and the Waltons were all in the top eight from a quick search I did. None of those gained the majority of their wealth through investing.

Trump won by 2% in that category. Lots of info here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/08/us/politics/el...

I'm very confused by this conversation. What taxes are you guys talking about? They don't exist as far as I'm aware. I am aware of some subsidies, but not taxes on specifically car…

Where are these carbon taxes? The only one I was aware of was in Australia, but that got repealed.

don't attempt sarcasm on this site. people take things literally.

The article does read a lot like the "Psychopath's Guide To Career-Hunting". Honestly, the tone reminded me a lot of some of my undergrad peers who were pursuing investment banking…
