I'm here now
I'll be home in about 20 minutes.
You mean the tutorial for the wing cap? LMAO
Yea
I've been without power for the past 5 days but fuck it. Give me 15 minutes to do something real quick.
"I can invest better than market experts or the government, who has been trusted to manage this meager retirement fund for almost a century, so better let me do it all on my own, because I am so smart, s-m-r-t," is day trader, get rich quick mentality.
There's a reason we don't privatize retirement and this is... pretty much it.
Not literal day trading. Just their mentality that they can beat the market because they are somehow so much smarter than it. Or investment firms. Or the government.
Don't lie to yourself (and us). You would have made such shitty market decisions, you would have lost your shirt in '08 alone.
Day trader mythology.
Yes. This. You got to it first.
I can play right now
I can play in a few minutes
Yeah. And to be clear, I want to laugh about missing the eclipse, not necessarily the reason why. It's all been a very weird experience.
He had some kind of mental episode and had to be physically removed from the event. I don't know if it was because of the eclipse, the crowd, or something else but there was a lot of chaos.
I wrote all that out and it seemed insensitive
I'm trying to navigate my mom's retirement. She retired before 65, with like nothing apart from SS. There are some reasons I can understand how that came to be, but on a relative scale to people still working regardless at older age (some grinding awful jobs perhaps), there is a bit of a distaste while now she's kinda become a financial dependent.
