@LarsIvarXIV@JerkstonH@JimChuong Yeah, but if it's in the bank, you have access to it. It's easy to imagine being disciplined with your money at 20 when you don't have a million dropping on your lap.
@JerkinLeeroy@JerkstonH@JimChuong Well, is better to be financially secure for the rest of your life, than be a millionare for a day, and moderately wealthy for a few months or years. And at $4000 a month you are nowhere close to poor, especially when it's passive income. It's a nice supplement to your job.
@COVEN_COM@JerkstonH@JimChuong Lol, 20 years is a long time, my dude. It's basically youth without the stress of rent or losing your job. And it would still be $2000 a month for free. Plus, you could literally retreat at 40 to a lower-income nation if the cost of living gets too high.
@stunlokked@JimChuong One bad bet and all goes POOF. Investment is a casino, not a life plan. $4000 will not depreciate all that fast. And it will give you a lot of years to get your life together without stress. It can also be passive income to a job. Is basically like a lifelong pension.
@JimChuong Yeah, it's very smart of her. She will have $4000 per month for the rest of her life. She could basically retire. And even not doing that, she will never worry about losing her job or rent. 1 million is not much, and it's easy to lose discipline and spend it, esp. at 20yo.
@mcaliente21 Trying to have a relationship with Trump is useless. That old fart doesn't have conscious thoughts. He has brain spasms. The direction of his relationships or politics is based on whatever spasm he has that night. He makes a deal, he breaks it the next day. It's pointless.
@SHIRO_116 It's because it ends abruptly before establishing its actual theme. Ending it where they ended it, was a really weird choice... A really dumb one too. That next episode was crucial to establish it, instead of delaying it for God knows how long.
@OkaiboUry@jurgen_nauditt Because they are burned to a crisp. Who puts fuel în a decoy? Why? And why put a decoy 5000 km from the border with NATO? And în what universe would Ukraine spend 18 gathering inteligente and planning, just to hit decoys?
@ChristianHeiens Nationalism isn't loving your country, that's patriotism. Nationalism is radicalism, it's patriotism at the expense of everyone else. To play on your example "my parents are the best, and everyone else's parents should die or suffer, because only mine matter."
@dudemetoo__ @FiatFood Socialization is the first skills you learn when you enter the system. And you learned how to invest, you obviously did Economy in school. You just sleept during classes, and learned nothing. Is not school that is a waste of time, you just waste yours,by not playing atention.
@TravisC77777777@bazemore@FiatFood Yeah, good thing we don't live in the Middle Ages anymore. Before mastering metal, peoples needed to know how to break rock to make tools. Before writing, peoples had to memorie knowlege and pass it on. Thats how it works, the world changes, and some skills become obsolete
@TravisC77777777@FiatFood All those things you mentioned are basic life skills. Why are you expecting school to reach them? What are you, the parents doing? Can't you reach your kid how to cook a meal, or how to change a disper?
@TravisC77777777@FiatFood Why would I need to know how to survive in the woods? I live in the city. How would you learn parenting in school? 95% of the time in school we are underage. If sexual education in sch is mentioned, you all lose your shit, but you want kids to graduate with a degree in parenting
@deejayakoni@StorymanHall@FiatFood That too, but also a variety of basic skills and knowledge. Leaning to write and read, math and science, is more important than knowing how to repair a damn car. You have school for that too. There are also school of engineering for building cars, and for building house.
