Thank you. You are the first person to actually understand what I am trying to say.

I think you missed three facts that I keep trying to hammer home.

1. I genuinely don’t care enough to do research and spend time watching the markets. I’m fortunate to have more money than time these days so $750 is worth vastly less than me doing it myself.
2. It’s safer. This is a huge % of my life savings were talking about. I don’t trust myself to do it.
3. I don’t care. At all. In any capacity.

Ah yes there is no such thing as experience or knowledge in financials!

I’m in IT and it’s the same way! Throw on an LTT playlist and by the end of the day you’ll be a sys admin!

THEY want to make money

Yes, but they make money when I make money. I pay like $750 per year to keep my account open, but other than that he only takes a percentage of my monthly gains. The more money he makes me, the more money he gets from me.

And yes of course I could do enough research to match or very them in gains and I could spend enough time watching the markets to make sure I am making sound decisions. Or I could just pay someone a few hundred bucks a month to do it for me. I know what decision I chose.

So I do actually have a high interest account from Capital One it’s very nice. But yeah there’s a bunch of rules like minimum monthly deposits and it takes up to 5 business days to transfer money out of it. And because y’all are assuming, I also have a 401k and HSA maxed out, and a Roth IRA I put some money in each month.

But yeah I intentionally left out a lot because I am not a financial expert, which is the reason why I went with a broker anyways. But here are the answers for your questions

• I have a broker through JP Morgan. I don’t know the guy and don’t talk to him outside of the once a month he calls me to update me on what’s going on.
• I don’t know what stocks he is trading and I don’t care. Every once and a while I’ll ask him to invest in something I think would be good like Nvidia or AMD but by the time I hear about something he already moved money around
• Of course he is working for the company and not me. I am not that wealthy haha
• He consistently makes me 4-6% gains which is plenty for me.

Hi so I am actually maxing out a 401k and HSA, I have a IRA too but I only put a little bit into it. I also have a high interest savings account which is very nice.

But this is my long term savings and retirement. I don’t trust myself enough for that and I’ve made 4-6% gains consistently since I started. Significantly better than I would be able to do (I know because I’ve tried with smaller amounts) plus I don’t have to worry or think about it.

Sure, but this is my retirement and long term savings. I’m able to admit my limitations and this is one of them.

I go to a doctor when I’m sick too. I trust professionals.

Actually just avoid the stock market entirely and pay someone else to manage your money.

I just have an account that I deposit money to every week when I get paid (actually it’s automatically deducted) and never think about it.

Edit: of course make sure you have your 401k, HSA, and IRA accounts maxed out people. I didn’t think I was going to have to say this but oh well. And high interest savings accounts are nicer and less risky. Do all of those things then get a broker to manage the rest of your money.

Yes, I you agree with me. They absolutely were not at their posts 2.5 hrs after end of day on a Friday, which is likely why they responded to the tickets Monday morning.

And I am also agreeing with you that there should have been someone(s) who stayed late to actually watch this. But it’s not gonna be me haha

And of course, this is all speculation from a random unsourced comment on social media. It’s not that deep ❤️

As someone in IT, the answer is in the comment.

City Hall is closed by 7:30

So nobody was ever in the office and nobody on the team wanted to stay (I’m guessing here) 2.5 hrs after work to actually do any troubleshooting and because it was never a problem during office hours then who cares

My dad’s smoker is also able to set key frames so you can have it ramp up or down in temp at various points while cooking. And it can either be set to change temp at a time or when one of the probes reaches a certain temp. Plus he really likes being able to monitor it from his iPad, especially in the winter or if he has to run up to the store real quick.

I remember the couple of times you could pick up a controller and steam link for free. And my dumbass still didn’t do it :(

It’s called buying more static IPs and making your ISP deal with it haha

Imo, that should be the primary role of the government

I understood that from a IP and trademark stand point. It could be hard to retain your copyright or trademark if you are no longer controlling a product

Yeah that wasn’t a great point. The US spies on its own people sure (but literally every country does) but it was nothing like the Soviet union.

I just spun up Lube Logger so I feel this haha

Overall, I would say so yeah.

For the bullying thing, not everyone’s parents are available or willing to discipline their kids.

And for the athletics thing, personally I believe that athletics is more about developing young adults into good people rather than the sport itself. And my school had a bunch of other things like grade minimums, required volunteer hours, we would wear dress shirts and ties before meets, and some other things like that.

Okay so you have no reason. Which is because having sexually explicit images, drawn or otherwise, is gross and weird and disturbing. And the fact that you are continually doubling down shows me that you likely need your hard drives and notebooks checked.

Please don’t respond again unless you are telling me what country you are from so I can report you to the appropriate authorities.

No. That’s not a good enough excuse to potentially be abusing children.

I can’t think of a single good reason to draw those kinds of things. Like at all. Please, give me a single good reason.
