Tell us about the investments you made and the amount of credit card debt you have carried through it all?
You're the asshat who told me to wait until after 7/6 for the tariffs to go into effect before buying Funko stock. Funny thing about that. I paid $11.00/share a few weeks ago. It's now trading at $14.50/share.
Maybe you need to educate yourself on how tariffs work? Paul Krugman has an article that you migh find informative.
A more reliable indicator of wealth is whether or not a person has a subscription to The Wall Street Journal. Ronald Read was a janitor with an $8M fortune when he died and surprised many who thought he was poor old man in 2015. Other than a subscription to The Wall Street Journal, he had no other outward indicator that he was wealthy.
I have a friend who makes minimum wage in Silicon Valley ($12/hr). He owns an iPhone 7 (256GB), iPad Pro, and two older iPads. No one is going to mistake him for being rich.
I work in a Windows shop and the default browser is Internet Explorer. A new help desk provider has a cloud-based solution that works only with Google Chrome. Most people at work found it odd that clicking on the help desk link in IE will launch Chrome to access the help desk website. Very odd, indeed.
Nope. I'm the bankruptee who will take his $1M+ in retirement savings to move to Mexico, marry a 14-year-old chica with the village elders' approval, build a McMansion outside the village, and become a Mexican warlord.
By the time a web developer has learned the latest JavaScript framework, a new framework has already came out and the old framework is being depreciated.
I read somewhere that two-thirds of colonial citizens didn't care who won the Revolutionary War. Fast forward 242 years, two-third of American citizens don't care who wins the presidential election. Some things never change.
Remember that academics have to establish themselves with peer reviewed papers. So they need to study something to get started. Once they get tenured at a university, they can study something serious like basket weaving from 10,000 years ago.
Congratulations, that's one or two years in an assisted care facility.
That's funny. A few comments ago you wrote " one month in the special care facility".
I know you're not an American and things are different Quebec. The shittiest care home in America starts at $10K per month. That's why the Republican health care plan encourages people to die qucker.
...or you could get that job and in one year triple your gain compared to your silly coins.
Constituional silver (i.e., old coins) is only 10% of my stack. The rest is in bullion, generic and poured silver. Not sure why you keep harping on the subject.
Even with good blood pressure, a fat man your size is already pushing his luck at 70!
I've been pushing my luck since I was born. I'm supposed be dropping dead any minute by the next decade. Your calculator is good for an average person. I'm not average. My father stopped working six weeks before he died from thoat cancer at 75. I don't see why I can't do the same.
Your choice of employer and hour long commute is odd given there are people paying 15000 more a year for the same work right by your house.
Does this nearby job that pays $15,000 more offer a five-year contract, full 401K/health benefits, 20 PTO days, paid federal holidays (40 hours), a super easy commute and working with a team of top-notch professionals? Also, will the responsibilities be a step up from managing 80K workstations across the Western US, Guam and the Philippines?
A transit system by design moves people from the outside (affordable housing in the suburbs) to the inside (jobs in downtown). I don't know about Manhattan, but the population for San Francisco doubles from 1M to 2M in size each weekday as commuters come into the city to work.
You're spending hundreds of dollars in transit passes to commute to a job that pays less than the average rate in your own neighborhood.
The $2,000 per year that I spend on monthly transit passes is the same amount of money that I would spend on insurance and gas for a used car. What I don't have to budget for since I don't own a car is $2,000 to $3,000 for routine maintenance and annual repairs.

I'm sure it's only a coincidence that Google is adopting the notch from Apple.
FNKO hasn't traded at $11.00 since june before I sold mine, you could have at least saved face saying 11 instead of 11.00
Let me logged into my brokerage account. I paid $11.60 per share on 06/25/2018. Does that satisify your need to needlessly nitpick?
Google should let others bleed first to develop the technology, come out with their own version and then claim that they invented it first.

With the dead tree books that never get read, the accumulated dust bunnies and the monster that lives under the bed? I don't think so.

You don't understand what a warloard is.

Found your Funko POP! mascot.

I wear a size 13 4E New Balance. The largest pair that New Balance makes is 20 4E. Now that's goblin feet.

You can always order from ToyWiz. I've pre-ordered some of my Funko Pops through them.
Ok so set yourself up so that you don't have to work.
Why would I want to stop working? I don't want to stop working, grow old and then die.
If you bought at peak silver prices, which I believe you did, You'd be down 66%
2011 @ $50 per ounce? I've sold what silver i had then. I should have bought more $5 per ounce silver after the Dot Com Bust.
Why don't you at least show me your your bills, investments, and income and let me make some suggestions chris??
You're too busy low balling the numbers that you pulled out of your ass. You wouldn't believe my numbers anyway.

Right, because who needs to pay bills when there's silver coins to be stacked?
My government IT job does pay all the bills. My silver are in tubes and a PITA to get out of storage.
Wow, 275 ounces is worth barely more than 4000$, or one month in the special care facility you'll need when you retire.
It's 330 ounces and the melt value is $5,300. Some of it will be quite rare in 30 years when I put it up for sale.
I almost forgot. Only 40-hour work weeks. I wouldn't want the job that pays the bills to interfere with my other businesses.
