  • I don't know your situation, but investing is riskier than a savings account, that currently yeilds a high interest rate.

    If you need an emergency fund, make one in a high yield savings account first. My rough number is $10,000. "You're missing out on the gains" is an incredibly shortsighted view people have in the stock market. "Gains" are made over 20 year periods.

  • "So Mr President what has your government done for young families and in particular childcare and parental leave on your 4 years that will rally up the democratic base come 2024?"

    "Taxes? Isn't this the line for Metallica?"

  • I eventually signed up to Reddit in 2011 when it started to become less of the "wild west." I mean anything could pop up on the front page. 2015 I really got sick of US politics in everything, and I think after the 2016 election, I found out just how many subreddits were controlled and modded by like 4 people. Reddit had a plethora of issues well before most current users even arrived.

  • Living in apartments.

    In a lot of cities and towns living in apartments is seen as something that young adults who are renting short term do, and definitely not families or older couples.

    Living in an apartment is considerably cheaper for my situation. I drive so much less, I pay for less power, and I have all this parkland around me.

    I'm a car guy and I don't have a garage, that's annoying, but I commute by escooter now and drive on the weekends. It's much better.

  • I haven't watched TV in years. I have a tv, but it's only hooked up to the gaming consoles.

    The referendum last year? I didn't see any ads, I just read ABC news every few days to see what was up. That $200 million dollar lottery? Never heard anything about it. "Did you hear about the car crash on the...?", nope.

    On YouTube I'd rather donate directly to the creators I like, and I feel I'm really apart of that niche community.

    I think about the old family radio that everyone sat around, and then the tv that everyone sat around, and now people can kinda sit around watching their own thing, and (hopefully) chat share about their interests.

    I don't think free to air will be around in 10 years. It's up to the advertisers.

  • That's a great question. What I would say is the wheels of justice turn painfully slowly.

    I am sure Antony Blinken is well aware of domestic concerns over the wellbeing of Gazans, the unfortunate reality is any big decision against or at Israel will come with negative consequences.

    The path of least resistance might be allowing the Israeli's to squeeze out their own leader democratically. Is that the best way? Well, probably? Not always?

    A pacifist may look to the Vietnam War, Libya or Iran and say action was injustice, an activist might look at the Rwandan Genocide and say pacifism was injustice. Diplomacy has to do it's thing.

  • Yep. I bet my landlord is barely, if it all, breaking even on yield. Whereas I'm sitting on my arse investing in ASX: VAS getting 12%.

    Why people go the lengths to get a loan, buy a flat, find a tenant, do all the maintenance and paperwork, all to get 0.1% yeild, and maybe an increase in value? I mean the last 30 years yes it would be wise, but you can't just say it'll be like that in the future.

    Also, if I need the equity, it's liquid, unlike houses.
