Pretty dumb if the market goes 2008.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45393201




I move all the 401K,IRA,ROTH IRA investments to bonds if there is another recession.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1163157


If you roll non-taxable accounts to a Roth and pay the taxes out of pocket, it's like sneaking in more money than the maximum allows...and it's legal
 Quoting: BRIEF




Yeah but I won't be able to claim my yearly tax deductions if I move everything to Roth.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 508117


What losses are you deducting? It has no bearing on capital gains...you do not have to realize gains or losses to do this.

Where did he get that 100? Plus, today’s he uses everyone else’s money. Look at his holding company
 Quoting: MyPillow


He got a job and worked...the idea of money is to make it work for you by helping others grow and get their start...it's called investing and it's a real job...a fun job!
 Quoting: BRIEF


Respectfully, that's bullshit. Buffet helping others? Jesus, that's rich.

Hey, I'm all for making a buck, but call a spade a spade.

Buffet's one of the primary drivers of a system that does less to promote actual growth than it does to inflate the wealth of insiders.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76550302


Wrong. Growing businesses need money to expand, he provides the needed capital to employ people...
 Quoting: BRIEF


“The ideal business is one that takes no capital, and yet grows." - Warren Buffet 2016

His management style is to take out all the cash from a company and raise prices, buy companies and slash costs and cut staff is his method.

Don't even get me started on his unabashed love of monopolies, his massive and fundamental role in the '08 financial crisis and his involvement with the ongoing Wells Fargo scandals thru BH's 9% ownership.

And then all the b.s. he spouts about the rich needing to pay more takes, he pays a paltry 0.002% (rememeber the bragging, "I pay less tax than my secretary).

And a lefty who supported Hillary 2016.

He's a pig.

A new study has a whole different take on what debt relief means.

Getting rid of debt doesn’t just unburden finances, it takes a weight off the mind that clears up cognitive functioning, lessens anxiety and improves impulse control.

Muslim and debt free, monetarily speaking. Only debt I have are my shortcomings before God.

Hopefully some Muslim in the near-future more capable than myself will run for office and make fractional reserve banking illegal altogether. It won't be a walk in the park, unfortunately.

Borrowing on margin is basically what you are talking about and probably don't realize it. Fractional reserve simply means retaining a portion of deposits as security, and they may also leverage it...it's not what you think you understand about it...

If you are Muslim, how do you stand by and accept pedos in your fucked up religion?

 Quoting: BRIEF


Thanks brief. You confirmed my decision to drastically 'do without'...like Very very do without... For the short term in order to get out of debt.

If I kept my current expenses I would not pay off the debt for about 8-10 months... I couldn't stomach that! It gave me anxiety!.. Instead I opted to cut nearly all expenses and pay this off in 2 months.

The short term sacrifice and hardship feels 1000% BETTER then living with a debt burden.

Ive been in debt before and I absolutely hate it.

Thanks for the article, You are definitely correct.. Debt makes you feel uneasy and think differently.

__________________________=======================

Incorrect, Money or the lack of it indicates your Social Status in Society.

A Farmer grows food, a Nurse tends the sick they are both engaged in activities that are beneficial to Society yet there are not many Billionaire Farmers or Nurses in this World.

Money, cash is a medium of exchange. A person can exchange one's labour for money or a tangible asset etc.

In an ordered Society there is only a certain need for so many people to operate it at each level. The Biggest groups being the hands on workers.

People do not choose to be poor. There are many who work harder than you do but they are not well off.

The Capitalist mantra that if you work hard you will be rewarded does not always ring true. Many work hard all their lives only to have the money stolen from them.

The system is rigged and you know it is, there is no point denying it. Even your Billionaire's have to borrow money when they first start out.

However I agree with don't get in debt and your opening premise.
