Deleterious Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I dont want to flood this thread with investing BS. But this is a nice flow chart from the personalfinance subreddit. Again, this is a guide, not absolutes. Quote
pfife Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 2 hours ago, Deleterious said: Pretty standard to build an emergency fund, invest in your 401K only enough to hit the employer match, then start paying off high interest debt, then go as hard as you can on your Roth. 401K's are not that hot. Normally they have higher fees than IRA's. You also have a lot more choices of what to invest in with an IRA. Another big benefit for someone just starting out or rebuilding. You can pull your Roth contributions out at anytime without a penalty or paying taxes. You only pay taxes on the gains. Sort of acts like a second emergency fund. Good stuff thanks Quote

CMRivdogs Posted Saturday at 01:25 AM Posted Saturday at 01:25 AM I'm currently rewatching Good Night and Good Luck. Edward R Morrow and McCarthy. Mr Morrow is probably rolling over in his tar stained grave... For a bit more context...the Morrow RTNDA ( Radio and TV News Directors Association) speech where he takes the News Media to task in 1958 https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/edwardmurrowrtnda.htm Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted Saturday at 01:55 PM Posted Saturday at 01:55 PM Zachary Young did more to help Afghans after Biden’s horrendous botched pull out then his whole administration. Also more proof that Jake Tapper is a terrible human being. Quote
mtutiger Posted Saturday at 02:03 PM Posted Saturday at 02:03 PM Two points: CNN, like all cable news networks, sucks. Glad to see them called out on bad reporting and held accountable for it. Linking to a Fox News article talking about another network settling a defamation lawsuit is *chef's kiss* 1 Quote

Would you have been happy if I posted an NPR or Mother Jones link? Quote

I don't particularly care one way or another, I just find it amusing to see Fox News (who themselves shelled out upwards of $800 million dollars for defamation), of all outlets, crowing about another network defaming another person or entity.

He's almost like the people in the Society Islands on James Cook's third voyage who were really into some red feathers he brought from one of his previous stops. Except in this he's interested in things with his image on them that celebrate him. Quote
