Immanentized posted:Seconding this, I'm going back to finish an MBA despite already having an MS. I got a sweet deal from my undergrad/grad school that let me finish the degree for only 2/3rd of the normal coursework. Fair enough. MSU Mankato prices out a MBA at around $10k plus change, so it might still be in the cards. Gotta get that bachelors first, though.

MBA - if it's not from a top 50 you should be getting it from a solid, reasonably priced state school and it should be a supplement to your work experience, not the crown jewel to get you to McKinsey. I'm in an alright school but the guy in my group that's going to Deloitte used his benefits to take every credit towards a certification he could get. CPA, CFA, Six Sigma BB etc. He probably could have been McKinsey competitive but South Bay money was calling him.

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:How do you define rich people? I worked and saved and invested over multiple deployments over the last 15 years, and I retired at 35 and basically don't have to work. Am I going to get hosed to death because I was smart and didn't blow my money on booze and women? Should I keep working just to pay taxes? More like the kind of people who would make a servant wipe their rear end with a stack of $100 bills (gotta be at least 3 ply) and insist watching it be flushed. The cricket bat is not necessary. A dry-rotted tree branch would suffice. Something you could break off deep.

If there are one or more congressmen in there, you're gonna get hosed to death.

Go overseas for an MBA. It'll cost 1/4 as much for a comparable education at a world class institution versus a top one in the states. Plus the whole international thing looks good.

Oh that whole 'his lawyer actually sent the dumb tweet' thing that I (we?) thought was probably a bullshit rumor? It wasn't. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...31ef_story.html quote:Trump’s Saturday tweets had stoked controversy, as he wrote that “I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI.” Previously, the White House had cited only the false statements to Pence as a rationale for dismissing Flynn.

If you cracked a book once in a while, you'd know that all serious advocacy for taxing wealth only applies to real Wealth, not your loving $20k checking account. Thomas Piketty really kicked this debate into the mainstream w/ Capital in the 21st C, but you don't need to have read that, you just need to have read a few of the thousands of responses to it in the last 5 years to get the gist. We're not talking about savings accounts. We're talking about hundreds of millions to billions stashed in the accounts of tax-advantaged corporate entities with no employees and no purpose except to store wealth and avoid taxes. We're waaaaaaaay past questions of self-sufficiency. Eugene V. Dubstep fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Dec 4, 2017 |

Further it's really hard to understand, but there is a difference between. "I am getting phat stacks from my holdings and no longer have to work" vs "I and my family will have "gently caress You" money forever more" No one in something awful has "gently caress you" money. Otherwise we'd hear about some goon getting a tax exemption for Wifu body pillows. Edit: although there is that goon with from what I hear is a really nice condo

I'm really interested to see someone swear under oath about what happened. Trump Tweets are almost always from him, or through Scavino. If Dowd wrote the tweet, he hosed up by saying "pled" instead of "pleaded" which ZERO lawyers do. That sort of explains why today, the lawyer (Dowd) is claiming the President can't obstruct justice because he's the highest ranking law enforcement official. It's total bullshit, based on previous impeachment documents citing obstruction, but they're officially making the Dredd Defense now.

I mean, theoretically you'd probably have some problems if everyone and their mother tried to retire at 40 by living moderately frugally on investment returns, but realistically it's never gonna be widespread enough to have large scale impacts on the economy, especially compared to more pressing looming emergencies like increased automation of both blue and white collar jobs while the US hacks away at the safety net.

Its kind of the funny thing: The Stock Market favors the wealthy, but its not stupid, they know that if the Middle Class has no purchasing power, and the lower class has no liquid assets, then bad things are going to happen. facialimpediment posted:I'm really interested to see someone swear under oath about what happened.
