I have a relative who cashed out all of his retirement accounts sometime in Jan '09 (2 months shy of DOW 10,000, woo!), citing concerns that Obama might find a way to take it all on top of 'I got tired of seeing my retirement disappear.' Once remarked that he didn't consult a financial adviser because, quote, "he'd've told me not to." Stayed completely liquid way too long. Thought the whole problem was government inserting it's childlike hand into the affairs of men, thought he'd wait. Thought it was a good idea based on everything he'd learned from Beck and Limbaugh. Acting on his beliefs roughly halved his retirement accounts, cost him 50K - 70K, and from what I can tell he learned nothing.

HookShot posted:At the Sydney Olympics in 2000 there were some guys that brought a caravan and parked in on the road, getting a ticket every single day. But when they were asked about it, they said the ticket was cheaper than getting a hotel room and this way they had a way better spot, so it was worth it.

Is it BWM for American Express to be sending out all these ~1 lb offers on thick stock? Overall, they're quite nice. No wonder their fees are so high.

My parents were into hoarding. Almost every pound of it went into roll-off dumpsters due to rodent excrement. That poo poo's awful, and a serious dick-move to the next generation. It's good thing there was a few grand in change and bills floating around the house because it was necessary for dumpsters and cleaning crews. The house just recently sold for half its appraised value and we were lucky to get that much.

melon cat posted:I work with a lot of Grade 7-8 students, and let me tell you- there seems to be this weird, persistent interest in Marine Biology (is that at all similar to marine Archeology? Maybe. I don't know). In every class I've ever taught in, there's always a good handful of students who say that they want to become a Marine Biologist. And whenever they say it, they always say it with a smirk like it's the mightiest of career decisions. So they don't just say, Do the girls still walk around with stuff covered in dolphins? My sister couldn't get enough of Space Dolphins and now one of her degrees is in marine biology.
