I made soup out of a discount supermarket chicken the other day. It was really weird - normally if I boil a chicken for an hour or so, lots of fat bubbles to the surface and the meat falls off the bone. Hardly any fat came off of this chicken, and it was still really stiff after like 2 hours in the pot. Also it was flavorless. I only eat meat once or twice a week for financial and environmental reasons. I'd rather drop my consumption even lower than eat a gross chicken like that again.

Harry posted:I would imagine the market for that is absurdly small. Then would get even smaller when someone's purchase gets rejected when the movie theater is coded as a grocery store by mistake. This is why I think prize-linked savings accounts are far more elegant solution. It's crazy that they aren't widely available.

I have a completely retarded question. If I want to max out my 401k, and my employer has 5% matching, my contribution should be: ($17.5k/salary)-.05 right? What happens if you hit the contribution limit before the end of the year? Will Fidelity just not take the money?

Ok, that makes it easy. I'm about to turn 29, and I'm kicking myself for not maxing my contribution earlier.

Yeah. I've had a good but suboptimal trajectory with my money, but it's weird to think about how much worse I'd be without a finance subforum on a comedy website. I'm maxing my 401k and my Roth, and it feels good.

It's 5% of our yearly income. We also have a pension plan, which I didn't even know about until last week.

My friend's apartment burned down last week. Nobody hurt, but they're homeless and they lost all their stuff. I've been toying with the idea of buying a condo, but man, this is really making me reconsider the idea of owning property.

I have zero debt, a healthy retirement account, and a down payment for a house saved up. And I'm cringing because I just dropped $1400 on a custom built musical instrument.
