Michael Scott posted:How did you have $50k just sitting around? Well, it was in my Trad IRA, which I gamble with all the time, so I liquidated some stuff just before Brexit. It was actually closer to $35k.

Sound posted:Curious what you bought. I moved most of my 401k to cash late last year, seems like this would be a good spot to buy in. A chunk of Barclay ADR, another good chunk into FSRBX (its a US banking sector fund), and then the rest in spatterings of other UK and German ADRs. I'm comfortable losing a ton/all of this though, so don't think I'm giving you advice or anything. I'm being extremely aggressive. Michael Scott posted:Why are you liquidating and playing around with it?? What if the market went up a few percentage points while your savings were liquid? Oh, just for this reason. It's not all of my retirement money or anything like that. I've got a pension, 401k, ROTH, and this traditional IRA. My Trad is where I take all my big risks and this felt like a good one to me. edit: Just noticed you weren't asking me that. Yeah, liquidating an entire 401k and leaving it as cash seems a bit odd. Unless you just rolled it over into an IRA or something. Solice Kirsk fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Jun 27, 2016 |

Michael Scott posted:I wish I had your kind of money to play around with, that's all. It feels like a foreign freedom to me. I might never get there. If your company is hiring let me know It's not like I had super high paying jobs or anything. I started a Roth IRA when I was 19 and just always put money into it, contributed to any 401k plan any job offered me, and every time I left a company moved the 401k into a Traditional IRA. One of my dad's good friends was a financial advisor, so having him help me really got me started young and in the mindset of putting away. Go talk to financial advisor. They'll help you get to your goals. Or you can go to Ask/Tell-> Business and finance and be told to get a Vanguard account (which is typically good advice).

The US will welcome you into our fold just like all children do when their parents grow too old to care for themselves. US is good kids. Australia and Canada are the lovely kids that don't even call on holidays, but keep your picture up to ease their own conscience.

I'm planning on visiting England in the next couple years so the worse off it is the better. If it turns into an English speaking Mexico, but with mildew instead of beaches, I would love it.

They're probably not wrong if they were born here.  That's actually a good question, is the US the only country that's obsessed with ancestry and where you came instead of just saying you're Canadian, or Spanish, or English, etc?

A Magical Lamp posted:Not really, everyone likes to know where their family came from. Just doesn't come up in conversation much. I guess that makes sense. I know I'm 50% Italian, 25% Spanish, and 12.5% of both German and English, but what that really means I don't know. I mean besides being all the good looking/heavy drinking countries in

Mexican cartels would take over Texas in a matter of seconds if they seceded from the US. It would be hilarious and I feel it should happen sooner than later.

Moridin920 posted:pretty sure the cartels would roll right over some pudgy texans Easily too. You remove the federal government and the cartels wouldn't give two shits about some backwoods "militia" defending their ranches or a local police force. Those rancher's heads would be swinging from overpasses as a warning with in the first day. Mexican cartels don't gently caress around.

Chichevache posted:Quick racism question! I'm an American and I don't want athletes who competed in Brazil bringing back plagues to my country because they were too selfish to say no. On a scale of grandma who doesn't like Italians to Hitler, how racist am i? Are sportsmans a race though? Maybe it just makes you a bigot, in which case I'd say you would be right around an older Aunt that lives in a small town who occasionally tells a racist joke with out realizing it.
