This is shit-ville Dan's top pricing priority. :ROFLMAO:

Taco Bell prices vary by location, but generally, individual items range from around $1.00-$3.00, while combo meals and larger packs can cost $10.00-$30.00 or more. You can find Cravings Value Menu items for under $3, while Luxe Cravings Boxes are available at $5, $7, and $9 price points.

Examples of Item Prices

Well stocks have been in da shitter all this year. The reason its up is not "financial" its "political" as Powell is stroking the dRump caulk and gonna cuts rates next month just like dRump has been extorting him to do. Next comes inflation.
In any event my broker gave us a hot tip on "cheese cloths" to wrap the dead corpses of Palastine.
Ill contact our Swiss bank and have investment funds transfered from the Yacht maintenance account.

Dan, stocks have NOT been in the shitter at all. The Dow hit a record high today. The Nasdaq is close to it's highs, S&P 500 is at just about at its high.

I know you hate Trump, but the truth is, stocks are at all time highs under President Trump. Look it up, search google. You are being told incorrect information. Your blind hatred of Trump is costing you a LOT of money if you're not invested.

62% of American adults are invested in the stock market.
40% of American adults effectively pay no income tax.

Dan, I agree with not liking amoral officials. We can debate this for eternity. We say Charvel, others say Gibson, etc. It still doesn’t change the fact that currently the stock market under President Trump is at all time highs. According to gallop’s yearly poll on stock ownership, 62% of American own stocks. We all know Democrat left leaning citizens own stocks, so they must also be bad? I’m sure you feel that logic is flawed and incorrect. What I’m getting is I hope you’re invested in the stock market since being invested will be making you a lot of money. Being moral, amoral, immoral or nonmoral doesn’t change the fact that the stock market is booming right now under Trump.

that's their problem, and why they will live paycheck to paycheck, and likely depend on social security in retirement if they can retire at all. Many retirees face poverty because they didn't save or invest for their future.

I retired early, I'm living on investment income and cash reserves that I replenish with investment income...not even touching my investment principal or my retirement accounts, nor do I need social security yet. I'm also paying for my own medical benefits coverage until I qualify for Medicare at 65. I'm also paying for my kid's college tuition, room and board, my mortgage, alimony,...

I can only do this because I invested for decades in the markets; consistently; good times and bad times; invested more whenever I could; lived below my means, etc.

I'm postponing social security while I do Roth conversions because up to 85% of our social security can be taxed (even higher if your state taxes it) if you exceed the ridiculously low income threshold.

My guess is that all of the 40% of Americans who are gaming the system and not paying any income tax, make up the bulk of the people not invested in the stock market.

So Dan is arguing ostensibly against corruption and immorality while championing people on EBT and SNAP, the majority of which are perfectly capable of getting a fucking job like everyone else, but find it easier to stand on the street corner with a sign in their hand. Which is strange after the derision he rained down on Crystal Sky in the last week. Either Dan is conflicted internally or Dan doesn't have a fucking clue what he's talking about. I'll let you make up your own mind which.

Dude, my first wife made a shitload of money on Walmart stock. She worked for them starting at 15 1/2 and ended up a receiving manager at Sams Club. Pay wasn't that great, only got 37 1/2 hours and the insurance sucked, but they matched stock for employees. So every paycheck she bought stock, which Walmart matched. And ( at least then) WalMart stock split about every 2 years. When she left my ass she was worth about 3/4 of a mil in Walmart stock.

I am fortunate like your ex in regards to stock investments for the company worked for. I worked 20 years for Canadian Tire which is Canada's version of Walmart. Stock flipped every 2 to 3 years. Came out in a good spot! Very lucky.

A few companies I worked for did the company match with company stock; I never invested in companies , even with employee incentives, where I worked for two reasons:

1) early on I was getting stock options
2) investing in a company while working there put too much into one company, which worked out well for me twice

We're not retired yet but we are following a similar path. I said this once before, we have failed by not making financial literacy a requirement in HS education. Every kid should graduate knowing how to save, budget, plan for retirement, file a tax return, interview for a job or start a business, etc. There's lots of money to be made in making sure they don't, though.

Of course the economy of 2025 is lot different than 1995. All the more reason to get kids prepared for the real world. Simple steps in your 20's can mean millions in your 60's.

Agreed. Although, I would not rely on the education system for these life skills; it's up to the parents. My parents didn't teach me about finance and investing, I had to learn it for myself, making mistakes along the way.

Even though the economy seems to change, the fundamentals of investing are the same once you learn and understand these, you can navigate fairly well. I think some people make financial decisions without understanding or just a basic understanding; options, derivatives, etc., require knowledge and understanding. Many day traders are a form of modern day speculators IMO. Some of the best books I've read on finance and investing were published several decades ago, and have served me well, they still work.


I taught my son what I know and how I approach finance and investing, and he's managing his own investment account with my oversight; doing very well so far, just started college this fall semester.

Once I have everything in place for my retirement in the next 2-3 years, my ultimate goal is to move the bulk of my wealth into a trust fund for him, that will provide protection and management controls even after I'm gone. I'm still learning about trusts, not being an attorney some of it is tough, but I want to know enough to understand how they work, my options, what I want, what questions to ask, etc.

Cheers!
 
We have a trust and taught our son's well. They have 401ks and Robinhood.

I'm semi retired because I want to go do something, I just don't know what that thing is yet.

You could also buy a annuity for your son but depends on what you want exactly.

I have a few insurance annuities. They are great in a down economy (not so much now of course). So although they do not provide the greatest opportunity for a return, they protect my money up to -%10, so essentially you can't loose money on them or I should say, I have not yet.

Not a fan of annuities; too restrictive. So far a hybrid trust is closest to what I want:

A hybrid trust including discretionary and spendthrift trusts give you maximum flexibility and protection—especially useful when you want to support your adult child while safeguarding the assets from creditors, divorce, lawsuits, or even their own decisions.

edit: I still have much more research to do on trusts.

It's safety vs growth/income. I'm in a good position in that I can keep most of my wealth in aggressive growth and growth, while having a small portion dedicated to income generation and principal preservation for my living expenses.

Roth conversions will be a tax hit, so I'm spreading them out over 2-3 years, then they can grow tax free; after I die, my kid can inherit the Roth tax-free with 10 years to withdraw the entire balance.
