An argument for minimum wage increases. And a reason to be concerned for the future. No 401k and not enough for an IRA.

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???

Recommendations for a Roth IRA?

Landed an interview tomorrow with Zendesk. I’m so excited for this! The role is for a business development representative. I have around 8 YOE in sales/client services.

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

If you could right now, would you buy a house in full cash or invest in the market?

What happens to the funds you're invested in if you roll an old employer's 401k into your current employer's 401k? Is your current 401k custodian able to continue keeping those funds invested even if they don't offer the funds themselves?

Hi Guys I was a BA and recently became a full fledge PO in my new job. Can you share which areas to focus on to perform well.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

In your opinion, what are some of the greatest achievements of the Biden presidency so far?*

*Excluding getting Trump out of office. Democracy did that one.

I got more in AIP than Trump paid in taxes 😂😂

Promises made and promises kept - Trump has build the wall.
The blue wall - WI, MI and PA

Yes. I assumed Biden gets PA.

I think we have tried our best to explain to hopeful “Magas” nothing is changing and trump just needs their money. They hate logic, facts and truth. Can we please stop wasting our energy. 😅

Thoughts and reasons for a possible Mike Flynn pardon?

Hi all - just joined the bowl and planning on voting this Nov for first time. Not a Trump fan but not trying be biased as well. Can both sides explain to me the reason why people should keep trump for another year vs a new president? Thanks

Marjorie is the new Rudy?

I propose a new rule: if a senator voted yes on Betsy Devos, they are not allowed to vote no on any of Biden’s nominees based on experience and competency.

Once, when I was little, I was playing Monopoly with my cousin. I was the banker, and I liberally “quantitatively eased” myself whenever he wasn’t looking.

I got unlucky and lost the game but I threw an absolute FIT, accusing my cousin of cheating because I knew how severely I’d cheated myself. How could he have won if HE didn’t cheat?!

Donald Trump’s righteous, desperate conviction is that of a losing cheater. I only hope he gets the time out he so richly deserves.

This yr would be the first time im eligible to vote. The primary is coming up for my state. Im a bit confused as to what were voting for. Arent the candidates already determined? Is Joe Biden not the democratic nominee and the incumbent president would automatically default to being the other parties candidate as long as theyre eligible. What am i missing? The resources online are horrible and say that were voting for our parties preferential candidate...again isnt that already determined?

“Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.” ― Joseph Stalin

The fact that Biden leads by 10 points nationally shows this country still has a bit of common sense. The fact the election is still a competitive race and may swing both ways shows how crazily undemocratic the electoral system is. Time to get rid of it, no reason to exist
