Played around a bit with small amounts of money for fun in oil futures for a bit. It’s fun but recommend treating it like Vegas gambling (unless you’re hedging other exposures) and sticking to very small sums.

I think owning a rental property is immoral. If you don’t live somewhere, you shouldn’t be allowed to own and jack up prices. It’s literally the definition of “rent seeking”. Real estate prices are a result of the community, if you aren’t contributing to that community, it’s not yours to benefit from.

That and when many can’t even afford their first home.

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
