Any luxury car: lease. Some bland econobox: buy it and drive until the wheels fall off

I like the perks of leasing like new car, no maintenance, you can switch out what you have every few years

Depends on how many miles you need in a year, if you prefer newer cars, and whether or not you want to manage maintenance issues over the long term

I’d say I need less then the average. 10k and under

In terms of value for money, what the best used cars to buy?

Has to be Toyota and Honda, they reach like 200-300k miles if you do regular maintenance and are good about repairs, also car parts are much cheaper than other cars

I can’t stop feeling so behind all the time. It seems like every one of my peers doesn’t have to worry about student loans, car insurance (paid by their parents still) etc. I keep thinking about how if I didn’t have all these bills I’d maybe have some savings that I could be proud of. Currently A2 making 65K in HOL and I feel like I’ll never be able to save up for a down payment or wedding or anything. Just feeling discouraged.

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
