I remember reading a study that said those trainings generally only have an impact for a week or so. Kind of made me lose hope about things ever actually improving. I’ve noticed it just makes people call stuff out more or apologize for people feeling a certain way but they don’t change their actions.

It’s a drop in the bucket, but eventually that’s how the bucket gets filled. Like any other progressive mandate, it starts small.

Think about gay marriage or gay partners adopting. NBD today, but 20 years ago? Hell in 2008 the “Liberal Mecca” of California passed their constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage!

I heard someone make a bold statement that contributing to a traditional 401k versus a Roth 401k were the exact same assuming the same tax rate. I ran the numbers and to my surprise they were not wrong (even considering the earnings). Can anyone explain why a Roth would ever make sense given that income will likely be lower and therefore lower tax rate in retirement?

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX.
