  • Just gotta celebrate it. We need people to do jobs in every aspect of society. Even those “lesser” jobs need to be done. Even if the follow up is, “oh what’s that like? Do you like it?” It can get the person talking and lead to other topics

    My kids are starting a new school in the fall, so ive been asking this question a lot. Ive learned so much about people and their interest by just starting there


  • Others have said it, but it depends on what you are trying to do. I know NYSE, so particular recommendations may not be applicable to you.

    Find a sector you believe in. If its tech you can go for something like the NASDAQ fund QQQ. If you want a little more risk/reward, follow the industry, then find who is the big players. Dont sleep on support businesses too. So if you like AI, NVIDIA is the obvious answer, but conpanies like GE Vernova who do a lot of power gen solutions for ai companies offer a growth opportunity with the industry you like, but offers a little more diversity.

    If you want highest risk/reward, you want options. There are safe ways to use options and other strategies are simply chaos. But you need to do the above before you start to think about options.

    Lastly, dont think wallstreetbets is your friend. You wont learn anything there

    Ive always differentiated lemmy/reddit from social media for 2 main reasons. First because it isnt (or wasnt) full of “influencers” trying to push shit on you. Second and probably more so, becausee its anonymous. I dont know anyone one here personally and no one knows me. These platforms are more like collections of the internet with a comment section, imo. Not much different than things like The Chive or even a news site, but instead of news, its memes and sometimes news

    I just bought a house, and honestly, dont even try to get a above 20% to knock off pmi (assuming thats a thing where you are). When we sold our previous house and did a recast with the proceeds, the difference between hitting 20% and hitting the 20% + $50k was about $200 in monthly payments







  • I doubt anyone ratted him out. HOA “inspections” are a thing. I was in an HOA once, and i had a shutter fall off my house. They took a picture of it and sent it to me to tell me i had to fix it.

    That HOA was good tho. The shutter had been off 6 months and the note said, “most of the time, residents dont even know theyre in violation. So you have a month to prove you come up with a plan to fix it.” Which was like, call and get a quote. Then just sent them a pic when it was back up
