Wasnāt sure where to put this. Itās not really āstupidā but itās stupid that itās thought to be a necessity.

Whatās really stupid are the savings rates of most americans. A 12% annual return on nothing is nothing. I should know, I invested everything into a small biz that tanked completely. Whoops. Net worth is finally >0 in February, but just barely.

Ya, man, itās crazy. I would have a hard time not at least setting aside enough to get the company match. Itās like someone is trying to hand you money and youāre like, nah, Iām good. WTF!!!

Yea, but you took a risk you knew could blow up. Some people donāt even take the non risk savings avenue (FDIC insured savings account) with a negative effective return (thanks inflation).

Iām not sure what generation you are from, but this really isnāt a generational thing. Relative to remaining time to retirement, most generations are actually doing really badly at this.

My generation tends to lose that āI didnāt know betterā mentality as personal finance knowledge is very widely accessible and easily verified, with a huge push AWAY from scummy Charles Schwab esque salespeople, especially compared to prior generations.
Edit: also iirc statistically more employers are offering better 401k benefits than ever before, but Iād have to dig around to find that old article, so grain of salt
LOL. That awkward moment when youāre so rich you try to call a judgeās bluff. Govt waves around a pretty big stick buddy
Not sure where to post this. The article itself is fine. The schoolās policy, however, is stupid.
Elementary schools have dances? I think thatās the first problem.
You have piqued my interest with this commentā¦
Yes, please elaborate
Damn it, someone make a clever footloose joke! Iām struggling this morningā¦ (goes to the coffee machine).
While Indian and Chinese kids are learning math our priorities are social occasions.
I recently worked with a 5th grader originally from Uzbekistan who speaks 5 languages. But dances are important too.
Yeaā¦ but does Uzsomethung have broadway and teen mom? ā¦

Itās like 2 hours once or twice a year at mostā¦
They are. Do you not think socializing is important? Also, do you not think Indians donāt have dances? Have you BEEN to an Indian wedding ā¦ those fuckers dance for like 4 hours straight ā¦ like coordinated group dancing.
Do you think this is the norm in Uzbekistan? If so, why? (I really have no idea what Uzbek culture is like tbh). Iām sure you can find a 5th grade American kid who can speak 5 languages or can do partial derivatives - Iād imagine theyāre equally scarce in the US as they are in Uzbekistan or Chinaā¦
