Do you not have a pension saving scheme that gives a tax break when employers pay into it direct from your wages?
In the UK it’s pretty standard. I think it’s even a legal requirement for employers to offer it, even if the amount they put in is paltry.
What did you do in 2020, when everything shut for COVID?
What did you do in 2008, when the arse fell out of the housing market?
What did you do in 2000, when the dotcom bubble popped?
Chances are the answer was “just shuffle on as normal, carry on living paycheck to paycheck, possibly get a new job if you work for somebody badly affected”. Odds are your pension pot will recover by the time you need it.
What do rich people do? They gamble. Watch The Big Short. You could try that, but chances are you’ll lose money. “The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”, as the old saying goes.
Appeal to their vanity. Start saying how brave the astronauts are and make them celebrities. Give them all the credit. Don’t mention the funders at all.
Next ones go up with a billionaire on board for sure.
At least two billionaires keep firing rockets into space as a hobby. It’s only a matter of time.
I’m holding out for an Airwolf or Street Hawk.
Be funny if we share an orbit with another Earth that is exactly in sync to stay behind the sun.
Yeah, Black Monday and similar in the Dot Com Bubble, the Sub Prime Mortgage crisis, and COVID.
But these are events that got named. BTC loses a chunk of value it’s just Tuesday.
Have some in your portfolio, sure. But all crypto added together has a similar market cap to Microsoft or Apple, and when BTC dips, all the other crypto follows it.
I turned off ads on mine.
By turning it face down.
Are there many left where you are? The UK has one plant left, and we had to take it over so it didn’t close completely.
I guess it’s quite handy to have a steel plant if war breaks out and you’re not relying on China for it all…
Unleash COVID-25.
I don’t think you’ll find a public company right now that isn’t balls deep in the slop machines, desperately trying to offload staff in favour of machines that can’t do the jobs.
Almost like they’re not losing it, but stealing it.
I’ll just wait for the movies to come out ten years later telling us exactly how they all lost our money again.
The sad thing is that velocity pays the bills. Quality it seems, doesn’t matter a shit, and when it does, you can just patch up the bits people noticed.
I love Dolphin. Great for GameCube and Wii games.
And if they were found to be sending it all the time, holy fuck the fines would end the company.
A lot more lost it.
