Index Card Upsets Primitive

This is an insult!
  
To those of us who can't afford financial planners, who don't have 401Ks and those of us who can't pay the full balance of their credit cards every month. The Washington Post (once again!) carries water for those in the population who are much, much, more well off than the majority of the nation. So glad to know that the parasites that live off of government contracts in and around the beltway are doing so f-ing great, ie. your readership. GFYWARC Washington Post!

So people should be insulted at good advice if everyone isn't able to use it equally? Whatever you say, primitive.

I think we should move away from things which only empower the 1%. You are just playing their form of 'Monopoly" still. There is no way to defeat capitalism from within capitalism.

Now this idiot has been over here before, so maybe he'd care to explain just how he does this in his own life.

One of the main problems with these anti-capitalist  is that they don't live in the same manner they tell others it would be best. If you don't believe in capitalism, then fine, live off the grid and have nothing to do with anything touched by capitalism. Don't do anything to advance capitalism. That's how you tell me you're sincere. But if you're still living your life while coming in contact with capitalism (whether it be food, shelter, clothing. etc... which has been produced and distributed via capitalism) while preaching anti-capitalism, then I really can't take your message to heart, because obviously you don't believe it either.

The only thing at all political on it is actually something completely in line with the so-called 'Progressive' thinking, the last sentence about social insurance programs.  The rest of it is apolitical entirely, and simply sound generic advice for people with large (Not huge) accumulated investment capital and current income beyone the hand-to-mouth level. 

It does however appear to be based on the outmoded, racist thinking that people should actually WANT to be able to pay their own way.

More or less that is the advice that my father gave me but without all the fund manager ideas.  Also he suggested 10%.

The government skims 13.5% of your money for SS and another 3.5 (or more now) for medicare. Did they perform a fiduciary standard or did big government go out and spend it all on themselves? The government fiduciaries should be in prisons serving very long terms for what they have with the money we entrust....er was extorted at gun point out of us. The federal government is Madhoff times a trillion. Yet not one person has gone to jail.

Government is a necessary evil. Government run by democrats/progressives is just evil.

     The real problem for the DUmmies is that they don't have two nickels to rub together, so this advice is pointless.

Worse, if they were ever offered a penny for their thoughts, whoever made the offer would be due change.

I've contributed to at 401K since I was 21, my current contribution is only 3% because I'm working on paying off school loans, but a little money goes to it every paycheck.  I also have several savings accounts at the bank, one for an emergency, one for my future house purchase, and one for vacation travel (that one clearly isn't a long term savings account) that I contribute to each month.

I wish that I had worked to pay off my credit cards each month, I have a fair bit more credit card debt than I would like, but I am slowly chipping away at it. 

I'll admit that I'm not taking most of the investment advice yet, but I will be adding more to my financial portfolio in the future. 

I know that if I live below my means now and pay off as much debt as I can, then in 5 years or so, I will be very comfortable with my salary and will be able to save a large portion of it.  I may not be in the 1%, but I don't need to be.  I just need enough money to make life comfortable

So paying your bills and living within your means is all a plot by the 1% to keep us down.

You DUmmies are just worthless.  It's not only the Capitalist way of thinking you, it's the fact that you may have to be responsible for your actions.  Money like other things in life flourish when you do the right things and make the right decisions.  You immoral slugs just what to do whatever comes along with no repercussions.  When someone points out how worthless you idiots are it hurts your tender feelings and you whine and cry about it.    :bird:

Those Vanguard accounts have a minimum fund opening of $1,000.  No primitive in the history of the world has ever had that much spare change floating around.  The ones that do is from old money.  

I would be very curious to see what alternative the PowerToThePeople primitive can come up with for planning for the future.

6. It's good advice for the small percentage of people who can afford to take it.

Most if us simply don't earn enough to even save 20% of income.

A majority of people simply do not earn enough to follow this advice.

Bullshit.  I'm only 32, married, and by the grace of God, our savings rate is approaching 90% of our income.  No one has done me any favors, and I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth.  I used two skills that all primitives lack: hard work and determination.  I bet you I could realize a 20% savings rate on your income, prefunk primitive.  You might have to go without cable TV and weed, but I could find it.
