From my #1 crazy FB friend:

They say hindsight is 20/20. If you had the opportunity to purchase sock in something before it went big (think Apple, Google, Amazon, Starbucks) would you?

What if I told you that you could do that today: that you could invest in a business opportunity with a proven track record, that was about to explode?

Timing is so critical, and missed opportunities are often times more expensive than the ones you take.

[BS MLM company] will be announcing something HUGE on [date], and the time to join is now!

How is a company that treads the EXACT SAME ground as dozens of others comparable to the groundbreakers cited? And the time to invest in those companies was BEFORE they had a proven track record, but you could have also invested in something else that seemed the same but fell apart. That's just gambling.

People who write stuff like this are going to burn for eternity. Purposefully deceiving weak-minded people must be the worst sin there is.

What do you mean? I thought capitalism is all about survival of the fittest. If a company is poisoning people, there's no need for the government to get involved, people will simply stop doing business with the company and they'll adapt to market pressure. Also there should be no protections against sexual harassment and child labor, for the same reasons.

I don't know, I'd be game for anything that actually keeps my feet warm in the winter.  I have wool socks that sometimes don't do the job.  Where do I sign up for these exclusive socks?

[infogoon]

Yeah this gets me. I can completely understand someone's anger at the sheer immorality and possible illegality of Wall Street's actions (or their utter disregard for anything but their own wallets) or if he/she lost a job due to the recession*, but the idea that someone lost money is a red herring. If you were invested in a broad index fund yes you you're funds would have lost value during the collapse, but they recovered within a year or two. I know quite a few people that had cash that bought a bunch of good stocks because they were on a 'fire sale.'

That went both ways; I know a few people who were close to retirement age at the time who pulled their money out at the bottom of the market and stuck it into cash and CDs, missing out on the entire recovery. Bummer.

That sounds about right. O man, if only the government treated businesses like Ayn Rand wanted. Maybe then airlines would run on time, safety regulations would be meaningless because Readon Steel would be flawless and perfect each and every time.

Somebody on my facebook posted something like "It's not even worth getting this 1$ raise since the fuckers at the IRS is just going to screw me now that I'm in the 15% bracket I might as well have not gotten a raise in the first place."

It bothered me mostly that he was so angry without even looking into it at all, than that he had the misunderstanding, since I know it's a common thing for people to not get.

Somebody beat me to explaining how it actually works though, so that's good.

That was my (Republican IRS appointee) federal income tax professor's pet peeve.  Until we have 101% marginal rates, earning more money is always a good thing.

Yup, it's amazing how stupid can be. I recall reading about people that wanted to avoid being in the highest bracket around the time Obama was elected and so would work to keep their salary a hair under the limit, failing to realize that going over it didn't mean that the tax rate would hit only the amount above the threshold. My question to them is, how the hell are you earning that much if you are too dumb to understand a simple tax fact?

I've been working to keep our household income below the next bracket.  I understand how marginal tax rates work, but the more I work, the more marginal utility my free time has and the less marginal utility my net income has (due to increased tax rates and not really needing more money)

There are humans alive today whose parents weren't yet born when Firefly was cancelled. If they asked their parents what you were referencing the parents would reply "ask Grandpa".

My aunt (the OB GYN nurse) has had bowls of condoms on her coffee table at her kids' parties for as long as I can remember.  Of course both of her kids were parents before they hit 20 anyway... but they were not 13.

Not in my state. 13-year-old parents aren't that unusual here.

But to have the child asking full questions about Firefly, I think we're dealing with at least a 3 year old, so the parents would have to have been 10 when said child was born. Not impossible, but very unlikely.

Yeah but if the parent was 3 when Firefly was cancelled then they'd still say "ask grandpa". Was making two separate points though. Point still stands. Maybe it's time to let it go. (((

He bought in to the whole "frequency" thing and purchased a very expensive box which he put on the back of his (very expensive) sports car's driver's seat.

The box was supposed to "negate" the negative frequency caused by driving.  When his nephew (an M.Eng.) asked him what was in the box, he explained that you would negate the effects if you opened the box, so he just trusted in it.

Sadly, this reminded me of the concept of buying carbon-offsets. There's a "King of the Hill" episode where the boys sell carbon offset, one person buys one and then thinks, "This makes up for the 45 minute showers I take daily, it's my ME time."

Recently read a very public facebook fight between a woman I grew up with and her husband.  She mentions how she doesn't get the support she needs and it's frustrating that she is the only one stressing about paying for tooth paste, toilet paper, putting food on the table, and fertility treatments.

Excuse me??  You can't afford food, toilet, paper, and tooth paste.  You are immature enough to have a horrible fight with your husband over facebook, but you want to bring a baby into this world??  Come on.  If you can't afford food, you aren't gonna be even close to affording a baby.  How about you get your finances together before you bring another human into the situation.

That's not always how these things work. Some couples think that by getting pregnant and having a child all their woes (financial, martial, ect) will simply cease to exist and they will be surrounded by rays of sunshine wherever they go.

That's how it was for my parents. And here's a twist--I'm adopted, with all the additional legal and paperwork challenges! Can't accidentally adopt someone. Spoiler: It didn't work out, and they were divorced before I was 5.

My friend posted a article about food trucks for dogs. They exist. She was super excited and asking if anyone had brought their dog to the doggy food truck. I typed a response about how I would never waste money on something so ridiculous, which is why I would be retiring early and dog-food-truck-customers wouldn't, but then I realized that I sounded like an arrogant prick. So I came over and wrote about it here.

Around here, absolutely. During the summer there are tons of street festivals all over the city (like 2-3 big advertised ones every weekend, and even more little neighborhood ones). People LOVE to take their dogs to these things (and I'm not judging because I take my cat to them--and if I was blessed with a dog I would take it too). Food trucks also love these things. People at festivals are primed to spend money, ESPECIALLY on food stalls/trucks. And people love their dogs. It's practically a captive audience. 

I've seen two of them around here: one is billed as a doggy bakery and the other is billed as doggy ice cream. There are also mobile grooming trucks too. Not gonna lie, I don't usually buy festival food (fortunately they only take cash usually, and I only carry plastic) but I sure as heck would buy some doggy ice cream for my poor panting pooch. If it fits in my monthly budget, it won't affect my FIRE plans.

Also, that iPhone was given to him by his job. He smashed his personal phone. The iPhone in question probably has nothing interesting on it at all - presumably he would have smashed it if it did. It's not like ISIS sent it to him.

I wonder about that couple's child, who was just a few months old when this happened. What will his mother tell the child about her parents?

This makes me think of a Franklin Covey class I took about fitting all of your priorities (rocks) in a jar. You have large rocks represent project type important things and gravel represent urgent phone calls, emails, stuff like that. People discovered if they put the gravel into the jar first, the big rocks don't fit. Okay, kind of a simple principle but I think this is applicable for retirement and savings goal. I see people all day long saying yes to anything but retirement and staying out of debt. Death by a million cuts. Death by large commutes in giant expensive SUVs. Delayed retirement because of a huge mortgage perpetuated by home equity loans. Is past you going to be happy you got coffee and out to eat food every day? Past you's body certainly won't. You can't say yes to everything, so say yes to what matters. [/end rant]

[RWD]

I saw a discussion on Facebook today about 2 hour commutes... Apparently it's too expensive to move closer to work. Seriously, there isn't a place with decent rent that could at least cut your commute in half?

We're not even talking California here. I'm pretty sure they're discussing Portland, OR. There probably aren't any two points in all of Oregon that are two hours apart and you can't find equivalent cost housing somewhere in between.

But what about enjoying life!!! /s

I completely agree with you. I am able to save a lot of my money and I love my life, I have plenty of fun on the weekends and rarely spend all that much doing so. It helps that I enjoy cooking with my friends and a impromptu dinner party isn't all that costly (certainly less than eating out even for something as rich as scallops with angel hair).
