Thank you. I am implementing everything you said, I will just weed out a couple things that are irrelevant to me,

first of all my healthcare is completely covered as a military veteran,

second I will never hire another financial advisor after my experience with Edward Jones a few years ago who cared nothing about my "financial mental health," (which I urgently needed help with at the time), they only cared about how my money was helping them.

I trust people like you on Lemmy more than I will ever trust a paid financial advisor. You guys are honest and you always give the same logical advice over and over again, I just need to absorb it, remember it, and do it.

Thank you. I do miss a lot of the resources from "that other site" but they just banned my sixth account and I'm so done with them. I have noted all your advice and I will implement it.

Index fund. Got it.

Got it. Will do. This is the kind of advice I'm looking for because I don't understand anything about investing, all I know investing is the only way to get ahead in life. Roth IRA. Got it.

Employers don't want to solve our problems. If all of our problems were solved, we wouldn't go to work anymore. Employers would not like that.

So they pay us just barely enough (or less) to string us along that we have no choice but to keep coming back to work everyday.

How does the act of placing a broom behind the front door signify the guest should leave? The broom is blocking the exit. 🤔

It says "AzureDiamond" now. What did it look like before?

You're all the technology-savvy intelligent ones who figured out Lemmy right away, months ago. I was trying to get into Lemmy even before July 1st but finally figured it out today November 10th! I finally got into Lemmy today. It was nearly as difficult as applying & repeatedly being rejected for competitive employment somewhere. sheesh.

Because elected officials are above the law until someone decides to blackmail them.

Now you're just being elitist. True, petrol-fueled cars cannot run without oil. But fediverse CAN run on different things besides linux.
