How many times do I have to tell you I could buy a brand new car cash if I wanted.

At your young age you should be investing the shit out of any extra money you have. You'll have it made in your 50's if you do.

Answer me how many times you had to use calculus as a devops engineer smartass

(the answer is zero)

for me, in my company, in my position, almost never. but we provide on-prem/cloud data migration and syncing. our model isn't really based on any math; outside of our transfer planner and charting/content overview options. Even then, we mostly rely on the platform API to give us info about the user's data.

that said, there's lots of areas in development that would utilize math pretty heavily. certainly vector work (things like 3d rendering tools, game development, self-driving car technology, airplane control development, these types of things), modeling/analysis (like what Zaide is talking about above), prediction tools, AI (to some extent)... there's lots of work out there where it would be highly valuable and utilized. Certainly more so in physical development (think architecture).

So, the fact that my devOps position that mostly sees me building out and monitoring test and client hosted environments has little math application is not in fact representative of the larger picture.

this.

i didn't start until i was 28. Now I save $1100/mo between work-provided 401k and other investments. I wish I had both started my real career earlier, and started saving earlier. Even if just $1000/yr or something during school/f***-around jobs.

I don't think I'll be able to retire at 65, especially in the denver-metro area.

EVEN IF YOU HAD A NEW CAR YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE THE PROVINCE

YOU PASSED ON SEEING RAW AND LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE IN DRIVING DISTANCE

HECK, THE HABS PLAYED AT VIDEOTRON AND YOU WERE TOO CHEAP TO GO

f***

 

[John Price]

Saving money is dumb.

 

[LarryFisherman]

there you go

no need for the rest of the **** you wrote

yeah, we should definitely ignore the entirety of the discussion point to inflate the idea in your head from what is a minuscule sample size in the overall picture.

 

[John Price]

These cats tryna encourage Zaide to save his money and be a stingy cheap ass. No. You want to encourage him to actually spend money. The problem with people like @Zaide and @irunthepeg is that they're cheap and stingy as hell. They barely spend money. When I was in my 20's I was buying Caps and Nationals season ticket packages. I don't f***ing care.

 

[John Price]

Spending money stimulates the local economy. Being stingy and cheap is only hurting the economy and local businesses. Therefore by being cheap and saving your money, you are being extremely selfish.

You did not spend anything. Your parents did.

I feel so selfish not giving my money to big corporations whose CEO makes more money in a year than 5 average persons will ever make in their entire lives, combined.

That's what I'm doing/plan on doing.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

You can be sure I'm investing madly if there's a recession.

investing is for stingy cheapasses

being stingy and refusing to spend money is BAD

basic economics. Spend more to stimulate the local economy. I know money isn't your strong suit but it's not hard to comprehend.

Guess you won't be buying the Trish Stratus made in Canada shirt anytime soon. You make me sick. Love WWE but don't even buy the merch. Same thing with you and concerts. "Why should I go see Lights? She makes enough money." Because you love Lights? Go see Pvris too. "Why should I give Lynn my money."

Even @Hammettf2b attends Metallica concerts!!!

Investing is literally what drives the economy.

 

[John Price]

You're saving money for the FUTURE. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU NEED MONEY TO USE IN 2030 OR 2040. YOU'LL STILL BE WORKING.

DUMBASS.

That is NOT true.

Spending money at the mall drives local businesses. Since mall is dying, local economies are suffering.

Andrew Yang is out to save the American mall

Dubbed the American Mall Act, Yang’s policy would fund struggling malls with matching grants and tax incentives to the tune of $6 billion. Investing in and revitalizing dead malls doesn’t just mean bringing retail back; he’s also a big believer in transforming and repurposing malls into “[o]ffices, churches, indoor recreation spaces, anything we can do to keep these spaces vital and positive is an enormous win for the surrounding community,” reads his campaign site. Mall closures, Yang tweeted last month, “have a disastrous effect on local property values.”

Malls are dying, we know. At one time the US was home to 25,000 shopping centers, 2,000 of which loomed large as the classic enclosed variety that we picture when we talk about “the mall:” climate-controlled, multi-level, windowless and flanked on each end by well-lit department stores. There are just over 1,000 indoor American malls alive today, with analysts putting the number of mall closures within the next five years at between 20 and 25 percent.

A sector of the mall market manages to survive, and in fact thrives, as I reported for Racked in 2016: the luxury mall. According to data from real estate research firm Green Street Advisors, the nearly 300 malls graded A++ through A- in mall performance today — maintaining strong sales and top-tier tenants — account for 80 percent of overall mall value, while the nearly 400 lowest-performing malls maintain scant occupancy and account for less than 1 percent of mall value. Put another way: Hundreds of malls are doing very well, but more are not.

Investing is being cheap and hoarding your money to yourself. It's being selfish. The economy thrives when people like you stop being a cheapass and buy shit like sous vide machines from Canadian tire.

DUMBASS.

By investing, you allow companies to do more development and create new jobs.

Save the malls!!!
