Good financial rule: 6 to 12 months standard of living in reserves. My clients all have it.
Serious question. What percentage of American workers can set aside a year in reserve?

I'm guessing not that many.

Doesn't change the point. I heard this same advice back in the 1980s, given to an audience literally living paycheck to paycheck.

It's bad advice, taunting even, unless you work with people to show how they can do that.

Most financial advisors are con men, and no better.

Yep, sadly savings are at an all time low thanks to inflation. People's salaries can't keep up. Lot harder to build up today than it was 5 years ago.

Worse, a lot of people no longer believe it's even possible to survive under these economic conditions.

A big part of any recovery is confidence by the nation in the solution.

yes they are con men, just like "private wealth advisers". Fees are ridiculous. just learn how to invest your money, yourself.

So I must have missed that there is a memo that has frozen all money for grants to everything including universities which means all grant funded research might be coming to a halt soon. Not just DEI stuff but everything. But I can't find any good source that explains it without it getting into the political weeds. Anyone have a good link for an explanation of this.

90 days pause so they can review all the grants and see what is being funded.

There is a lot of LGTBQ+, DEI, Social engineering stuff in the grants

After 90 days the grants for basic university research will be freed up.

And the other stuff hopefully axed


The problem is that during those 90 days the people who are paid through grant money are NOT going to get a paycheck.


Yea there will be pains

I guess Academia should not have jumped all in on the bandwagon of racist, biased, and politically extreme ideology.

Now other grants have to suffer because of that choice the universities made.

They laid down with dogs….and have now gotten up with fleas


Pains???

Wow.

People not receiving paychecks is not pains.

That is such a dismissive attitude to have.

Someone in a department that had/has nothing to do with the DEI crap doesn't deserve anything like this.

Your claim is on par with claiming that since the board of Costco is clinging to DEI the cashier that loses their job because of it "deserves it."




I have been let go and not had a job or any way to pay for rent or groceries. And at the time I had a wife and child to feed. Talk about stressful as heck.

Spare me

We are talking a 90 day pause in funding so we can figure out what is going on and how much money has been funneled into radical DEI, LGBTQ, & other Leftist activist nonsense.

In 12 weeks let's check back

Until then let's calm down


So have I. So yes to me it is not a "pain." But something much larger.

The problem is that these are NOT DEI grants that are paused. All grants.


So medical research has paused. Research about issues in rural America. Research about any other issue that has nothing to do with race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. has been paused.

This isn't just a review of DEI but right now is a blanket pause on all funding.

So no I will not "calm down" because this is just flat wrong. Pause the DEI nonsense, but not the others. If after review it is found that some research that isn't DEI is actually DEI then shut it down at that time. But to pause all funding just to get at one wrong thing is bad.



It looks like today they pulled the memo back anyway


I still think we need a long term top to bottom review if the entire Federal grant process


I agree a review is needed but then when a grant is found to be wasteful, going to a bad cause, DEI crap, etc. set a deadline for it to end not an immediate drop of it.


This way they went about it caused a lot of people who thought their research and grant had nothing to do with DEI or even remotely close scrambling to figure out if they still had a job, would get paid, could finish their research/dissertation.

Hard to do for a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck.

Just like saving for a down payment for a house for a lot of people which is why people under 50 have bought houses later in life than the previous generations.

Very true.

Just like the save for a house down payment, save for retirement, etc. talk.

When you are young, living paycheck to paycheck, rent is crazy high (plus pet fee, first and last month, security deposit), etc putting money in a savings account, IRA etc isn't possible.

CNN did (as usual) outdraw MSNBC among adults 25-54 for the month, averaging 80,000 such viewers for the full day and 118,000 in primetime to MSNBC's 45,000 and 63,000. Fox News was again far ahead with 253,000 adults 25-54 for the full day and 353,000 in prime.

The graphic says that is an average daily rate. So at that pace in a year there would be about 350,000 arrests. I'm not sure it the plan is to ramp up daily numbers even more.

They will have to ramp up those numbers if we are going to deport 10 million or more. It will be helped as many illegals will self deport but those numbers might be small.

Our new Press Secretary is cute! 27 yoa blonde. She handled the Press pretty dang well for such a young one


She's not bad. JR would be agreeing with you... but you know, she's not a dude in chicks clothing.
you are creepy too
Ikr? Guys that like attractive women are such weirdos. Guessing you prefer those 'things' Biden had parading around?
has nothing to do with dudes digging chicks. Has to do with Assclownassin fascination with Melania and this girls who could be his granddaughter. We call that creepy where I come from. Your defense makes you creepy, pal. Maybe you should spend more time with that horn you bribed to marry you.
Geez. Straight guys really upset you.
Ha! JR does seem to be obsessed with me. It's very strange.
no , not obsessed with you but find your blatant creepiness of an old ass man fawning over a 27yr old that could be your old man granddaughter, gives one pause.
Ah.. I figured it out. JR is a woke female. Who else would worry about calling a very lovely lady "cute" or Melania "beautiful"? It doesn't fit anyone else, the only type of folk that would ever say that.

Bet she is wearing her pink *****cat hat right now.

Test, see if she passes;

"Kristi Noem is hot!"

And she is definitely smoking hot.

But if I am now 'gay'…..must make me entitled to shoot hogs with a rifle instead of a bow.
