Why would someone desire a pension instead of a 401k? in c/[email protected]

Thanks. The android keyboard ruins my life.

I put a good chunk of my 401k in CDs.

Edit:

It's less than an 8th of my fund, just because I don't like where the market is sitting right now, I'm keeping something secure in case something bad happens to me while something bad happens to the world.

My point was to respond to someone who is morally opposed to stocks. There are other ways to go about it (irrespective of good advice).

It seems to me that the employer will fund it either way. Maybe I'm misremembering stories of pensions being mismanaged and lost. I think the most important thing is that the employer actually does something to fund a retirement, in my way of thinking the 401k approach puts me in control of the money so I don't rely on someone else to not fail.

Whether it's promised bonuses, stocks, or retirement funds, my motto is always "show me the money", and I'll believe it when it's in my hands.

Take what you can't afford, support what you can, share if you dare, and do not trade for money.

I had my first ride on a motorbike the other day, It was scary but exciting at the same time. Really want to get my CBT & my own bike in the future in c/[email protected]

Get obsessed with learning new ways to be safe. It's more fun than it sounds like, I think doing a great job being in traffic and choosing the right way to control your bike is a really rewarding path. And the safer you are the longer you get to ride.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Hardware and platforms are just for running software on, pick what works for you!

I hate doing my bedding too.

Actually I don't even hate it, I just never think of it. It never seems to force me to think about it like other dirty things do.

May I ask what kind of tool you use for the automated checklist?

What's your cadence for maintenance? Is there anything you think you should be doing more frequently? Is there anything you do extra proactively because you don't like seeing it left undone?

I'm also curious about how much time you spend taking care of your home and how that balances with the rest of your personal life, and how you share the load with other people you live with.

A friendship built on a foundation of egocentric manipulation? No thank you.

Feel free to be economic with the truth by using aliases for organizations and products wherever it protects your privacy or your contracts. I'm mainly interested to hear about your unique experience.

Example follow-up questions: What was most rewarding, what was not? What was not a great use of your time but maybe still a learning experience? What were you interested when you were younger (for hobbies or otherwise) that may have helped guide you?
