If I have $250k in shares I can also use that as collateral for a mortgage to buy a house. It would be pretty odd and problematic to be taxed on that like it’s income when it’s not, despite me spending it on a house…because I need to pay it back.

I agree with the rest though. And definitely would love to see 90% for anyone reporting extremely high incomes.

Physical addiction is a stretch

Contrary to popular belief, violence actually is the solution in some situations.

Perhaps not this one and there could be an interesting discussion around that, but I fucking hate the idea that violence is never a solution when it absolutely is sometimes.

I still think anyone can do that, just on a smaller scale. Either way, sounds risky. Stocks sometimes go down as it turns out.

Canada. All of the banks I applied at asked for total assets, including TD and Scotiabank.

I’ve never made 6 figures before, but was asked to show my investment portfolio value when applying for a mortgage as it was part of my assets. Assets the bank could seize if I didn’t pay my bill.

TIL I’m the 1%.

Do you think you are disagreeing with me?

This only sounds bad for people with a love of beer and donuts.

Admittedly, I am included within that group. But if I wasn’t, I could see supporting such variable rates.

Physical - dry socket

Emotional - nawww I’m good lol

I’m going to use this next time I don’t tip

And that’s why boomers are constantly ‘hacked’.

If you don’t want someone else controlling those things, you do indeed need an account. If you are fine with a physical switch to control lights then just stick to that.

It’s not 60 for everyone, but it is for some. Everyone has vastly different lived experiences dictating their ‘choices’ of which page.

So yeah, behavioural psych-ish.

“Welcome to page 60! Just as anticipated, your rebellious nature resulting from your lived experiences left you no choice but to rebel against the rules of the book and pick this page.”

While low risk, I think index investing still counts as gambling. The house maybe too.

Depreciating investments like a car should be ok though.

Beans are delicious. Potatoes/fries are also delicious. They are in no way comparable forms of deliciousness.

That would be like trying to replace my love of alpine skiing with gothic literature.

I really want someone to sell legit butter but marketed as ‘I can’t believe it’s not margarine!’

Race car drivers definitely don’t put both feet on the gas pedal though… Like, what?

No one in their right mind would disagree with your position.

Just like it’s not popular in Alaska…
