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.

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.

48 years old, currently have no investments. My net worth is my car and the clothes on my back, and I don't ever want to be in this situation again.

(Edit: I don't need to buy a house or anything whatsoever related to a house, so please don't mention the "h" word in your response, it's triggering me for tangential reasons. Let me be clear, I will NEVER care about real estate whatsoever, mmmkay? Just trust me when I say I have a roof over my head and it's completely paid off, no property taxes, and No, I will never sell it, so the whole h-word" aspect of life is not a concern for me, k?)

Just looking for guidance where to invest this relatively small amount of money every month so in a few years when I'm older & frailer I'll have enough for retirement. I don't want it to just sit in my bank account, I want it to grow.

For reference, I've been living on approx $1500 per month for as long as I've noticed, so I don't need much per month, and the sooner I die, the less retirement fund I'll need, but we can never predict when anyone's death will happen, so let's assume I'll live to 100 because I'm ridiculously healthy & an exceptionally good driver, never been in an accident, one speeding ticket in my entire life, no social life so I never get into risky situations, so let's just plan for the possibility I'm going to live another 50 years.

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.

You can buy anything you want with a gift card. Whatever you choose to buy, that's your gift. But no matter what you do, you're never gonna get butter out of a butterfly.

I'm curious, why would that stuff be passed around for free? My first thought was conspiracy-theory like nefarious suppliers want to addict & ruin & eradicate the homeless population, and doing it via addictive pleasures would be an indirect innocuous-seeming way to do it. Watching the homeless population drop like flies: "THeY DiD iT tO tHeMsELvEs!"

Sounds like estimation of a best case scenario. If I was in one of those cars I would definitely say "no." I don't even look at those median grifters. And if they did climb onto the hood of my vehicle and start washing my windshield without my consent, there would be hell for them to pay.

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?

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.
