Actually had a job where surfing the Internet was required. The main job was handling Help Desk calls, but during lulls in activity the boss wanted us to do some Internet surfing – that was a way to verify that the company’s connectivity was working. Of course, some slackers interpreted that to mean that they were supposed to do nothing but surf the Internet all day…
If Trump makes good on his promise "In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.” there may not be a #48…
I don’t have enough time or interest to put in the effort that investment requires to be done right, but we have found this new broker to be really good. He was recommended by friends who had been using him for several years (before us) and he has done well for them, too. Best thing about the new guy is that he actually listens to us, and adjusts his recommendations as well as explains his reasoning. Although we like his suggestions, we do research them and keep aware of results – we don’t just blindly do what the broker says. The result: despite using a conservative approach with both brokerages, within ten years we went from “you’ll never be able to retire” to “you can retire early if you want to”.
