00:17 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I have a Money Market account for the rent now. I figured it out and each year I lose about $30 interest while waiting on the landlord to cash the check.
00:17 DaemonFC; So now it really doesn't matter when he cashes it because the longer he waits, the more interest I earn.
00:17 DaemonFC; Assuming rates don't dive.
00:18 DaemonFC; The reason I never bothered with this is that at last year's rates it hardly mattered.
00:18 DaemonFC; It was like $6 maybe.
00:18 DaemonFC; I expect interest rates to be high for at least a couple of years.
00:19 DaemonFC; The Fed might slow down but I don't think they can stop.
00:19 DaemonFC; They're really torn over what to do about this. On one hand they don't want to expose the "rot in the floorboard". So they have to keep interest rates low enough that the banks don't visibly collapse.
00:19 DaemonFC; On the other side, they don't want hyperinflation.

00:20 DaemonFC; So they'll slow down for a while and assess what's happening with the banks and give the banks time to get used to this and get these low interest bonds off their books gracefully.
00:21 DaemonFC; I mean, it is what I would do. It's the only thing you can do considering that the Fed only really has a couple of tools and Congress is full of crooks and idiots who want to keep coming back to their district boasting of all the wasteful spending.
00:22 DaemonFC; The Democrats may as well agree to Kevin McCarthy's plan, much like it is.
00:23 DaemonFC; It will end up like the Budget Control Act in 2011 or the "emergency deficit law" in the mid 80s, or the one in 97 under Clinton.
00:23 TR News; The early days of Linux https://lwn.net/Articles/928581/
00:23 DaemonFC; I mean, they keep passing laws where it's like "This is it. We mean it this time!" and then the next year they're in there voting to ignore it "just for this year.
00:24 DaemonFC; I mean, the 1997 law "controls the growth of Medicare payments" and they've voted to ignore it 24 times.
00:24 TR News; "He was in a "Raspberry Pi phase" a year or so later and thought he could use that device to help in the search. He put up a block diagram of the Raspberry-Pi-based camera system that he built" https://lwn.net/Articles/928691/
00:24 DaemonFC; Because the thing is, you can say you passed a law that controls Medicare spending, but you can't make doctors take Medicare.
00:25 DaemonFC; And if they don't take Medicare, old people that vote are not going to be happy.
00:25 TR News; Seeking an acceptable unaccepted memory policy https://lwn.net/Articles/928328/
00:26 DaemonFC; You can pass a law that says anything, but can you live with it?
00:26 DaemonFC; And that answer when it comes to the deficit is always no.
00:27 DaemonFC; So McCarthy knows that if they pass it this year they'll vote to "delay it" next year.
00:27 DaemonFC; It's like writing down a household budget that balances out and then each month you make exceptions and the whole thing becomes pointless while you owe the banks more and more money.
00:27 DaemonFC; Like MARISOL.

01:37 DaemonFC; I was looking at a special tax rule that applies to my income.
01:37 DaemonFC; If I cut Mandy's pre-tax income by dumping $1,000 into a 401(k), it cuts $500 off mine too.
01:38 DaemonFC; So we save $150 directly in federal tax that year and $74.25 to STATE OF ILL.
01:38 DaemonFC; Even though our marginal rate is 10%, it cuts 15% of the top-line deduction in tax.
01:39 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Since it's a joint return, even though I would normally be prohibited from contributing to a Traditional IRA, I could open an account in my name.
01:39 DaemonFC; Stuff it full of CDs.
01:40 DaemonFC; Deduct it on top of the line.
01:40 DaemonFC; I wonder what GULAG's opinion of the IRA is.
01:40 DaemonFC; Traditional or Roth, that is.
01:40 DaemonFC; I'm guessing he's on the Roth IRA side of the fence. :)
01:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Is it scary I have to explain the difference in tax treatment on retirement accounts to my mother?
01:42 DaemonFC; I opted for the Walmart Vision Insurance this year.
01:42 DaemonFC; And some people might say "Isn't that just the same amount of money as two eye exams? Well, yes, and no. You also cut a $400 pair of eyeglasses down to $100, and each of us gets one per year.
01:43 DaemonFC; But even if it was just the exams and using VSP online somewhere, you come out ahead.
01:43 DaemonFC; Because the $142 in Employee+Spouse premiums are another top of the line deduction. They come out of pretax dollars.
01:43 DaemonFC; You really don't want your AGI going up if you can help it.

01:44 DaemonFC; If you can live on less take-home pay this year and load up on pretax insurance and retirement benefits, you're better off later on.
01:44 DaemonFC; Because instead of the IRS stealing your money, you have the insurance and the retirement accounts.
01:45 DaemonFC; Congress uses the tax code to incentivize and punish.

01:45 DaemonFC; If you don't do the thing, we sic the tax people on you.
01:45 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I was considering a Traditional IRA on RobinHood.
01:45 DaemonFC; I don't know though. That is an app I think.
01:46 DaemonFC; They have a small match. They throw in a penny for every dollar you put in the account.
01:47 DaemonFC; I'm with Buffett on one thing. Don't put your money in anything you don't fully understand.
01:48 DaemonFC; Those crypto people should have listened.
01:48 DaemonFC; While Bitcoin has "recovered" somewhat, think of all the people that doesn't matter to. They had $50,000 or something in Celsius and the exchange itself turned out to be a total scam.
01:49 DaemonFC; Nowhere else in the investment world do you run into anything like Crypto and NFTs.

01:51 DaemonFC; I don't get what Dogecoin even is, really. I mean, the thing was designed as a joke to hyperinflate itself basically forever.
01:51 DaemonFC; No matter how many you HODL, there will always be another block.
01:52 DaemonFC; And AFAIK, it doesn't get significantly harder to mine the next block because it was meant to be hyperinflationary.

02:50 DaemonFC; The NIH (federal government, Dr. Fauci) spent $2.3 million injecting adorable beagle puppies with cocaine and then killed the dogs.
02:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], ^
02:50 schestowitz[TR2]; not killing
02:51 schestowitz[TR2]; "putting to sleep"
02:51 DaemonFC; An interesting change of pace after the coke.
02:51 schestowitz[TR2]; many mass murderers torture and kill dogs
02:51 schestowitz[TR2]; before they do it to humans
02:52 schestowitz[TR2]; so the US government won't stop there
02:52 schestowitz[TR2]; "stop saying governments kill people; THAT IS CONSPIRACY THEORY"

02:59 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: told yoi about mastodon
02:59 schestowitz[TR2]; in a nutshell
02:59 schestowitz[TR2]; it's only "free" as long as the admin is on your side
03:00 schestowitz[TR2]; if you start your own and pay for it, other admins who don't like you will put you in blacklists
03:00 schestowitz[TR2]; mastodon or fediverse is an echo chamber
03:00 schestowitz[TR2]; sure, you can install it yourself and talk to yourself
03:00 schestowitz[TR2]; if you're into that kind of thing
03:01 schestowitz[TR2]; it was falsely advertised to many twitter esapees
03:02 schestowitz[TR2]; as the solution to a problem that it does not even solve

03:03 schestowitz[TR2]; these are not new issues
03:03 schestowitz[TR2]; in a society of alphamales and insecure people collaboration is not really possible
03:04 schestowitz[TR2]; only limited, in smaller groups
03:04 IPFS; IPFS local node stats (bandwidth since last reset) calculated.
03:04 schestowitz[TR2]; if you open up too much, you'll become pentagon stooge
03:04 schestowitz[TR2]; "bombing for peace..."
03:05 IPFS; New daily bulletin is now being generated and assembled.
03:05 schestowitz[TR2]; there are even tribes of money collectors
03:05 schestowitz[TR2]; they are usually male, old, and very pathological
03:05 schestowitz[TR2]; they'd starve millions to death if there is money in it
03:06 DaemonFC; Yeah, mom knew a man who died with hundreds of millions of dollars.
03:06 DaemonFC; He invested very well, sure, but like....He died with all that money.
03:06 DaemonFC; He never enjoyed most of it.
03:06 schestowitz[TR2]; what's the point?
03:06 DaemonFC; He was so frugal that his wife would yell at him for "rationing soap" in the bath.
03:06 DaemonFC; In the 90s when it was probably <10 cent a bar.
03:06 DaemonFC; And the guy had all this money.
03:06 schestowitz[TR2]; warped perspectives, promoted also in "social" "mecia"
03:07 DaemonFC; He died and we were going through his stolen ketchup packets from McDonalds.
03:07 DaemonFC; Now McDonalds hoards ketchup and decides how many you can have if you ask for some.
03:07 schestowitz[TR2]; lol
03:07 DaemonFC; You can run into the "Here's all the ketchup, fuck it." guy or the lady that gives you three packets for two large orders of fries.
03:07 schestowitz[TR2]; what you describe is a mental condition
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; he mind was not right
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; i know someone like this
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; collects money
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; and starves his family
03:08 DaemonFC; Seriously?
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; not literally starves
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; but empty fridge
03:08 DaemonFC; I figure out ways to put idle cash to work or get some credit card points.
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; so he can stockpile money
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; :for security"
03:08 DaemonFC; But I'm not THAT bad.
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a mental condition
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; some call it "sickness"
03:09 schestowitz[TR2]; it happens when you conflate bankl balance with quality of life
03:09 schestowitz[TR2]; or self-worth
03:09 schestowitz[TR2]; then you can pneumonia or something and die
03:09 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], As much as we drive, eat out, and go through groceries, car repairs, vacations, etc...
03:09 schestowitz[TR2]; or die early from work-induced stress
03:09 DaemonFC; I can get almost $1,000 in card points some years.
03:09 schestowitz[TR2]; so much for "security"...
03:09 DaemonFC; Think I'll say no to that?
03:10 DaemonFC; But we're not talking about hoarding cash while I won't let anyone take a bath.
03:10 DaemonFC; :P

03:10 TR Bot; Tux Machines today's leftovers
03:11 schestowitz[TR2]; fwiw, re bath:
03:11 schestowitz[TR2]; boath can save water and energy
03:11 DaemonFC; There's a difference between not wanting to pay more than you have to for a gallon of gas and not allowing anyone in the house to live their life.
03:11 schestowitz[TR2]; if you use soap right
03:12 schestowitz[TR2]; bath water can also be reuse for heating, but
03:12 DaemonFC; Mandy complained that it was hot and stuffy in here. We're getting into that time of the year where you can have 80 and 30 in the same week.
03:12 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a lot of steam, which is not good for a home
03:12 DaemonFC; He went to turn on the air conditioner. I stopped him and opened the window and got the fan going in it.
03:13 DaemonFC; That air conditioner is awful.
03:13 DaemonFC; It blows really cold air which is amazing for how old and bad looking it is.
03:13 DaemonFC; But man it uses power.
03:13 DaemonFC; Adds $5 a day to the electric all by itself.
03:14 DaemonFC; I'd rather not unless we have to.
03:14 schestowitz[TR2]; $150 a month
03:15 schestowitz[TR2]; more than our food bill, lol
03:15 schestowitz[TR2]; and you'd not want to pay this just for temperature control

05:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I've been sitting here going over the books.
05:30 DaemonFC; It's impossible to figure everything out but it looks like the absolute high end of the estimate for AGI assuming that it takes more than the current payroll cycle for the 401(k) change to kick in is a couple hundred in AGI under the threshold for the credit.
05:30 DaemonFC; If I have to make some minor adjustments, I could break all my CDs and put them into Checking where they won't earn any interest.
05:30 DaemonFC; Since it's not earned interest at that point, it's not taxable income.
05:31 DaemonFC; This is turning into a limbo to see how I can shave $1,000 off our tax bill.
05:31 DaemonFC; I'd rather let the bank keep a little money than send in $1,000 more to the IRS.
05:32 DaemonFC; I'll just keep ratcheting up Mandy's 401(k) as high as it needs to go to avoid paying them that extra $1,000.
05:32 DaemonFC; He could be working for another 30 years. This takes $30,000 or whatever they raise it to later out of the government's hands if I can just keep claiming it every year.
05:33 DaemonFC; I could pull all of it out when he's 59.5 and buy a house with it finally. At least we wouldn't have a landlord anymore.

15:52 matteobin; Not all of them. suckless software is the place to go
15:52 t0talist; well, suckless.org depends on GTK with their prime project too, which is dwm
15:53 matteobin; dwm does not depend on GTK
15:53 matteobin; It depends on X11
15:53 t0talist; i moved away from X11 entirely, on my development box, and picked dvtm (which too is listed at suckless.org as a goody)
15:53 t0talist; matteobin: are you certain?

15:55 t0talist; just checked the ebuild; fontconfig is a little problematic regardless
15:55 matteobin; I can live with a bit of bloat. Humans produce bloat. suckless software helps me mantain the right balance
15:56 matteobin; Why?
15:56 t0talist; matteobin: i have to check the ebuilds; little while ago i tracked the whole dependency graph, and had to rollback to a deprecated fontconfig version
15:57 t0talist; and fontconfig itself requires some c++
15:57 matteobin; What is ebuilds?
15:57 matteobin; C++ sucks a bit! :D
15:57 t0talist; ebuilds are the gentoo package declaration
15:57 matteobin; But I've used it
15:57 matteobin; I didn't know that, I'm a Debian guy
15:58 matteobin; Do you use Gentoo then?
15:58 t0talist; well, i try to avoid c++ entirely; on my development box there is not a single line of c++ dependency remaining anywhere
15:58 matteobin; I guess you don't play games :D
15:58 matteobin; Nor do you work on them
15:58 t0talist; matteobin: yes, i worked with gentoo tooling, but heavily forked already because alot of the stuff i need is gone or unmaintained or absent inside their repositories
15:59 t0talist; matteobin: i only maintained some local ebuilds, for older versions of prboom for example, to remove all c++ dependencies from it
15:59 matteobin; Sorry, I mean that you don't work on games. It was badly written
15:59 matteobin; *meant
15:59 t0talist; some of the old libsdl1 games are available still, as a showcase
16:00 matteobin; Yes, you can have games written in C
16:00 t0talist; no, i am not a game developer, i only patched some a little, to keep them inside my tree
16:00 matteobin; But, for instance, I use ScummVM a lot, which is written in C++. Alas!
16:01 t0talist; it's not only the window-manager itself, it's too all build-time dependencies which i wanted to keep 100% sanitized, no-c++
16:01 t0talist; that's why, i had to roll-back to an old gcc-version; and too i am working on a tcc-toolchain profile

16:02 t0talist; besides, catgirl irc client seems the best
16:02 matteobin; Do you have a link?

16:03 t0talist; you too may consider linking against bearssl with catgirl irc

16:04 t0talist; depends
16:05 matteobin; Please explain
16:05 t0talist; it is just, easily maintained, statically linked, and relatively secure
16:05 matteobin; So it's great. Right?
16:05 t0talist; matteobin: well, with catgirl irc client, at minimum you should consider a decent terminal multiplexer
16:05 t0talist; i chose dvtm (instead of tmux), for similar reasons i prefer catgirl irc client
16:06 t0talist; matteobin: for the use-case and for what it is, catgirl is the best irc client available
16:06 t0talist; the developer too implemented a bouncer based on catgirl
16:06 matteobin; You mean you need a multiplexer to have more chat?
16:07 matteobin; You could always have more terminal windows with dwm or something like that, if you use X11
16:07 matteobin; Do you use X11? :D
16:07 t0talist; no, i mean catgirl irc client doesn't duplicate terminal-multiplexing within; meaning for each server/network-connection you need a separate instance
16:07 matteobin; Got it, thanks
16:07 t0talist; matteobin: no, i removed X11 entirely from my development box
16:08 matteobin; Do you just TTY?
16:08 t0talist; well, i rolled-back to BSD-style pty even, insteads of *nix98 pty ;)
16:08 t0talist; i don't trust the TTY-code inside linux kernel
16:09 matteobin; What are BSD-style pty?
16:09 t0talist; matteobin: man tty
16:09 t0talist; difference is, the old BSD-style pty are administered differently, with different naming scheme, and static ownership/permission
16:10 t0talist; which i prefer to handle myself, instead of trusting linux-kernel doing it
16:10 matteobin; But they look like the Linux tty?
16:10 t0talist; matteobin: typo, $ man pty ; explains it
16:10 matteobin; The ones available with CTRL+ALT+{NUM}
16:10 matteobin; Sorry
16:11 t0talist; with ctrl+alt+num you can switch real tty
16:11 t0talist; with a terminal multiplexer, you do need pseudo terminals
16:11 matteobin; Got it, once I've used tmux
16:12 t0talist; tmux is rather good, although i prefer dvtm, because the latter is smaller in size
16:12 t0talist; and easier to hack on
16:12 t0talist; such as sixel-passthrough support, BSD-style pseudo-terminal handling support... that's two minor patches
16:12 matteobin; How do you print? On paper, I mean
16:13 t0talist; i combined dvtm with yaft, which provides a pixel buffer to handle those sixels
16:13 MinceR; > multiple network connections are a duplication of terminal multiplexing
16:13 MinceR; ok.
16:13 t0talist; matteobin: i only retained/maintain the old *nix printing with 9pin/24pin matrix plotters
16:14 matteobin; You are REALLY hardcore!
16:14 t0talist; cups and similar is, well, i throw it in the same bag as systemd and all the other clutter
16:14 matteobin; You are my here!
16:14 matteobin; *hero
16:14 t0talist; matteobin: no, that's more traditional unix
16:14 matteobin; I want to be like you! :D
16:14 matteobin; Traditional UNIX is hardcore
16:15 t0talist; no, it's much easier to develop with
16:15 t0talist; however, there is much less attention and maintenance for this
16:15 matteobin; What do you develop for?
16:15 t0talist; suckless.org is one such tiny fringe niche
16:15 t0talist; matteobin: currently, i am working on full tcc-toolchain support
16:16 t0talist; to dispose gnu-toolchain entirely one day
16:16 matteobin; Do you get paied to do this?
16:16 t0talist; i am still having problems there, with some bootloader/assembly parts
16:16 matteobin; How can I install your system?
16:16 t0talist; matteobin: no, i haven't received my salary for almost 20years
16:16 t0talist; matteobin: my system doesn't require "installation"
16:17 matteobin; How can I get a system like yours?
16:17 t0talist; i only create firmware.img (for some specific rock64 arm device), and an amd64.iso "live" system
16:17 t0talist; the idea is, zero-config, no installation, nothing like this
16:17 t0talist; and instead, making it easy to develop, and create an own firmware by yourself, 100% from source
16:17 t0talist; with a clean bootstrapping
16:18 t0talist; besides #suckless, there is interesting hackers in #bootstrappable channel too

19:52 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I figure there's less risk in bonds right now.
19:53 DaemonFC; The Fed raised rates fast and hard already, and others took a 16% loss in this fund vs. its heights last year.
19:53 DaemonFC; If companies or individuals file bankruptcy, bondholders get paid what the bankruptcy court can raise while the shareholders usually get a few cents if anything at all.
19:54 DaemonFC; If companies start losing profits and declaring that and it scares the stockholders away, and the shares crash, the company still owes its debts.
19:55 DaemonFC; So there's more upside in bonds right now, I think.
19:56 DaemonFC; I see it as taking money off the table.
19:56 DaemonFC; If the stock market crashes, I may reverse course and buy in at a cheaper price.
19:56 DaemonFC; They tell you to stay the course no matter what's going on, but I've never made any serious money doing that.
19:57 DaemonFC; The years where you get 15-20% returns on your funds are the ones where you see what's going on in the markets.
19:58 DaemonFC; I think our landlord sees us as a known factor. He's been renewing our lease at relatively favorable terms compared to the other options.
19:59 DaemonFC; That makes him smarter than some I've dealt with.
19:59 DaemonFC; They create a lot of work for themselves with turnover by getting greedy, pushing out paying tenants, and then they don't know what they have.
19:59 DaemonFC; I've kept a look at Joy's apartments in Chicago and she never keeps tenants more than a year or two.
20:00 DaemonFC; Nobody can stand her. They sign a lease going oh this is a good price and then she ups it 40% on them next year.
20:01 DaemonFC; Joy was telling me what a hard time she had renting to Loyola University students.
20:02 DaemonFC; Because "They all get student loans but they have no income so I can't rent to them."
20:02 DaemonFC; I was thinking "You own the building. You can rent it to whoever you want. Make them put up the deposit and the entire rent due on the lease if they can afford it and then you have their money."
20:06 DaemonFC; So after she started inviting herself over/in every day, I started telling John the warden stopped by again.

20:09 DaemonFC; I don't think we're talking early 1980s Fed Funds Rate.
20:09 DaemonFC; I think they'll slow it down and it'll end the year maybe half a point higher than it is now, maybe.
20:10 DaemonFC; If they have to start slashing though, imagine those returns on the bond fund I just bought.
20:10 DaemonFC; Rates collapse to zero again because the stock market falls over.

20:37 TR Bot; Why Stocks, Not Bonds, Should Still Power Your Portfolio - SmartAsset
20:37 DaemonFC; It's not smart to have a lot of money in the stock market when you're getting close to retirement or retired.
20:37 DaemonFC; Your goal is to preserve what you've earned, not gamble.
20:38 DaemonFC; Generally shit falls over when you get greedy.
20:39 DaemonFC; The major feature of a 401(k) in a time of low market returns is the employer match and whatever tax benefits it reaps that year.
20:39 DaemonFC; In other words, you may not really earn much of anything that year, but at least your taxes will be lower.
20:39 DaemonFC; The goal of a pretax fund is to optimize your level of taxation throughout your life.
20:40 DaemonFC; Instead of having a lot of working years with a high tax bill, you can shove money into this account and get your taxes down.
20:40 DaemonFC; Then when you retire, you draw it back out again in a staggered fashion, again to avoid high tax bills.
20:40 DaemonFC; You have between age 59.5 and 72.5 before you must take MINIMUM distributions.
20:41 DaemonFC; So if you retire at 66 or 67, you still have several years to stage withdrawals out to make sure you don't end up in higher tax brackets.

20:46 DaemonFC; It's easy to find No Penalty ones that are 11 months duration that are well over 4%.
20:47 DaemonFC; It's always better to have the liquidity of all your money being available than it is to take another quarter point in interest and then find that you're having to break into the CDs earlier than you planned and pay the bank 60 or 90 days interest back.
20:47 DaemonFC; Unless you just have SO MUCH money that it's impossible to need that amount for the duration.
20:47 DaemonFC; In this environment, where people are putting groceries on installment plans, not very many people can say this.
20:47 DaemonFC; But if you have some savings, you need to earn something on it.

21:51 DaemonFC; So I can dump this all back out when Mandy turns 59.5 in early 2045.
21:51 DaemonFC; Without paying the IRS any penalties.
21:52 DaemonFC; So the 2045 tax year would be the year to start pulling a "Shawshank Redemption" on the 401(k).
21:52 DaemonFC; You slip it all out a little at a time so you can stay at the lowest bracket each year.
21:53 DaemonFC; But it all goes into your bank accounts where you can put it in CDs or something.
21:53 DaemonFC; Then I have 12 years to finish doing that, and the IRS can't ever make him take RMDs and tax any of it at a higher rate.
21:54 DaemonFC; The other option would be to buy a retirement annuity with it.
21:54 DaemonFC; Which I'd seriously consider.
21:55 DaemonFC; It guarantees that you get a certain amount deposited each month for the rest of your life, and you can add-on (for an additional expense) either a balloon payment to your spouse or a stipulation that your spouse inherits the annuity and it pays them until they die.
21:56 DaemonFC; 401(k) accounts are also "untouchable" to a bankruptcy trustee if you end up going bust.
21:56 DaemonFC; So the more money you have in one, I mean, it's off limits.
21:57 DaemonFC; The Bankruptcy statute isn't trying to drain people's retirement accounts because that would create a big damn problem for the government later.
21:58 DaemonFC; Mom's bankruptcy attorney said no they can't touch it but it doesn't look good if you file bankruptcy and you had a lot of money coming out of your paycheck going into the 401(k) in the months leading up to it.
21:59 DaemonFC; If you're going bust and all of a sudden you start throwing half your paycheck in the 401(k), the Trustee is going to be angry.
21:59 DaemonFC; That's considered "abusive" because you're, at that point, asking the court to wipe out your debts after making it obvious that you're trying to stash money away from the bankruptcy estate.
22:01 DaemonFC; If you take it down to the level your employer will match, you'd have an argument that you're just trying to save a modest amount and get the match and you weren't trying to shove half your paycheck in there so nobody could get any money out of your estate.
22:02 DaemonFC; There's a case to be made for maxing out a 401(k), if you can afford to. For most workers, I think the IRS allows something like $20,000 a year.
22:02 DaemonFC; If you're pulling in $100,000 you have no excuse to not put $20,000 into a 401(k).
22:03 DaemonFC; If you make under $50,000 then you should put in a minimum of the maximum your employer will match and whatever else you can.
22:04 DaemonFC; You should build up a savings of at least 6 months expenses and then invest in your 401(k) before you invest in anything else outside of it.
22:04 DaemonFC; I think it's good that more states are mandating 401(k) accounts with an employer match and auto-sign ups.
22:05 DaemonFC; But it shouldn't be in any account "owned" or "managed" by the state.
22:05 DaemonFC; If it is, you should opt-out of it and put the money in a Traditional IRA at a private-sector institution that is reputable.
22:06 DaemonFC; Do you REALLY want STATE OF ILL with your retirement money when it can't even pay its own bills and its pension funds for state workers have 16 cents for every $1 in obligations?
22:06 DaemonFC; They'll confiscate your funds to solve their problems later. I guarantee it.
22:06 DaemonFC; That's why they're passing these laws.
22:07 DaemonFC; Because they'll move money from the younger workers in the private sector who don't even understand what's going on into the unfunded pensions for state employees, and they'll pay them and then say you don't get anything and they're the government so you can't do anything to them.
22:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Like Sirius only worse.
22:08 immibis; DaemonFC: stock market is a ponzi scheme FYI
22:08 DaemonFC; Yes, I just executed a sell order for the S&P 500 ETF. Sold all of it.

22:11 DaemonFC; The bond market was "taking a breather" and retreating due to the Fed Hikes.
22:11 DaemonFC; But I don't think further hikes are sustainable and the Fund will eventually retire all these bonds that other investors already lost money on.
22:11 DaemonFC; And they will buy new ones locking in that higher interest for long durations.
22:12 DaemonFC; If other people realized the loss during the panic sell, why shouldn't I buy?
22:14 DaemonFC; The fund has $88.151 billion in assets. The Walmart Fund has less obviously.
22:14 DaemonFC; The terrific news is that the Walmart fund that replicates this fund actually lost more.
22:14 DaemonFC; About 16% over the last year.
22:14 DaemonFC; I think we're undervalued now.
22:14 DaemonFC; I'd rather buy into something that has a substantial upside.
22:15 DaemonFC; The return on the bonds themselves are tepid right now, but the value of the fund will right-size and end up about where it was last year again.
22:15 DaemonFC; So I can either wait for this or a stock market crash.
22:19 DaemonFC; This is the first time since 2003 (fund inception) where I think there's been a significant dip in the index price, to warrant buying in just because of the dip.
