  • You can also do target date funds. Each one indicates the projected year you expect to retire. As you get older, it shifts more to safer investments like bonds. The idea is invest in the stock market when you are young and don’t expect to use the money soon. You are able to hold through downturns in the market and returns have historically always trended up despite the occasional drops. When you are near retirement and expect to be using the money you can’t always afford to wait it out so you should invest in things that are more stable but have lower returns like bonds. Target dates have slightly higher fees and you should always check what the fees are before you invest, but they are very set it and forget it.





  • I know how obnoxious ads have become on the internet and I’ve seen how they have progressively gotten longer and more prevalent on YouTube but I don’t really know how to feel about this. Conceptually, they are handling and storing so much video data their operating costs must be astronomical. As far as I know, advertisement is the main way they recoup any of that cost so I can’t really blame them for this. Maybe they are just reaching a point where they are just too massive to work.
