Would you like a socialist society? Do you want a welfare state? I don't. Why shouldn't some people be able to afford luxuries like names on buildings?

If something is going to have an effect on profits, you can bet on the fact that a company will fight against it, hard. Because SHOCKER the point of a business is to generate PROFITS . I think you're wrong in thinking that businesse

Most people get wealthy by working for other people. Depending on what you call wealthy. 1-2M in investment accounts and a paid off home is very affluent/wealthy to me. Also, to say those people aren't creating wealth is very offe

That's completely wrong. Invest in a mutual fund monthly and you'll be amazed by the power of compound interest.

Mid and lower class people can definitely get rich by saving. Of course their savings don't add up to millions, but you're completely disregarding the returns of a decent mutual fund. At 4-7% real returns, the amount they have aft

I can't believe people on a forum such as this are completely financially illiterate. The 7% rate is already inflation adjusted. The nominal rate is about 10%. So plug in a 7% real return. The result will be in 2015 dollars.

Can you explain how the "maths just don't work out"? I'm pretty sure saving IS the way to wealth for the overwhelming majority of people. This honestly sounds like it's straight from one of the Facebook posts with c

If you can always find a job and have side projects to fall back on, I don't see the point. However, if you imagine yourself taking a shot at climbing the corporate ladder at a huge company, a degree is absolutely essential. I also hav

A lot of them sell for much less than (monthly revenue) * 12. I haven't personally purchased a site from there, but I know people who have. You don't need to buy something from there -- you can simply use the site to find niches w

Idea for anyone interested in starting something that supports just you: visit Flippa.com. Sort by revenue. Save up, and buy something on there that you can grow from $500/mo in revenue to $1000/mo, then to $2000/mo, etc. The

That makes sense. I do want to make sure I'm not just memorizing strategies though. I want to be able to figure things out independently, with my own logical thought. I'll continue learning. Getting problems right and watching tho

It feels like cheating though. Once you ask someone for help, the problem is dead. You haven't solved it yourself, and now even if you do solve it, it won't count. Someone told you how to do it. Your interviewer isn't going t

I see a lot of people that can do things much better, and faster than me. It's intimidating. There are also some problems that I can't even solve in pseudo code. I literally just can't come up with an algorithm that would wor

I'm definitely not obsessed with programming. I can force myself to practice regularly, though. All it takes is discipline. I wouldn't pursue it if it wasn't lucrative; that'd be irrational. But I'm not interested i

It's hard to say. Would I rather watch a TV show than solve a brain teaser? Yes. But I can replace "solve a brain teaser," with just about anything there. I'm not lazy, I can work, but I'd be lying if I said I enjoy
