  • You’re right I don’t know wtf these guys are yelling at you for.

    Investing 5% of a paycheck is the same regardless of the absolute value of money you invest. It will be just as impactful if the % is the same.

    I did some math and if I invested a fraction of my paycheck since I started working, that money would have amounted to several months of the work i was doing at the beginning by now, but I didn’t, because I was stupid and had no clue investing is so easy these days.





  • Yea, nah, it absolutely is. They often sneak in bad information and poorly interpreted data to fearmonger (see their nuclear power “educational” videos where they instill fear) and other such things. They’re just like some other science channels. Like veritasium, which shilled out for Waymo. Just because the animations are very very nice doesn’t mean you shouldn’t confirm the information they present, and quite often it’s wrong on purpose to butter up the right people. If you don’t believe me, that’s okay. They’re not dangerous like pseudoscience channels. Most things they present are good. I just hate that they mix in BS.
