Where should people learn about saving for retirement? Ideally everyone would have two loving teaching parents, but obviously some children get shorted on that end.

Bush43 had the best idea, let people self direct 2% of the 15% that goes to FICA. It could not be allowed to go forward because it would put wealth in the hands of too many minorities who could then transfer it to the next generation. Though it was his fault for not explaining the plan over and over, he just let the left wing tear it to pieces. I remember just a couple years ago talking with a guy about it. He hated it, but after I calmed him down and explained it he was like, "wait, that is a great idea!"

My brother has three kids all under 10 and he managed to start IRAs for them so they have a real head start.

I think I was born in the right notch to get it. I saw people lose pensions when I was a kid. Hundreds of thousands. People who do not remember the formation of the rust belt will not get that. If you only saw the plenty of the mid 80s and 1990s you will not get it.

Gas is up fifty cents? Don't thank me, thank a Biden voter.

And so it begins. Gone up 40 cents
in the last 3 weeks.

The gas creep is on, creeping ever
upwards. Up over 50 cents in Feb
so far.

In San Diego
Was at a stoplight
2 gas stations across the street from each other
with
a 30 cent difference
I have never seen that big of a difference in prices across the street from one another
3.99 a gallon vs 3.69 a gallon

Is that for ‘regular’? It is up to $2.49 here. Was probably $0.30 less until the pipeline announcement.

In Las Vegas I worked for a company that had about 150 gas station and convenience stores. Our prices were regularly 20 cents to 40 cents higher than the independent stores which I thought was crazy. At the same time, they were the busiest gas stations in town. Why lower the price if the patrons are still coming in hoards.

Oil and gas prices will continue to rise. Producers were forced to add debt and slash capital expenditures, by tens of billions last year, due to declining revenues. This means less oil and gas production, just in time for the post Covid boom.
