[quote=Anonymous]It's funny -- personal finance is really so simple. And yet, so many people f*** it up. I get that there are people in true hardship -- single moms, the working poor, etc. I have sympathy for those people and I think our social safety net should come to their aid. But people who are earning $100k plus (even in a HCOL area like DC), who can't seem to get ahead, just baffle me. It's really not rocket science. Live below your means, save a [u]minimum[/u] of 15% of your income, invest early and often, don't try to time the market, don't bear too much or too little risk in your investments, and stay the course. Do that for a couple decades and you will be golden. The end.[/quote]
