15 days agoI like my privacy and all that, but I would never let it get in the way of investing. When you’re old, broke, on the verge of being homeless, eating low-grade ramen noodles for every meal, are you going to say “At least I kept my privacy intact!”? F— that.
As with any business/industry, if a company limits you to a certain platform (like phone apps), find a different company. There are plenty of competitors out there.
Personally, I would go the S&P 500 mutual fund route. It’s too easy, and it beats most other investments out there. But if you’re determined to go the DIY route, you do you.
TL/DR: I do everything on my desktop. I can check my accounts from my phone, but it’s not required for anything.
I acknowledge there are lots of regional differences, but that is absolutely not a large fries here in the southern US. Here, a medium(regular) fries comes in a cardboard envelope style container and they overfill it so there are fries all over the bag.
They do it to make us feel like we are getting our money’s worth, but in reality, potatoes are cheap as shit for them. Here, a large McDonald’s fries is almost a meal in itself. Eating a supersized McD’s meal here is almost enough to make you throw up.
