I think your math is off but I don't have time to work it out. It seems like the top 4 could conceivably have less than 2.2 million jobs between them. Your math appears to leave nothing for the other 46 states which is not the intent of that statement. The other 46 just added less than 113,500 each but the majority o...

No. An employer is legally obliged to deduct taxes from your pay cheque and send them to the IRS. The only way round that is to either provide evidence of deductions that would reduce your tax bill to nothing, or to become self-employed.

"Two reasons: Many people make lots of financial decisions (and other kinds of decisions) without actually running any numbers to see what is best (or even possible). They just go with their gut and buy things they feel like buying, without making a thoroughgoing attempt to assess the impact on their finances. I shar...

Just to offer another alternative, consider Certificates of Deposit (CDs) at an FDIC insured bank or credit union for small or short-term investments. If you don't need access to the money, as stated, and are not willing to take much risk, you could put money into a number of CDs instead of investing it in stocks, or j...

You only OWN a 217-foot yacht as an investment. If you want to yacht, ~~lease~~ rent. If you own one you're going to ~~lease~~ rent it out anyway unless you intend to use it as your home and I think you're likely to get tired of that pretty soon. Otherwise you're just tying up capital stupidly.

Why do people buy them when they would be cheap to make for themselves? Convenience.

Okay bad decisions, time to move on: Then move on with your life and don't fall for this kind of thing again. In the end you can probably end this with a net profit, or at worst, a small loss. You are welcome to breathe a sigh of relief.

I didn't say they didn't do anything wrong. I said that criminal fraud is both difficult to prove and expensive to prosecute and therefore jail time was never a real possibility. They could have other regulatory transgressions that the government his hitting them for. Or more likely, it is just a shake down where the r...

Android is kinda behind as well honestly. If you really want to be up-to-date with your phone, rooting and installing third-party utility and apps is the way to do it. But yeah, it's pretty funny to have a standard android phone that makes the current flagship iPhone look outdated.

Congratulations on being in such good financial state. You have a few investment choices. If you want very low risk, you are talking bonds or CDs.

Put bluntly, if you do a couple extra lines of code, the company isn't going to notice a difference in revenue. If a salesman sells a few more RGU's, the company makes a bit more money. They are more valuable than you are. It's just that simple.
