What people used to get arrested for in concert, and sports parking lots, along with sidewalks at the theater has somehow become a legitimate business practice for corporate America now.
A quick reminder: if you don’t have deep knowledge on a charity, or line of sight on their work, use extreme caution. Almost 100% of all metrics/data found anywhere is self reported by the charity itself. The more local the better.
Not to go off topic, but can I tell you how amused I am when Quinny gets downvoted? He could say the sky is blue, and they’ll be a half dozen red numbers within 10 minutes. Makes me chuckle every time. Love RDQ!
I’m not so sure “giving up market upside” is the issue, I think it’s the fear that you pay 200, 500,800k etc for an annuity and drop dead the next day.
Everything we see, everything we hear and everything we read every single day is purely designed to separate us from our money, and put it in their pockets. A lesson I’m trying to teach my younger son.

I suspect these studies are talking about “elective spending” vs “total spending/expenses”
