I believe it. Weightlifiting has many benefits.

I found some it useful for me. Hacker News paydirt!

I agree.

I've always liked those paintings!

The Detroit launch was yesterday, headlined by Dr. Ben Carson, Mayor Mike Duggan, coach Lou Holtz, Detroit native Jerome "The Bus" Bettis, Chris Lambert (founder of "Life Remodeled"…

Wow, the dream come true. For most of us, the stock market can still bring wealth. The secret to safe wealth accumulation is shouted daily from the likes of Buffet, Dalio, Bogle, etc. Slow and stead…

Modern-day college is a huge rip-off, especially book sales. I'm waiting for a really progressive college to take MOOCs and make a degree program for the masses, one that carries enough prestige …

There's a lot of great advice in that post, but too much to digest in one pass. The author is right-- anyone can become rich, if they simply spend less than they earn and invest it for the long r…

My inclination is that money without work is a bad idea, but I'm happy to admit I might be wrong. I hope the results are described fairly and often, it'll be interesting to see how it turns …

This is what's called "Being a Good Employee", and we all recognize it and appreciate it when it's us doing the buying. No dark side here, only discipline and the recognition of op…

As a 28 year coding veteran, I sometimes dream about the life of a truck driver. Hours on the road, seeing the country go by, seems like a nice change. But an article like this one brings me back to …

I think this is exactly backwards. My kids stress me out more than anything else. ;)

They missed the biggest one of all: Washington, DC.

I agree, it's not just the cost of the phone, it's the monthly service fee as well. And the Starbucks. And the avocado on toast. Etc. Wealth (at least relative wealth) can be obtained, by…

I remember liking Time magazine a number of years ago. Then either they changed or I did, I'm not certain which. Sometime along 2000 or so it seems their point of view took a pointed political t…

Yet 77% of Americans have a smartphone. (Not a cell phone. A more expensive smartphone.) This is a self-induced injury. Financial education should be mandatory, and started in elementary school.

"Don't talk to strangers" is applicable to social media, too.

I wonder if the Orbach Group has any ties to Jerry Orbach, 'Lenny' from Law and Order and the father figure in 'Dirty Dancing'.

Huh. IMHO, the problem with 'learn, earn, return' is that the peak earning years are towards the age of retirement. If by 'return' the author means in some partial way (not full t…

I love cars, all kinds of cars. I bought my son a Prius, I even enjoy driving that (just for the unusual driving experience.) I like to see how long I can go on just electric power. But I'm sta…

Yes, great idea!

I'm just not sympathetic. College isn't meant to be free, and choosing private colleges without considering the costs just isn't somebody else's fault. I've got 3 kids to put…

"Palo Alto is a ghetto of wealth, power, and elitist liberalism by proxy, meaning that many community members claim to want to fight for social justice issues, but that desire doesn't transl…

I guess the world feels different to people in different places. I'm a young Boomer / Old Gen Xer, and to me things are pretty good right now. Jobs are available, 401k balances are good, et…

YouTube is my preferred method of learning. It's easy and can quickly expose you to a variety of teaching styles.

I respect the workers for walking away. If they are committed pacifists, then more power to them. As for me, I'm a proud military veteran. I believe a strong US military helps make the world a …

"Geeks love the circle of life." Best thing I've read on HN today.

In unspecified order: - Maxing out the 401k early - Marrying the right girl, also not marrying the wrong one - Ensuring (in my own religious views) my eternal salvation. This one brings great peace o…

Love his music, respect his thinking, hate that he sold out to Hillary Clinton as she cheated Bernie.
