Is there a difference between being rich and being upper class?
And what sort of income are we talking about, here?
Okay so I'm going to give the Canadian side of things, since the US is so damn confusing for me to explain.
In Canada, we have a progressive tax system, this means everyone is taxed differently, and the higher your gross income, the higher your gross taxes.
Anyone earning over $222k is paying 50% of taxes to the government. Anyone earning over $222k is considered to be "rich" by the Government of Canada. They are in the highest tax bracket.
Anyone earning $111k - $221.9k can be considered upper middle class. Anyone earning $55.5k - $110.9k...

How does Canada still have any citizens that just aren't too poor to move away?
Is silver a good thing to buy right now?
Looking to invest some of my /biz/ profits. If I bought pic related, I'd be into these silver coins $18.31 each
Looking to buy mainly for if something bad happens to our economy, I want actual money not paper for trading, etc.
I also wouldnt mind waiting 6-18 months if you guys think prices will drop. How to predict this? Wat do?
>>963094
its going to go up around 30$ - 50$ before the end of the year along with bitcoin.
How volatile bitcoin and gold and silver are going to be i'm not even sure why people do stocks at this day and age.
>>963094
why do you people buy minted commodities? the apocalypse isn't gonna happen. ever.
I just heard a story. Dude bought 60k in silver when it was $3 Used the bars as doorstops b/c green + 500lbs or something like that and a few coins.
2 decades later. Honey where's our silver.
what silver?
The giant green doorstops
I threw those out 3 years ago.

nope.
Also ridiculous transfer costs.

To what extent can IQ act as an upper limit to earnings potential?
I'm about ~115, is that good enough to be STEM mustardrace?
> Thinking an IQ score is gonna have a big impact on how much money you make
Back to /b/
>>963028
IQ means close to nothing.
IQ tests are significantly flawed as they currently are and being smart doesn't necessarily give you good skills to make money.
>>963029
but IQ correlates with income.
So /biz/ I am 29 and I still live with my mom. Mainly because I don't enjoy spending money and renting is godawful expensive. I am cheap and buy like $3000 cars and eat PB&J sandwiches and stuff like that, and just hoard money. I make about $62,000 a year and my expenses are about $300-$600 a month (helping mother out, groceries, etc). Any how, I can't live with my mom forever and I have been looking into buying a condo because I am lazy and I don't want to mow lawns, etc etc. I have spent the last 15 years of my life in duplexes so I understand the dangers...

Condos are great
Honestly detached homes are ridiculously overprices
Go for it op
>>962974
Problem with condos is they are a bitch to sell in some markets. So if you ever want to move, you may have to just consider it a sunk cost.
If you do the math and it's cheaper than renting over the term you plan on staying there, go for it. Nothing wrong with living modestly.
depends - mainly on the market
Real estate in a growing market (DC area, SF, really most larger cities and some medium cities - on the coasts, not so much the midwest) is a decent long term investment.
But - with a condo, there are tons of expenses you don't necessarily control. If your neighbors decide they want to upgrade the HVAC, you have to pay also. Need a roof? you will get an assessment. Repave the parking lot - pay up bub.
A better option MAY be to buy a duplex and rent half out. The rent should cover about 75% of your PITI at a minimum and...

Cheap oil will persist and help consumers and companies using petroleum as feedstock
More domestic oil bankruptcies and loss of high paying jobs will eat into us growth
Oil exporting nations like Venezuela will go closer to the cliff and get pwned
Shale debt could become a problem but I see that more long term

Can I be canned if I'm an at-will/seasonal employee if I get admitted to inpatient care for severe mental illness? Does that disability act protect me for this?

>>962682
Yes, I am. Your percentile?

I used conservative numbers calculating it (no OT, didn't include my 401k employer match, lower end on my projected investment income) and I got 24%.

I'm a freshman in college and just want to make a little money. I also have a couple of games on the Android App Store that I programmed but I've only made $1.00 from the ads in the past 4 months because I don't know how to get the word out about them.
Just sell your plasma like every other fuck
>>962801
why are you even posting here if that's the best you've got. OP pimp your apps more maybe? just having an app puts you in a separate category from the average internet person.
>>962593
Sign up at one of those leapforce type sites and work hourly when you're not in class/studying/partying.

I've been planning on starting a company, but the first thing I want to do is move away from New York, since I've lived in this state my whole life and have come to hate it.
I was thinking of Washington, but have also considered British Columbia. (I've also thought of California, if only for the weather)

I'm 18, got accepted into a good /biz/ness school. I want to be an investment banker but all my friends and family try to persuade me not to because working in finance is soul-crushing, amoral, I'm not smart/hard-working enough, etc.
Should I continue down this life path? Dubs decides y/n.
>>962529
Are you sure you're not the same poster who wanted to be in investment memeing and made 10 threads before?
>>962529
>>962533
Oh I got dubs, I decide that no you shouldn't continue down that path.
Mostly because you are a loser and will always be a NEET
Fuck what anyone thinks. I'm 18 aswell and I wanna be an entrepreneur yet every time I tell them they just say you can't get rich, go get a 9-5.
Never mind what your family wants you to do, investment bankers make good money. Walk your own path and make your own decisions
