  1. Sorry! I agree median is the middle point. So if 250k is the median half ate above and half are below.
  2. Perhaps. 401ks and IRAs are definitely assets though. Pensions including social security in general are not. Net worth is about assets not income. For example a person may be expecting a 50k dollar income a year but the only part of that 50k that is an asset is the part already paid and not spent. Net worth of course doesn't tell the entire story of an individual's financial situation.
  3. No. The money from any source that you currently have banked or invested is.
  4. I don't know about the CIA but yes obviously they have been a conservative publication. The U.S. is a conservative country and they never wanted to make waves. Definitely pro Americanism in the corny Mom and apple pie old fashioned sense.
  5. Are you familiar with Andrew Callaghan's youtube channel? If not, check it out. He's a real American character, that's for sure. ‘Channel 5’: How YouTuber Andrew Callaghan Is Changing Journalism – Rolling Stone Well he did a feature length video called This Place Rules which I suggest as well: This Place Rules (2022) - IMDb Note: Callaghan is now facing sexual misconduct allegations. This post is NOT about that.
  6. To answer this poll accurately you need to first calculate your net worth (basically all assets minus all liablities) and then compare to the chart in this link. Age of head of family Median net worth Average net worth Less than 35 $13,900 $76,300 35-44 $91,300 $436,200 45-54 $168,600 $833,200 55-64 $212,500 $1,175,900 65-74 $266,400 $1,217,700 75+ $254,800 $977,600 The Average Net Worth by Age: How Does Yours Compare? - NerdWallet Note the massive difference between median and average amounts. In case you don't understand what those terms mean: Average Vs Median: What's The Difference? » Differencess I think the median figure is much more relevant as outliers like Elon Musk massively distort the averages. Note there is a net worth calculator in the link.
  7. I grew up with Reader's Digest being an aggressively NON controversial publication that you'd read in places like dentist's waiting rooms. So I was rather surprised to see their current enthusiasm for Thailand -- both traveling here and indeed moving here in retirement. I’ve Been to 60 Countries, but These 6 Changed Me Forever (msn.com) The country out of 60 that feels like a second home to the author? Thailand. The Best Places to Retire Around the World | Reader's Digest (rd.com) Thailand Number One! Yes, it's not really that cheap, is it?
  8. So the people in his district that don't identify as Christian nationalists he does not represent?
  9. And American fascism, xenophobia, and isolationism.
  10. You need to check whether Any Desk supports WOL with cable. As shown before TeamViewer does. You say your sister has IT Help. Why not just set it up so that you can login to her router LAN software and then you can WOL your device through that connected wirelessly. I don't recommend a Windows laptop for this. I recommend a cheap box with Linux instead.
  11. Jomtien is already better than Miami. We have a Cheap Charlies. Next ....
  12. It might help?
  13. The U.S. And The Holocaust Excellent documentary on an under reported historical topic by national treasure and Hampshire College's greatest alumni Ken Burns. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jan/10/the-us-and-the-holocaust-review-unmissable-ken-burns-doc-reveals-how-hitler-was-inspired-by-america Review The US and the Holocaust review – unmissable Ken Burns doc reveals how Hitler was inspired by America The revered documentary-maker brings us a fascinating and unflattering portrait of a nation built on a myth of immigration. This is six hours of television well worth your time
  14. To wit.
  15. New mobilization soon. You are totally wrong. A healthy percentage of traveling Russians these days to Thailand and other places they can enter without a visa is related to fleeing mobilization. y
  16. Indirectly but still very real. Slava Ukraini
  17. I think that for most people the most common tell and complaint is the LOUDNESS! I've been guilty of this myself. My excuse is ear damage from that time I went to a Dead Kennedy's concert at Mabuhey Gardens.
  18. The US leads the world in elite universities such as Stanford but overall yes the education is rather <deleted> for the masses.
  19. Yeah but hearing your language raises my blood pressure.
  20. Don't feed the ....
  21. This special fleeing mobilization operation was as predictable as poop in tochus. Some are rich but most are not.
  22. Georgia would have been a wiser choice. One year stays on entry renewable by border run.
