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.

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

Can we discuss starting to get donations from stupid retards like the Missouri University meme thing and Paris and such?

Something like:
>Not all Muslims are terrorists! Please donate money in support of the rampant Islamaphobia that Muslims experience because of a select few, we are donating this money to a refugee charity

Can't you just make a "charity for refugee children" but then just pocket all the money in theory?

It's okay, OP. I considered giving you money but made a donation to the Human Fund in your name instead. God bless.

Are manufactured homes good to live in? I know they are depreciating assets, but are they cheap on utilities, easy to maintain, etc.?

I'm about to turn 22 and have $50K saved up and it's time to move out of my parents house (they want me to move out by this time next year). I want to buy a trailer in cash so I don't have to worry about monthly rent or mortgage (also because I'm self employed and have an irregular income).

I don't think I can afford a brand new one, but maybe I can buy a <5 year old one for $20-30K. Where should I begin searching? Are they only allowed in trailer parks? Anybody here live in/own one? How easy are they to rent out once I move out?

How do you pay off a credit card?

>just my first one ever (back in September)
>it's an Amazon Rewards Visa
>have accrued a $1000 balance

I can afford to pay it in full whenever, but I've heard you should make monthly payments for 6 months, then pay it in full. Can anyone shed light on this?
18 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>962406
I thought you are supposed to pay it off in full within the payment time. Credit cards have a monthly loan interest of like 30%
>>
What's your monthly income? Debt/Income ratio can be quite telling. I would recommend paying it off at a rate higher than the minimum, but don't just kill your savings in one go. Double minimum tends to work pretty well; just pay 2x the minimum payment. For you, this will probably be 75/month. Considering you will probably only be paying 25 dollars or so max in interest per month, this will be good progress.
>>
Op, just keep doing what you're doing. Don't worry. You're exactly the kind of consumer America needs. Make minimum payments, for the rest of your life, on that debt that's growing at around 30% each month. Just don't default.

In part, greed. The economy wants to continually improve. Companies want to continually improve. Individuals want the same. On an upward trend of profits, when an economy, a firm or an individual starts feeling friction, what do they do? They try to defy gravity, the opposing market forces. This might lead to increasingly unethical and more risky behavior.

>colleges: NO, admit more less qualified highschool students that will statistically not be able to find jobs and not be able to payback their loans.

What are the most /biz/ haircuts? What do you usually ask for when you go to get your hair cut f.am?

Should I get it cut like the madmememan? Do I just ask for the cukkold cut or what do I say?

I usually just cut my hair on my own either buzzcut or high and tight.

Hey /biz/ I from the eastern European balkan states. And i have kept reading about debt, credit scores and what not.

> What is this credit score?
> Why americans(it seems) always use credit cards? And multiple.
> How do you pay your stuff if you have to always use credit to buy stuff. I mean you don't own the money and your income is not large enough to support your life. Why do banks keep giving you credit when they know you can't pay up?

> As i said i am from the Balkans and don't have a credit card only a debit one. I get payed every month whit my money i pay food/bills(basically same like you) and maybe buy once 2-3 month something that i want like nice pair of headphones or for a trip abroad. But i just manage my personal cash and save up. I don't view my life very much differently than yours(we both eat,watch movies,buy shit) But its seem you like having 20% interest to everything and having it now rather than thinking i need to spend 3 months saving for X??? is this the difference?

The difference?
For smart people - at the end of the year, the CC company will give you cash back on money spent. E.g. 1% - 3% on good ones. You spend $1000, you get $30 back. So it makes sense to use CC for purchases.

For dumber people - a way for instant gratification.

By the way, kosovo is serbia, right?
>>
>>962336
It's just a meme that gives you some rewards for how much you spend if you pay it off on time.

Credit score is for determining how reliable you are on paying back money after borrowing it.

Also why are Estonia girls so qt? How much money do I need to be able to kidnap myself a gf from there?

Is this one of the smartest business decisions of the year?
>original release date of XCOM 2 around the date of Fallout 4 (which is now battling Dota 2 for most played game on steam)
>decide to release it 3 months after when virtually no games are releasing to PC and the hype for Fallout 4 finally dissipates
>decide to suspend most news about XCOM 2 only releasing a few bits and pieces to keep the hardcore fans following
>in addition gives them time to release mod tools on launch, optimize for PC even more (which PC players love), refine any game aspects that are sub-par
Compared to what Blizzard did with LotV this was simply amazing.

look at hypothetical growth of 10k and you'll see that because of the two crashes, unless you invested and withdrew during two small windows of opportunity, you will have lost money

>does not understand what long term buy and hold is.

the market is so volatile even if we're talking about 10+ year investments it's still not guaranteed returns

>extrapolates and magically no new high is set in the future like it should based on the past data.

the extrapolation was not entirely serious but i imagine fluctuations like that will still happen

To make it really simple for you.

If you were oldfag and had a kid in 1995 and invested $ 10.000 dollars in the S&P500, that spoiled shitkid would be in university now with $65000.

Hurr durr muh inflation. Inflation adjusted that still turns it into $41250

Hey /biz/,

While dating, how do avoid financially retarded people like pic related? Basically, at which base can I ask her for a bank statement and credit report?

It's easy to inject credit cards into a conversation. After you've been chatting a few hours try to get on that subject, then ask her whether she pays her credit cards off in full each month. If she doesn't just turn around and leave. Block her number and delete any details you might have on her so that you aren't tempted.

As an aside, avoid anyone who plays the lottery or does any other kind of gambling.
>>
>>962165
The biggest red flag is if she always running out of money and having to eat nothing but ramen for several days before getting her next paycheck arrives, same thing if she can't afford to pay her phone/electricity/rent bills until they're overdue.

A slightly smaller red flag is if she frequently buys junk like new clothes and fancy electronics with her credit card, in my experience people who do that usually have at least twice as much debt as they think they do

You should be able to tell right away if someone compulsively spends money, I mean all women compulsively spend but if she had a stable father there's no way this could happen. I mean how do you date someone for more than a week without realizing this

So Russia is sending 150.000 troops to 'fight isis', a.k.a. claim a huge load of oil and gas.

What will this do to the price of oil?
Does this action leave any opportunities for investing?

I don't think it will do much. Most of the major oilfields in Iraq border Kuwait or are in Kurdish areas. Iraq only produces 3% of world crude anyways.
>>
We have an over supply problem that is causing pressure on energy prices. Any action in the Middle East is likely to be seen as a potential to restrict supply. While we have OPEC not restricting supply further we will unlikely see any significant reduction in global stockpiles. Should supply be restricted we would no doubt see Shale Oil from the US be increased with the rise in prices restricting the upside value. All in All we need to either see a significant blow to oil producing countries that would limit supply, or a massive shift in demand that would cause demand side pressure. Either way I wouldn't be looking to oil as a saviour. For what its worth, Russia do not need the oil, they do need strong trading partners. I would say that they would make more out of Assad being in power than a guaranteed supply of OPEC's oil.

What is your goal? Why do you even care about your Finances? Why don't you just take on mountains of debt? You're going to die someday anyways, so why live within your means? Why buy a car when you can Finance it for 8 years and pay 2% interest? Why buy a house when it will take your entire life time to double or triple in value when you can buy a Bugatti that will double or triple in value within 1/3 of your life time? Why try to beat the system, why don't you just go with the flow and become what the system wants you to become? Why must you be so different?

A question similar to this came up in one of my lectures today /biz/, and it got me so riled up, I wanted to flip the desk and throw chairs at some of the answers some students were giving. These people actually agreed with this, and said people who are trying to get out of debt or be financially stable, are a burden on the system, they have too much money and they should be sharing the money with the 99%. Some of my classmates said that they believed that everyone should get a set amount of money per year and live only off that and that wages should be capped by the government. They went so far as to say everyone should live in group homes so there is a greater sense of community and that all luxury cars should be banned because they pollute the environment and are only attainable by the rich which is totally unfair to them.

I couldn't take it anymore so I said the Porsche 918, the McLaren P1, and the LaFerrari as well as the Koenigsegg Regera all pollute as much as a Prius, sometimes less. They have amazing performance, and cost more than a million dollars, some even more than 2 million. Some students got so angry they actually told the Prof I was being a bigot, and the Prof actually told me not to share my views if they were so detrimental to the discussion at hand. I told the Prof that I was done with this hatred I'm seeing here against the wealthy and intelligent individuals that make it possible for so many of the students in this classroom to even afford a university education, and I told him that if he was going to continue to teach a class on Ethics and Morality, he should be teaching both sides of the story, instead of filling students minds with blasphemous ideas about the intelligent and wealthy members of society that make it possible for this University to even exist.

I then proceeded to walk out of his class, and students boo-ed me on my way out, and as I was walking out of the door, the Professor actually commented on my disdain for his teachings by telling the rest of the class "he's just like them, there's someone you should not aspire to be." After hearing this, I immediately went to the Student Center and booked a meeting with the President of the University.

The meeting is next Monday in the afternoon, what do /biz/? I need some material, how can I defend the wealthy and intelligent individuals in society, in front of the President of a predominantly Liberal University?

Please help a Business Student out. I have goals, ambitions, I want to make it in this world, but everyday I'm constantly challenged by the ideas of the poor, the ideas of the less intelligent, and the ideas of the less fortunate. How can I put these things out of my mind, and carry on through my plan to forge ahead and obtain my PhD and do what I love, which is making money, and loads of it?
>>
I understand, it's humiliating to be booed out of class and have your professor say mean things. That's not right.

Just keep on going down your path. It's not candy land out there and people are going to hate on us. Are these people worth your time and possible resentment for bludgeoning them to see your side? These are your possible clients, employees, investors, lawmakers, bankers, anyone who could help you succeed. We all have our own opinions. Are you running for public office of the rich peoples party? You don't need to espouse anything to the public. Channel your energy into something productive.

More news at 11

Did y'all know that agriculture is one of the highest in-demand jobs right now and that there are on average 2 ag jobs per graduating student every year with a median starting salary just under $60k?

Are you surprised that nobody wants to move to bumfuck Iowa to take these jobs?

http://www.kunc.org/post/there-are-jobs-ag-there-s-just-not-enough-new-grads-fill-em

Agribusinesses are losing money because nobody wants to work in the middle of nowhere, even if they're offering some of the highest starting salaries relative to cost of living. Coupled with most millennials' distrust for big ag (Monsanto, Dow, et al) and their insistence on small farming and organic bullshit and you have an industry that's getting in trouble.

Short of moving their HQs and offices away from rural Nebraska, Iowa, etc to metropoles like Chicago, St. Louis, Raleigh, etc, what can they do to fix their employment problem?
