Or less for less. I know a woman who is a manager of a dialysis clinic, as soon as she was making over 100k she started getting pushback from higher ups, having more oversight, and having her funds for extra services to patients / staff cut. It's clear they want her out even though she has the lowest mortality in the region, because they don't need more than beds filled (Medicaid pays) and legally required minimums to be met.

And still letting Comcast set the prices

Most Americans have less than $1000 in savings. Unless you live day trip distance from something most people won't ever see it.

Yup. Great article about that and many other failures of capitalism here if anyone wants something to share with a fence sitter in their life.

At least my profs who had their own textbook sold them cheap.

Wait what?

This plan only costs you your humanity. You probably weren't using it anyway.

My partner worked in non-profits for years. Her advice is find local organizations (homeless shelters, local LGBT orgs, neighborhood revitalization orgs, ect.) that DO NOT have a national (central) office. Get to know their staff, their mission, and then make pledges to pay $X per month for the next X years. This is how they can best do the work they are passionate about to help people in need. Don't put strings on the money and you are moving closer to mutual aid than tyranny.

Ah, thanks for the info. That's actually what I suspect is happening with the new fractional shares thing, but the brokerage is the one retaining control.

Omg this is the most redditor argument I've seen off reddit. No one likes a pedant.

Also, they do state they would pay off their mortgage, so not only are you a pedant but also a wrong one at that.

Also, 66k with no rent or car payments.

If you started with $100M, you definitely could buy yourself a house and car before donating the rest. Hell, you could buy it out of the $2M and still be better off than most folks.
