Oh yeah then that makes sense.

Who are you with?

They are fiduciaries.

Fiduciary is a legally defined term. Fiduciaries are expected to exercise a duty of care and a duty of loyalty to clients, and as a result, are “held to the highest standard of conduct.” Fiduciaries have a bond of trust with another person (called the beneficiary or principal) and have a legal obligation to act for the beneficiary’s benefit – not their own.

Yeah that’s bad. We’re with JP Morgan through our local Chase branch and their fee when all is said and done is averaged down to less than 1% of the total account balance.

Even scarier.

I let my bank’s financial advisor handle that. They have apps that calculate everything.

Retiring on $15k is a scary fucking thought.

Just looked that up. There are tons of listings for them on eBay! I’m amazed. Would have thought they would be more rare.

It does feel like a small pond, but it’s a nice one, with smart fish.

Technically, just Paul Hogan:

“Shrimp on the barbie” is a phrase that originated in a series of television advertisements by the Australian Tourism Commission broadcast in the US and UK starring Paul Hogan from 1984 through to 1990.[1][2] The full quote spoken by Hogan is “I’ll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you”, and the actual slogan of the ad was “Come and say G’day”. It has since been used, along with some variations, to make reference to Australia in popular culture, however the phrase is rarely actually used in Australia. Very few use the word ‘shrimp’ in Australia (the word most commonly used is ‘prawn’) and the phrase is often perceived as American.

I’m really glad people are focusing on the important issues these days.
