Put your hands back in your pockets. Nobody’s going to buy your bailout for billionaire plan. As far as the 410k, I feel sorry for whoever is under any plan that you are overlooking. I guess they can hope for a government bailout too.
“Your comment was written to me moron.”
My original comment was to your post #44. You wrote the word “you” 6 times in 8 sentences. I didn’t think you meant that as being directed at anyone on the forum. Just as I didn’t mean the word “you” to be directed at you personally.
I don’t mean to hijack this thread, so please explain why I should bailout someone who isn’t comfortable with being just a millionaire.
So far your handout for people who can’t live a “decent” life with only $500,000 is out of touch with most people who use this website.
Having some compassion for the misfortune of others isn't an offer of taxpayer monies.
Last and not least, the grammatical usage of “you” is entirely different in my post 44 which was directed to someone else who understood it properly and your post to it.
I apologize for calling you a moron. I shouldn't have done that.
Merry Christmas.
Yes, this is a bad turn of phrase. “Savings” they may well have been - or not, depending on the provenance of the money.
However, these are more properly termed “investments” (at least, the unfortunate thought they were investing). Investments are by definition some thing other than money. Savings then, are denominated in cash or near cash equivalents, and arguably deposited in an FDIC institution, not an “investment bank.” (which are now rare in any case).
Words mean things, and about half the time the word “bank” is used in popular culture they are not. Such is the legacy of congress jettisoning so many of the depression era regulations. Totally off-topic, remember when Wal-Mart wanted to offer banking services, and the experts opined on how this was a bad idea? I wonder.
