A Quick-and-Dirty Guide for Retirement Saving
Even if retirement is decades away, there are little things you can do now that will make a big difference over time.It is too late for me to save from income.
I am trying to minimize costs.
My approach was simple savings and checking.
All money left in the local bank at the end of the first year would go to equities in the second year.
I did not have to think beyond where to put cash now.
I hold equities until they make me afraid.
I have been caught at the bottom end of the market by buyouts and bankruptcies several times.
I am not quick and do not give the account much attention.

How Not to Get a Job
I wasn’t looking for a fiscal benefits analyst, E.M.T. or brand ambassador, but they showed up anyway.Economically ambitious people have jobs and are looking for better jobs.
Economic ambition is not a skill.

My ambition is better understanding of the world I inhabit.

Recall elections have been tried and defeated by cash.
I am entertained.
I hope to be active closer to election time.

Seattle Shows the Way to Higher Pay
A recent dispute over whether Seattle’s $15 an hour minimum wage has helped or hurt workers has crucial lessons for all policy makers.Employers have ended all the jobs they dare.
Raising the minimum wage will raise prices.
How much is debated.
More business is required to meet the higher costs.
This implies more skillful workers who will require higher pay or more workers of the same skill receiving higher pay.
If businesses do not collapse from the higher cost of workers
more business will be done.
