What a disingenuous take. People want them banned, and rightly so, because they are used on a weekly basis in mass shootings. And there are no upsides in having them around. Pretty much every other western country do without and we get mass shootings once a decade, or less.

Obesity kills people, good unrelated point. Something should be done for that too. While working on gun control/ban.

Hi again :)

No bad takes here, I already mentioned before that I have three beautiful chickens that are well loved, fed and protected and give me eggs on a daily basis. We work pretty well together

Let me guess [...] I suppose [...] if not you must be

Do you really think that is how logic is supposed to work?

And that's why it has had no use throughout human history whatsoever. /s

Do you also have an opinion on timber smelling bad and be completely useless with no upsides?

In fairness the suggested premise of you wearing human skin, not an animal skin, was funny but pretty stupid to start with. And not what they had suggested has been done for the while history of humanity.

And we are back at the maybe if you just did this one thing you'd agree with my weird ideas that I think everyone should embrace.

If not visiting a slaughterhouse, it is about watching cowspiracy or some weird youtube videos. Come on

This part made me think you were saying that was an investment, sorry I misunderstood

So my bank is giving me money each month for doing nothing really

It's more sustainable to eat the animals you make clothes from.

How long is a piece of string?

Depends on how much you earn, what are your expenses, and how much you have saved already.

You are barely keeping up with inflation, don't think that's an investment. That said, you are doing the right thing, keep that money available if needed.

Everything on top of 6 months expenses, you should invest in something less liquid that on the long term yields decent returns.

You seem to be in a very unique situation. And to have a pretty good understanding of personal finance and of your risk appetite. What you say works for you and a few people that happen to have access to universal healthcare, what looks like four separate insurance policies, and that can manage not to fuck it up with credit cards.

6 months liquid emergency fund remains the best strategy for most people out there.

Would certainly suck if those six months worth of emergency fund had temporarily gone down to four months because of a downturn in the stock market though.

Accidentally there might also be some correlation with stock markets going down, and an emergency happening. Eg large company laying staff off.

That said you can do the math and see how much that money would return on average on etfs compared to a bank account, and decide if that's worth the risk to you.

Experts say no, I agree with them but I see your point, and it's definitely worth to challenge these suggestions.
