Jesus Christ man this isn't only massively out of touch this also suggests you've never looked at even basic statistics about the US economy.

Well said.

no, 20 millimeters, or 2 cm.  OP, you can call it roughly 3/4 inch.

Glad I could be of assistance.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Seen lots of post recently about breaking 20mm by 40/retirement. Is this the cusp where people generally see themselves as upper middle class?

Why would you retire at 40 when you have another 10 or more high earning years that are likely the highest you’ve earned in your career?
