Is the Millionaire Next Door Really Dead?

Hiltzik and The Baffler’s Helaine Olen pointed out that some of those conditions no longer exist. Today’s would-be Millionaire Next Door would likely graduate from college with a mountain of student loan debt, leaving him with little extra money to start a business and a strong incentive to stay in the cubicle farms. Low inflation, a booming stock market, and high real estate values also make it difficult for working stiffs to accumulate income earning assets.

Ten Mind Blowing Facts about Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway

What is even stranger is you would have to sell almost four shares of Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B (NYSE: BRK.B)[3] stock to get enough money to buy one share of Google’s Class B stock (NASDAQ: GOOG). On March 10, 2015, one share of BRK.B was selling for $143.85, while one share of GOOG was selling for $559.44.[4]

Who Is Using Apple Pay?

It looks as if the purveyors of digital wallets are going to have to do a lot of old fashioned marketing if they want to get the public to accept their products. That might give Current C an advantage in the digital wallet wars because some of the companies behind it, such as Kroger, are very good at marketing.

Economic Freedom Index Should Be Wake-up Call for America

Americans now have less economic freedom than Danes, Chileans, Canadians, Swiss, New Zealanders, Australians and even Estonians, according to the Index. In fact, the level of economic freedom in the USA is only slightly higher than that in the United Kingdom, which American conservatives love to disparage as a bastion of socialism.

Intuit Growing with the Freelance Economy

If Intuit can avoid more security problems with its software and marketing stumbles, it could be a good long-term software play. I say this because it looks like Intuit has a winner and a potential huge moneymaker with QuickBooks Online Self-Employed

How Costco’s Memberships Generate Float

Costco, on the other hand, can use the float from its memberships for almost anything it wants to. That’s good news for investors because Costco generated $768 million in membership fee revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014, according to The Wall Street Journal. Costco’s float is growing too – its membership fee revenue grew by 7% during the fourth quarter.

The High Price of Poverty in America

One reason why the poor stay poor is that they often lack the opportunities to save money that middle and even working class Americans enjoy. By save I don’t mean put money in a bank account, which is obviously important, but simply pay less to live.
