Sucks that you guys have sucky New Years
Nah. It's just that the day itself is lame.

Pick a random, astronomically insignificant spot of the revolution of the earth around the sun. Call it the new year, even if Ethiopians celebrate it Sept 11, Cambodians and Thai celebrate it in April, a billion Hindus celebrate it in March, over a billion Chinese think it's really in February, 1.6 billion Muslims thought it was already in October, and all the Jews think it's in September.

Jack up the prices 4x for anybody who wants to do anything like go out to a restaurant or drink at a bar that night. Make taxis impossible to get on the night most people are blotto out of their minds and should not drive. Jack up the price of Uber cars 4x.

Watch CNN put on a gay man and a fag hag for a countdown. Watch other networks televise clowns like Pitbull singing for it.

:inter: Shittiest holiday of the entire year.

Index funds, baby. Index funds.
I prefer mutual funds to holding EFT's.

New Years is the biggest load of BS if you ask me. Pubs are always too packed full of amateurs who can't drink for $#@! and get way too excited about the whole whole thing
I agree, plus if you do go out, you have to worry about DUI checkpoints and drunk drivers. So I am always way too paranoid to even have a good time. Thankfully I will be staying home or walking to a neighbor's down the street.

Suckiest day/night ever - especially at bars/pubs/clubs as it seems to attract all sorts of obnoxious fuckheads who can't handle their booze.

Will be spending mine at my house with a few others having a BBQ and drinkin beers. 11 and a half hours away now.

Index funds usually have lower management fees since they're not actively managed. Also, they trade much less, so turnover ratio is lower (making capital gains taxes lower).

Of course there are mutual fund managers who may outperform or meet the market indexes (DODFX got amazing result during the last five years). As there are other managers who can barely keep up with market indexes or not even that. However, I don't trust people and you actually have to do your homework before choosing a manager.

Index funds tend to outperform mutual funds in the long run. I feel it's a safer option.

Most overrated day in the year, people always expect something amazing and in the end it's worse than normal party.
:agree: New Year's eve is always my most calm 'party' of the year. I despise the hype. Any random friday night at the local pub > New Year's Eve
I'm just quietly laughing at all the tourists who have come here for NYE and it's supposed to snow tomorrow.




Why wouldn't I? :kiss:
BLOOM.

New Year's Eve must be renamed "Completely Random Holiday With Unrealistic Expectations Day"
