    question about money and Argentine peso.

    I see what your saying, but I might get the chance to help and save some people as well. And If it wasnt for the financial position that joining the army is going to put me in, I wouldnt get the chance to help anybody at all in the future, orphan or otherwise, because I would just end up being a...

    question about money and Argentine peso.

    Once again, I appreciate a "real" answer, i still have hope in you yet! How will the fact that I will be making my money in the US and still paying taxes in US (I trade on a US online broker site) even when I am in BA effect all this. Because, unless I have a job in BA, I actually wont be...

    question about money and Argentine peso.

    - I am enlisting in the army because they will pay $65000 of my $80000 in student loans from earning a bachelors and masters (which apparently I earned while living in my mother's basement) if I enlist in a critical MOS and IT (25b) is a critical MOS.

    question about money and Argentine peso.

    - I think making $30,000 a year off of $120,000 is very realistic considering I have made over $12,000 (short term trading and dividends) the last two years off of $45,000...in fact I was low balling just in case. All I aim for, right now, is atleast %1 return per trade on at least 5-7 trades...
