Another cell phone thread - Page 8

Amanda gets her phone service paid by the new employer. So she had to choose a new phone through their plan. She got the new galaxy S8. For free. The bitch.

So, since her coming off my bill took $70/mo away, I ordered myself an S8+.

I take back calling her a bitch.

I still had to pay $130 upfront and $30/mo x 24, but my bill will still be $40 less than last month.

If my bill was $40 less, they'd be writing me a check.

Best part is that she will be on Verizon, so we might actually have a signal when we go anywhere else.

this phone is good. real good. It feels smaller in my hand than the Note4, but the screen is a god bit larger. and it's gorgeous. picture is tighter than my tv and blacks are blacker etc... amazing things, these phones today.

I'm used to Next Launcher from my old phone, and I still use it on here, but it seems like the phone does much of that stuff on it's own. super customizability. wicked fast and slick as hell.

go get you one, hear?

That's 40% over 4 years, though. Dow Jones over that same time frame went from 14,910 to 21,310 = also basically 40%.

You find something that gets you 40% in one year, then you're talking.

But I only made 9% last year.

One should average 8% annually. Demonstrates why stock broker advice and mutual funds are for losers.

8% annually is 36% in four years. Double money in nine years.

No, its not. One would need to add into account the compounded interest.

Happy Monkey · 06-28-2017, 03:58 PM

tw was right; without compounding, it's 32%

classicman · 06-28-2017, 04:33 PM

Duh ... would one ignore the compounding? everyone here knows 4x8=32

Happy Monkey · 06-28-2017, 06:10 PM

Sorry; internet tone is hard to read. Are you being self-deprecating? tw said 36%, not 32%.

classicman · 06-30-2017, 04:48 PM

lol ... tone, yes.
