One Company’s New Minimum Wage: $70,000 a Year

tid-bit of info I found interesting was:
"The happiness research behind Mr. Price’s announcement on Monday came from Angus Deaton and Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel Prize-winning psychologist. They found that what they called emotional well-being — defined as “the emotional quality of an individual’s everyday experience, the frequency and intensity of experiences of joy, stress, sadness, anger, and affection that make one’s life pleasant or unpleasant” — rises with income, but only to a point. And that point turns out to be about $75,000 a year."

I enjoyed this little tidbit myself. Then the pessimist sneaked in my head and I started asking these questions:
1. How can an employee leave a job they don't like (even at that scale) and find pay equal to that at other companies NOT doing this?
2. Do they have matching 401K implications for the company.
3. Now the experiment starts, the guy answering the phone, do they have the same work ethic as the CEO?
4. If another company wanted to buy this company, would the salaries be honored?

Robinhood android app .apk is available. This is not an official version obviously since it's not on the playstore. Proceed at your own risk, as this version is probably Alpha.

Thanks,

It has a clean bill of health at virustotal; first analysed on 7-20. Nevertheless, since I already bought an iPhone, I probably wouldn't use it unless in an 'emergency situation'...whatever that may be.

If you can safely say, where'd you get it?

I got the link from a poster on a different forum, but it originates from reddit. It's not my Google drive.

So you've been using the apple version? If so, how do you like it? Other than free trades.

It only has basic orders. No frills. Otherwise, execution is like most other discount brokers I've tried.

EDIT: No interactive charts, etc.

Good to know, Thanks! The REAL interesting part will be how tax friendly it is .... I sure hope it can be imported to tax software!

I've been avoiding that whole aspect.

The great thing about using software that is supported by the 'computer geek' community... even if it doesn't have the feature itself, there is a good chance 'they' will come up with a tool to automate it!

Hadn't considered that!

Shouldn't be too difficult to parse it into a format TurboTax, for example, could read. I'll let you know what the real deal is around tax time.
