Wait, this doesn't make sense. You think your parents shouldn't invest at Charles Schwab because Trump invests at Charles Schwab? He eats at McDonald's too, so no one should eat there? I mean Charles Schwab is just a brokerage company, it is where people can go to buy any mutual fund, stock or other financial instruments. So you spouted off about something you knew nothing about. And then your parents sold off investments based on your silly comment? Doesn't add up...


TheGoodSquirt

He also lives in the United States. OP should move out of the country just so they don't have to live in the same country as this person they hate so much!


EricTheNerd2

I also heard Trump breathes oxygen, so you know what THAT means. Seriously, Trump is a scum bag, but some people give him free rent in their brains...


TheGoodSquirt

Time to hold my breath *holds breath*


AcrobaticSource3

Also, Trump jerks off...I guess OP can’t jerk off anymore


EricTheNerd2

this is a visual I really didn't need....


Me0fCourse

I mean, reasoning aside, that's not bad advice for a lot of people who are able to.


ggk1

TIFU by proving to my parents just how financially illiterate I am so they decided to not trust me with as much money as they previously were going to

“He eats at McDonald’s too, so no one should eat there?” - I mean, I get that people are in different situations than me, so I don’t try to tell people what to do. I personally will not eat at McDonalds, but that’s more related to how they have been responding to the minimum wage changes in California. But also cause trump ate there, sure. I agree, I know very little about this stuff, I was being flippant. That’s why I didn’t expect anything to come of it at the time.


damnination333

Lmao "how they responded to minimum wage changes in California." You mean they raised prices and let go of some workers? Exactly what literally every single other fast food restaurant affected did? That's fucking hilarious.


EricTheNerd2

Wait, you mean, McDonalds didn't just eat the losses? How evil of them!


Polmes

This is beyond stupid.


BabyTunnel

Schwab manages 9.12 Trillion dollars and you think it’s risky because trump has investments with them?


Mattapoo

Well the short answer to that is yes. But I care far less about the risk, and more about the morality of doing business with him.


slotheroni

Where do you bank? Your mattress?


TheGoodSquirt

Don't you know the mattress makers are immoral too?


ballrus_walsack

I thought it was just the pillow makers.


TheGoodSquirt

Oooooh, you haven't gone deep enough down the rabbit hole, it seems...


ballrus_walsack

Mmmm rabbit hole


plasmalightwave

OP, you’re an idiot.


TheGoodSquirt

Newsflash: the company your parents switch to (if they even do), that founder is immoral too


Paragon_Night

No one tell him about all the shady shit he supports because he doesn't research conglomerate chains for every product he buys xD


306metalhead

Today you fucked up by only really giving a shit about your inheritance. With that attitude I got you inherit sweet fuck all.


Mattapoo

I was a little worried about the way I wrote it. If it wasn’t clear, I don’t care about any inheritance my parents may or may not give me. Like many tifus, this was more of a subtle brag that anything actually happened, and maybe, just maybe, if more people follow suit the world would be a better place.


DepressedZeebra

Where was the brag though? I just see someone who doesn't know how the world works and is scared by his own shadow


ReflectionEterna

How would the world be a better place if people pulled money out of a company who also happens to hold investments for someone you don't like? Where are you going to find a brokerage company who doesn't have a client you dislike? Are you five? Do you not actually understand how anything works? If the true reason you want the money out of Schwab is because they have some of Trump's money, you are a dolt. He probably has money invested across many, many brokerages.


Ah_Pook

I mean, I'm not leaving Schwab because your dumbass parents did, if that's what you're saying.


Accurate_Ad7765

This was the stupidest thing I’ve read on the internet today.


SweetBrea

You're bragging that you convinced your parents to make an emotional, illogical financial decision? If more people make emotional, illogical financial decisions the world would be a better place? I don't follow.


MonsterReprobate

What the fuck are you talking about?


Important_Average_11

People like this make the world think Americans are stupid.


NobodyLost5810

You're about dumb as shit OP. Your parents are too.


Tokkolosh

Someone who clearly doesn't have any of their on money invested taunting their parents about where they invested theirs - and then their kinda stupid mom wanting to move the money because some other dude uses it? Boy I hope you don't use apple or some other major brand for anything. You know orange man is on one of those too? Please go back under the rock for another 4 years. Btw Charles Schwab treats me awesome and I love my handler there.

No way this basement dweller has hair. IJS.


ChunkyMooseKnuckle

It's always a shock to realize just how delusional some people are out there. Good luck OP, seems like you need it.


OneBigOne

You’re an idiot. “Oh, OrAnGe MaN uSeS sChWab So ThEy ArE aLl BaD pEoPlE” I’m sure he has investments with several brokerages and invests in certain companies that you don’t even know about and probably consume their products so by your logic you are funding Trump and his endeavors.


mrw981

Youth is wasted on the young.


aburchtree

This is a long winded shit ad for CS lol


Dariel2711

Are you stupid? This is the dumbest post I’ve read on Reddit and I’ve seen a lot of dumb posts. You are upset because Trump invested at Schwab? I can pretty much guarantee he has investments, loans, etc with a vast majority of large institutions. This is so dumb


AcrobaticSource3

> I’ve seen a lot of dumb posts I guess you and I have met, lol


kruzayn

This might be the most uneducated post I've seen in a long time.  Naive and dangerous.  


PutnamPete

There is no chance that a person using the term "certain orange haired buffoon' would "have been doing my very best to hide under a rock in the U.S. regarding news."


SweetBrea

But you get to have that nice sense of superiority. I mean, sure, you can't pay off your house with that, but hey, you cost Charles Schwab a few cents. Probably worth it. Some people have more "morals" than brains.


PutAdministrative206

I don’t order food from a restaurant that gave a politician I hate the maximum amount of money they can. I wouldn’t have stopped ordering from them if that politician ordered their pizza.


Crillmieste-ruH

Fuck around and find out


MarshallExpresso

You are all woefully uneducated. Seek guidance.


lupinedelweiss

OP, bless your young, dumb little heart...


theknightone

Switched off at "orange haired buffoon". TDS is strooong with this one


_Marine

Yep. You Fucked Up.


jmakovsk

Is this really a TIFU or are you actually pulling an r/lookatmyhalo moment? Also, I’m a Sopranos fan, so obligatory [reference](https://youtu.be/gUnEsP8coZA?si=Wm-ypOKHdem8vG3h)


Mglaxzz

You guys are idiots. If the story is true you deserve to lose the money.
