> requirements that you sacrifice your retirement and financial well being

Holding index funds seems reasonable (Total Stock Market, S&P 500)... not a huge sacrifice imo

Definitely prefer something like Total market, even 500 companies is too much of a bias towards one group. Especially with the S&P500 currently looking like an S&P10...

this feels like a no brainer solution, but just seems like a wonderful wishlist that won't happen, ive heard it a lot.

I am wondering why i don't hear anything like: if a church or group representing a church get involved with politics, through lobbying or any other type of means, their tax free status is revoked and they are treated like a normal entity.

it seems like a similar type of thing that in my eyes at least, is a no brainer, but is just as likely to be chopped down because of how our current system functions.
