    Just opened an account with amp. Was skeptical about them for a while but the initial impression has been good so far. The account opening process was smooth. I really like their client web portal and live chat. This is compared to IB's site which is burdensome. You know that there is a...

    Not everyone got mega bonuses but lets assume on avg they made well above the national avg. At the end of the day its not about what you make its about what you keep. most of these people will never see big money again so the process of bringing down your cost of living is never easy...
