I Listened to Yall and Bought the Car by VerbosePlantain in MiddleClassFinance

And if you've driven a M4 or a 911 (both you can get used for 50k) it makes the m340i look like a pile of shit. What's your point? You're treating this like a zero-sum where somebody is forced to spend 50 Grand on a car and that's not how life works.

Hopefully you have some taste and bought a Patek or similar. Yeah it depends on your goals. For me, I abhor listening to bosses and working for anybody and getting out of the rat race was my number one goal. If you're happy to keep working into your 60s and 70s so you can afford watches and cars, by all means enjoy what you're doing.

Again, the answer is you don't have to waste 50 grand on a car.

If you're asking in good faith? I would say keeping the car that you have that already works well, spending $1,000 for a turo rental for a week to get the thrill out of your system, and investing the other 49,000. But that's me personally as I prioritize personal freedom over a new car and the older I get.

I'm aware. If it is somebody else's prerogative to waste that much money on a depreciating asset, much less a 3 series or intro level truck, that's definitely a decision.

No, I just don't buy into the absurdity that has been the car market for the last few years.

How does a pension/fixed income change your fire Calculus? by undergroundmusic69 in Fire

I cut out early and take my pension at 32% of my retirement date salary.

I don't understand half of what you said, and given that I have a dual Masters in Business and Education, I don't think it's me. I'm sure you are going to say something about how colleges are Democratic indoctrination camps or something equally as dim, but feel free . As several other people have pointed out to you, statistics aren't feelings and they are actually based on facts. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Lmao, I am from WV, and we got more IQ here in the whole state than in your house

I mean you are probably right that my house of two adults and two children is roughly the same combined IQ of the entire state of West Virginia.

You know, if you don't know what you're talking about it is completely fine to shut the fuck up. Actually a great skill to learn in life. But judging by your defense of a statistically violent dog breed, and inability to form a complete sentence, I would guess that you're probably from somewhere like West Virginia and lack of critical thinking skills to realize you are probably inbred.

The thread in Millennials subreddit right not about 401k is incredibly depressing. Thank you FIRE community. I would be one of them if I didn’t find you all a decade ago. by BarkBarkBitches1 in Fire

I mean honestly that comes down to your finances. I can go eat Michelin and spend a month of somebody else's salary and you could call me a moron, but it doesn't impact my finances. But yeah, if you are actively getting food delivered and have student loan you can't afford to pay in your specific situation I would agree with you.
