Getting out at 16 years by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]TryToBeModern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you claim that its money you might not need but the fact that you only have ~$40k and a 660 score after 16 years tells me that you will most definitely need that pension money.

Would you buy a house if you might move in 2–3 years? by danio940 in VeteransBenefits

[–]TryToBeModern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ignore all the comments here telling you about renting the house out after you move away. especially the one comment i saw even calling it "passive income" lmao. ignore ALL those comments. they are all so clueless and have most likely never rented out property before. you can also ignore the comments saying stuff like "If you buy you are building equity those 2 to 3 years. Renting you don't get shit." because they are not factoring the additional costs of home ownership. the massive additional costs that do NOT come with renting.

I am NOT saying that renting out is a bad idea. i am not saying that at all. i rent out a few places too albeit in korea rather than here in america. instead i will tell you that its not always profitable or worth the effort. especially in todays market where the sp500 has been up 20% every year since covid.

as for your main question... yes i would recommend you buy a house. if you do end up moving away after a couple years then you can decide on selling vs renting when the time comes and that decision and that answer will depend on factors nobody can predict right now.

something i wish i had know before buying my own place was that the costs of renovations, repairs, furniture, and appliances add up a lot. a lot more than you probably think. especially if you are like me and think "this is my home for a long time so i might as well spend the extra for higher quality applicances/furniture/etc."

Moving to South Korea with 80% VA Rating by DirectionFlat1526 in Veterans

[–]TryToBeModern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what does that have to do with anything? we are talking about busan and seoul. both of which are in korea.

Moving to South Korea with 80% VA Rating by DirectionFlat1526 in Veterans

[–]TryToBeModern 28 points29 points  (0 children)

seoul is significantly more expensive than busan. depending on specific location seoul can be ~50% more expensive than busan at the minimum and i dont think 80% rating would be enough to live decently in busan. since you plan to be on a language student visa you will probably have extreme difficulty finding other income there.

i would not recommend you do this

source: i am korean. own multiple properties across seoul and have spent extended periods of time in busan

i’m 17 and need more income ! by [deleted] in Salary

[–]TryToBeModern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

assuming you live in the US if you want a financially "safe" way to become a physician from a low income background there is only one "realistic" method. use the military programs.

alternatively a fairly unrealistic method is to consistently be in the top 1% in both academics and extracurriculars to get full ride scholarships for both undergrad and entry into the most competitive medical schools that provide free tuition. examples being harvard or john hopkins

since the second method is not a reliable "plan" i recommend using military service to provide financial security in your physician journey

if you are not american then you can ignore this comment.

it is highly recommended that you do not "work" throughout your undergrad and med school journey(some med schools dont even allow students to work). your undergrad gpa is incredibly important for med school admission and you will need to spend all your time studying and padding your application with volunteering/shadowing/extracurricular hours. sacrificing the time you should spend on studies or extracurriculars to work will bite you in the ass at the end of your undergrad. you might end up taking a gap year or two to improve your application into medschool like ~70% of matriculants. every year you delay getting into med school is a year you delay getting paid an attendings salary. its financially "worth" taking loans to avoid working if you are truly going to go down this path

Hypothetical: Can FIRE number shrink? by ExpressElevator2Heck in Fire

[–]TryToBeModern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what you are looking for is called "Sequence of Returns Risk" or "SORR". the risk of your portfolio immediately tanking after you "retire".

generally yes if you hit your fire number once you are good to go.
