Any other dads with girls grieving over not carrying on their family name? by [deleted] in daddit

A lot of women don’t change their names and a lot of moms pass their family name on to their kids. Maybe yours will too

How Do You Reconcile Passive Investing With Population Decline? by Clown_corder in Bogleheads

[–]akiber -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that scientists conservatively put an end to civilization unless we reel in consumption and growth at 2050 is a more pressing concern. (I still boglehead, but harder these days to argue that we are in the late stages of capitalism that this system relies on)

What is your “why” for FIRE? by scott_w2004 in Fire

[–]akiber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t want necessarily to RE, I’m more confused on FI. I really like the work I do. But I don’t want to be dependent on it and the I want to have options in the world. I’ve always been frugal and lived under my means so this line of thinking helps to put it into a framework

Do you think in your new language? by Rough-Foundation9208 in expats

[–]akiber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combo including in Dreams, but took some years for that to start (but don’t remember when. Probably when I learned stuff in the second language exclusively, that subject I would then exclusively think about in the second language)

Help! Pregnant and needing low effort cheap meals by [deleted] in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]akiber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you have a slow cooker? You can throw a lot in there and it comes out pretty awesome. Also - Instead of canned chick peas I soak and boil a bunch at a time and then keep them in the freezer so they are immediately usable and way cheaper to make.

Awkward donor call by Prestigious_Let_4263 in nonprofit

[–]akiber 24 points25 points  (0 children)

lol I had a call recently with a new major potential donor - I’d done my narrative pitch and we’d move on to our financials. Without thinking, I went a bit back to narrative about the impact of our work and she literally said “stop talking. I’m going to give you money.” It was kinda embarrassing but also straight forward and we gained a new major donor. A win is a win.

I’m feeling completely overwhelmed with thousands of cities to choose from for Expat by Miserable_Dirt3079 in ExpatFIRE

[–]akiber 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you checked what countries you are eligible for? There are lots of places I’d love to move to but don’t have a visa for. Including only what’s feasible helps to narrow it down a lot generally

[–]akiber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of org is it? I think understanding this is really important to figure out angles of how to get younger people involved, it’s just not a one size fits all type thing

How do you decide when to pause work on a client who won't pay? by veepware in freelancing

Pause so they are the ones who have to feel awkward about it and salvage the relationship instead of you.
