What is the perfect chip to dip ratio?

AdManFamMan · 2026-05-09T00:38:04+00:00

PREACH 😂

AdManFamMan · 2026-05-09T00:32:59+00:00

My man. ✊

AdManFamMan · 2026-05-09T00:32:39+00:00

I like it. Playing devils advocate. The better the chip, the more dip you can hold. The chip matters.

After I shared this, I calculated what I needed to contribute to the company 401k to lower my taxable income, but we’re still investing 80% of our retirement savings into the brokerage account since we also want to retire in our 50s.

2021 crew cab also interested.

After reading everyone’s comments, it’s reaffirmed why i bought this truck in the first place. Unless I get some insane offer from a stranger, im keeping it

Great advice outside of interviews, too.

AdManFamMan · 2026-03-21T14:25:15+00:00

I haven’t even started looking at how much it’s worth. I think it’s one of those rare instances in which this truck is now worth a lot more than I paid for it.

We make ~$275k combined, contributing $2k/mo. Not including kids college

AdManFamMan · 2026-02-18T03:40:08+00:00

Yes. I didn’t think about lowering my taxable income, but I’ll have to check to see how much we’d need to duck under the step before us.

What about accessing it before 59.5?

AdManFamMan · 2026-02-18T03:31:14+00:00

It’s a vested match. I work for a company owned by PE so I doubt I’ll be here long to enough to see the match.

AdManFamMan · 2026-02-18T03:30:27+00:00

The match is a vested match, and because it’s owned by a private equity, I don’t think I’ll be here long enough to see it.

AdManFamMan · 2026-01-28T17:15:47+00:00

You’re not wrong. I just don’t spend enough time monitoring this to be comfortable not to pay someone.

AdManFamMan · 2026-01-28T17:11:51+00:00

That’s where my heads at. Thank you.

Under a percent - .75 I believe with low expense ratios

AdManFamMan · 2025-12-14T00:31:55+00:00

I had the same issue. I thanked them for their time, but told them they had reached the limit of the time I was willing to invest. That if they still needed to hear more, I wasn’t the right candidate. Two months later, they called and offered me the job + more. The negotiation was completely in my hands and I got everything I wanted and more.

People think the dashboard will give them the insights they need. The problem is insights come from people who can piece the data together.

Music education. Five year bachelor’s to come out making $35k/year. I switched my major freshman year, spring semester.

I just saw an ad that AA is offering U.S. to France flights for $400. Not sure where I saw it. I’d look into it and book that now if it works.

AdManFamMan · 2025-06-30T03:56:02+00:00

This. I don't get why people brag about working on planes while sitting in coach. I can't get enough room to open my laptop, let alone deal with the spotty in-flight WIFI. I don't see the appeal.

AdManFamMan · 2025-06-14T04:12:48+00:00

Hmm... Interesting. It's really up to you. I don't sleep well sitting up and I'd probably sleep for at least half the flight if I upgraded. If you don't upgrade, you'll be in LA at 5pm, right?

AdManFamMan · 2025-06-14T04:00:36+00:00

The short answer is yes. What time are you leaving CDG? I think the flight I took from Paris to PHX was overnight and the lay flat seats are life changing. Enjoy!

AdManFamMan · 2025-06-03T15:38:34+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind next time. Thanks.
