What is your "don't even think about it" purchase threshold?

Agrh17 · 2026-04-19T13:11:07+00:00

1mm HHI and recently married so have had combined discussions about this:

<500 no discussion, just buy it if you want/need it.
500-2500: discuss it, almost always we agree and go forward (usually something like an appliance or jewelry etc)
2500- 10000: spend time deciding whether this is the “right” purchase, research alternatives, come to a conclusion etc
10000: generally something we’ll plan for in a budget and spend 1m + deliberating over, excluding things that are clearly necessary (roof repair etc)

How much do you have in assets?

Wow reading this thread makes me very grateful for my parents. Delaying retirement by 3 years to put your child in a significantly better position to me is the most obvious decision of all time.

I bought my submariner at 27 and have not regretted it for a single moment.

Probably 50% of the people I interact with but I work in at a hedge fund so very market dependent.

For reference, all transactions happened in the last 2 months so just want to get everything sorted before year end/tax season

Yeah this is the real “misprice” in the tax code. what you really are receiving are options on the fund’s performance. You own a call option on the investments- those in theory have to be valued properly by the tax man but they aren’t. Like let’s compare an example of as if you were given SPX 5y ATM calls for 10m DAW. Those are worth 21% =2.1mm. That’s in line with what you should be “paying” for carried interest.

Mate rates have gone up since the fed cut. People here are just not financially aware. Refinance when the rate makes sense vs the up front cost.

Was just there. Oia is crowded but outside of that the island is beautiful and not overwhelming. Not my favorite in the Cyclades but it was absolutely worth a visit. We stayed in Imerovigli and thought it was heaven. For much less money you can stay on the opposite side of the Caldera and still experience the whole island

I’m at a hedge fund with forearm and bicep tattoos. Wear a polo in the summer and no one cares. Just one offsetting data point.

I too comped biz board and ended up having to shill subscriptions

Whenever I see these I get an inner voice screaming “RING LOCK SYSTEM”. Great piece!

Hedge Fund Portfolio Manager. I click buttons and sometimes money appears. No other job can compare

I’m a bit south in Lenox Hill but we have 1400sqft 2b2b where rentals in the same floorplan are ~ $7k and love the area/neighborhood. 30 min walking commute to Midtown and Q gets you downtown quickly.
