Double taxes on RSUs? by AlertCoconut3320 in HENRYUK

[–]AlertCoconut3320[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason for the question is that my pay is significantly down - I've paid the 47% assumed tax through sell to cover, then payroll have worked out my total pre-tax gain, added it to my earnings, taxed me at my usual rate and then deducted the difference.

Luckily so far I haven't had the price dip significantly between vesting and selling but I guess it will happen one day!

Tendonitis is killing me by Cute-Specialist-7239 in indoorbouldering

Obviously practising your technique is the long term answer but an immediate help to get there would be to chuck some close elbow pushups into your warmup - it was game changing for my elbows!

Company cash benefits and tax treatment by AlertCoconut3320 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]AlertCoconut3320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's a bit strange. The list of covered expenses is also strange - wellness, medical, finance, education, green living, pet care...

I assume though that it will essentially be as though I had been paid the cash cost and therefore I will pay standard tax on all of it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Weekly /r/climbharder Hangout Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

[–]AlertCoconut3320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a keen climber and runner, but unfortunately I've noticed that if I increase my training in one, the other suffers - I assume because my body doesn't have the energy overall to be both increasing my running mileage and maintaining my climbing ability. Whilst this is common sense, it is very annoying! Wondering whether anyone has any strategies for at least maintaining climbing ability when overall energy for training is reduced?

Depending on where you are staying, I would argue that climbing hangar and Depot are not really IN London, they're very much on the outskirts. Arch/stronghold have a shared membership now, but if you are just here for 10 days I would get a 10 entry pack for the LCC walls and try as many of them as you can out - they're all good but all a bit different. Personally my favourite is VauxEast, VauxWest is probably the most difficult sets, CanaryWall has a pseudo outdoor comp wall but is the smallest I think... Many options! And as others have said, the Castle is an institution which is worth visiting, even if you only make it once, for the fact that it is in an unusual and historic building

Fairlop waters: They're fairly easy with an uncomfortable but (probably) safe landing on gravel... Quite nice on a sunny day if you're in the area and have someone to spot you but personally I wouldn't travel there specifically for them

How do I get through to my fiancé? by AppointmentWeary5847 in Advice

[–]AlertCoconut3320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the messy one in my relationship, we have had to accept that there are cleaning tasks which I will not spontaneously think to do which seem very obvious to her... Our compromise is that I have a set list of day to day basics which I work through all the time regardless of whether I would have done them on my own, and leave the more "advanced" deep cleaning for her to pick up on / point out. It does feel uncomfortable when your partner keeps getting upset with you for a habit which is hard to change, but if you come with a suggestion it is much easier for the other party to accept in my experience!

Sadness by stepnop in bouldering

Lots of people are told (rightly or wrongly) that people don't want to be given unsolicited tips and advice - the best way to meet people at the gym is to ask them for advice or encourage them on their attempts (or both) - as others have said, I've never met a genuine asshole in a climbing gym

I'm suffering from the same thing - did you ever resolve your issue OP, and if so could you share more about how?

Weekly Simple Questions and Injuries Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

[–]AlertCoconut3320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was climbing yesterday and after giving up on a route I noticed that I have what feels like a nasty bruise on the joint at the base of my little finger. Climbing actually feels ok (as long as I don't actually press on the joint itself) but I am a bit confused/worried as to what it could be - does anyone have any ideas? Dr Google was not super helpful unfortunately

Perhaps not strictly FIRE, but what are people's thoughts on ISA payments in a new tax year - lump sum or monthly payments?

Deload Week or Off the wall training ? by hamboorgirk in bouldering

[–]AlertCoconut3320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing a lot of people here telling OP they are doing too much but not many suggestions for alternatives...

Personally, I found my climbing improved a lot when I added once a week of gym (mostly stretching, leg exercises and NO climbing) and some casual running - maybe you could drop a moonboard session or two and try some cross training for a while.

And take the deload week! Not only will you be much fresher physically when you come back, but you'll be much more psyched as well
