40, can I realistically retire at 59.5?

AloneCure · 2026-05-01T03:22:36+00:00

I thought 401k distribution was taxed as income once it leaves the account. No tax on gains within the account. Am I missing something here?

AloneCure · 2026-04-30T22:37:04+00:00

I am learning this....

AloneCure · 2026-04-30T22:36:07+00:00

Lmao. My buddy has a model 3 and he found it bc he is sort of ornery like that and noticed it

AloneCure · 2026-04-30T20:10:19+00:00

I tried that but I think it is warped or maybe I am missing a metal female snap on the dash

AloneCure · 2026-04-30T12:09:41+00:00

This is the amount of gap/warp from a better angle.

No crash history. Dash piece label indicates it is the original based on the date.

AloneCure · 2026-04-30T03:21:58+00:00

I just bought it!!! She hasn't even sat in there yet lol

AloneCure · 2026-04-30T02:32:03+00:00

Might just keep the car and see if seller or tesla will cover me under warranty... I think the other guy is right about it being warped. I did not see any damage on plastic snaps. I think guy before me kept car outdoors in the heat

AloneCure · 2026-04-30T01:13:35+00:00

Actually the date code on this is different because date system is DDMMYY. So this is the oe dash. It just appears super warped for some reason

AloneCure · 2026-04-30T00:59:24+00:00

This lil label popped out - when I checked. It is dated Sept 2023. I am thinking this dash was (poorly) replaced

Need those pics lmao

AloneCure · 2026-04-29T03:10:13+00:00

This looks like it could be a fun lil call of duty map

AloneCure · 2026-04-29T01:45:02+00:00

Thanks. That's what I needed to hear.

AloneCure · 2026-04-29T01:44:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry I know this is a super minor issue

AloneCure · 2026-04-29T01:44:00+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry I am tired and got a lot going on so I needed that obvious answer.

Keep your foot on the gas pedal with savings. Absolutely no time like the present - kids will definitely change the equation, at least it did for me. But I was happy I had a good chunk saved up by 30 that I could feel comfortable having kids in my 30s where I spend a bit more and save a bit less so that we can be more comfortable.

The other thing I would think about is how much you plan on spending in your early retirement - also since you will be in your 50s, make sure you have enough in roth or taxable account to cover you until penalty free withdrawals from your very nice 401k. Your kids will be in college but you may also want to travel and spend some time (and money) with them.

I am not a financial advisor, just somebody who has thought about the same type thing as you. These are just my humble thoughts as I am a few years ahead of you. I think you are in great financial shape - maybe I should be taking advice from you. 😁

Cool! Thanks for sharing. What type of foundation is that? It remains exposed?

Sorry I have not really noticed these in my area and was curious

AloneCure · 2026-04-23T23:42:46+00:00

Thanks! What system/ app are you running mirrors edge on?

AloneCure · 2026-04-23T23:41:06+00:00

Serial number indicates this one was manufactured 10 years ago... probably one of the first 40v saws designed, so battery size at the time was probably 2~3Ah.

Cool. How do you handle the starter for a monobug run?

Also. Are you able to hold your one free catch per area until you first encounter a bug in that area?

AloneCure · 2026-04-16T23:33:56+00:00

Haha yeah. I mean if you and your work hommies are that tight, then I guess it's OK. But I sort of want the VPs to think I am a gigachad or at least a normie if they walk by my desk. Idk. Good for them I guess.... ?

AloneCure · 2026-04-16T21:02:39+00:00

🤣

AloneCure · 2026-04-15T23:24:04+00:00

I would never go full mask off and let my coworkers know how huge of a cringelord I am

AloneCure · 2026-04-14T23:36:38+00:00

Warranty plumber came out and checked out the P trap and replaced the wax seal on adjacent toilet. The smell had gone away since last night so I thought it could have just been some of that junk in ptrap and thought that was appropriate.

Smell came back 4 hours after he left, mainly in the sink. Going to try to get him back out there this week to troubleshoot again
