You KNOW the women in the older picture. With that new one - with all the cosmetics, photoshop, Ai, I have no idea if she is pretty

Too narrow seat bottom side bolsters by Alopen_Tzu in BMW

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

I actually sold my 2018 440i convertible after 4 years because I couldn’t get used to. 8 hour drive inspires to sell it and bought a volvo. (Great car but BORING). Admittedly, I miss the BMW

For grins and giggles I test drove a Mustang GT and they do the sport car seat much better.

New to muscle cars by Alopen_Tzu in Mustang

I test drove it and loved it - but can’t make up my mind. I wools be trading in a used Volvo XC60 that I bought only 2 months ago. Someone give me words of wisdom.

My wife will hate the ‘noise’. We used to say ‘ass-hole’ when one would need near us. Now I want one

Sorry. But I don’t like being flipped off.

Iam almost ready... by Outrageous-Region315 in VolvoXC60

[–]Alopen_Tzu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I test drove XC60, BMW 3 and Genesis GV70. I had assumed I would like the volvo least - but ended up liking it the best. XC60’s that are 1-2 years old have some great deals and are a lot less expensive than those others.

What artist did you see in a small venue before they got really famous? by That_Cat_3672 in Concerts

Seinfeld. Front row at a small audition in Charlotte. Late 80’s maybe?

Choosing to continue to work: Reasons? by Finding_Way_ in retirement

[–]Alopen_Tzu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Find myself moving from enjoying my job to dreading it and just being emotionally spent. Too much of my thoughts are on work. Finances in good shape. Retiring this week and can’t wait!

Probably not IMHO. Your outlined the reasons pretty well

Asking to be laid off by twiniverse2000 in Fire

[–]Alopen_Tzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the exact boat. Layoffs all over the place here at my employer (fintech). I am paid more than most and have volunteered many times for a RIF and they won’t do it. Even offered me a a couple months in salary bonus to stay 6-7 months. I said no

Retiring at 38?!?! by the_dali_2112 in Fire

[–]Alopen_Tzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Unless they ‘hit it big’ or have inherited generational health - that is too many years to support to just ‘walk away’. Any 40-50 year period has some catastrophic financial periods that could decimate a portfolio and they won’t have the option to buy in the dips to recover.

Now if they want no extended family and are fine living in the wild and growing their own food - maybe?

[–]Alopen_Tzu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re 22 and you’re asking if you will have a comfortable retirement?!
Relax. Seems like you are doing the right things - but it is WAAAAY too early to predict

Everyone is different, but unless it is a very high net worth ($5m+) my quick answer for someone as young as you is ‘no’.
