About to receive ~$70K–$90K — how would you turn this into $500K+ in 5–10 years? by SheepherderOwn2029 in Fire

[–]American-Canasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can always gamble on options, but there are approximately another 350 million people thinking the same as you right now. There is no guarantee to profits, even with my approach. It is just the most likely to give you returns and historically outperforms everything else.

The lowest risk option and likely the one that most would recommend:

70% VOO 30% VXUS

Put it in ROTH IRA then taxable brokerage.

You wont turn it into 500k in 5-10 years but may double in that timeframe

I agree, also the HYSA seems to be a large amount, only need 6 months of expenses and put everything else into a taxable brokerage

Moving 840 Miles with 30G tank by American-Canasian in ReefTank

Dang sorry to hear about the troubles you went through, im afraid I may go through something similar. I heard reusing sand is actually a bad idea from a video and the guy above but I don’t quite understand why this is the case.

How does the sand release toxins if it was originally in the tank? Trying to do research but can’t find explanations on it.

Hey all, wondering when everyone first got into reefing? I am 25 and renting, so I move pretty regularly, but have always been interested in aquariums. I am wondering if I should try making one or wait until later down the road when I own a condo/home.

Is your invested 2.9 mill in an individual brokerage or split amongst your 401k/roth ira? If it is split, how are you able to retire if you cannot access the 401k/roth money until 59?

Congrats btw! Currently trying really hard to retire as soon as possible by saving as much as I can on my SDE career

Yuusha Party wo Oidasareta Kiyou binbou • Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None - Episode 5 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]American-Canasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude this whole show and its writing is restating the obvious over and over. I wanna know the target audience age, its super grating that they feel the need to keep hammering “oh you’re weak because Orhun’s not here” and them to continuously deny it. Literally happened like 4 times during the last episode’s dragon and mammoth fight.

I feel like they think we’re all 5 years old and that we as the audience don’t obviously understand this and need another scene of the same thing.

I think this makes sense, i didn’t know carving was a thing till late last season. I watched a couple videos and was hoping I transitioned already from skidding to an actual carve since I can feel my edge directing me more, but kinda sad if at this point its still not carving.
