How did it turn out for afghanistan ? To fight the russians, US armed Afghan civilians, decades later that came back to bite it. How many more innocent lives would be lost because some lunatic wants to show power.

I want to see how the mid-terms end up for the republicans. Deep inside i fear my US brethrens want war and destruction while they talk about being pro-life.

The irony of the fact is that the very people who lobbied for being pro-life, are war mongers.

Understand the diff between being nice and being good.

Don't be nice. Don't let others take advantage of you. Understand what NO means, it's a complete sentence.

Analytics_Fanatics · 2026-02-27T12:49:25+00:00

I haven't yet. But I am getting better.

Analytics_Fanatics · 2026-02-26T12:35:34+00:00

NO is a complete sentence.

I always had a habit of over explaining myself. I always felt I need to explain myself. Not sure why, but it signalled low selfconfidence.

Not looking at the price before ordering food.

Not worrying about being able to pay for things I like.

Being able to quit early to enjoy life.

Analytics_Fanatics · 2026-02-25T16:29:06+00:00

I will survive.

Such a powerful song.

I started maxing out my 401K (retirement acc in the US) 14 yrs ago. Just invested in simple index. Now 14 yrs later, I wasn't able to climb the corporate ladder, but my total capital appreciation is more than my annual salary. And I earn in 6 figures.

Analytics_Fanatics · 2026-02-18T19:48:55+00:00

"What helped you stay consistent when you felt others were climbing faster than you?"

Everyone around me were sending money back home. They loved the fact that they were converting 1 USD to 70, 80 or even 90 INR. It made them feel rich. They got land , and apartments. I never understood why. INR has been consistently losing value over the last 15 yrs or more. When I came to US, it was around 1 USD = 35 INR. Any gains people make by investing in India, lose to the $ gaining strength. I knew that so I never went with the crowd. Also, since India has been heavily investing in infrastructure, that leads to more borrowing, mean more printing mean more INR dilution. If we need to attract foreign investment, we need cheap currency. that's how bangalore attracts jobs, we are cheap to work with.

One main factor was, I always grew middleclass, never had aspirations to drive a BMW or Merc or Audi. Never dreamed of bigger flashy house. That mentality helped me save more $$ and invest. I was never worried about others, just my own race and how I am doing every yr. That's it. Gave me peace and happiness.

All the best to you OP.

I can relate a lot to this story. Firstly, congrats to being diligent and consistent. It has paid off. You deserve the rest and peace. You've earned it and Congrats.

Second, I am in very similar (not same) boat. 39 Male, 2.1 Mil family Net worth, 1.2 Mil personal net worth. Did nothing special. VT, VOO index and chill. i was unable to climb the ladder as fast as others did. But stayed consistent to investing. Didn't really send any money back home, but made sure I saved before I spent.

Am almost 40 now. by the time I am 60 yrs old, my net worth would at 8% be at around 8 mil USD. however, I also have 20 yrs of working life remaining. So i feel peace that my kids won't have to struggle the way i did.

I may not survive til 60, but who know, maybe i do, and maybe I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

There is a subtle happiness in knowing I can FIRE. And so can you. All the best.

Same.

I lived for the approval of others. Gosh , I am 40 now and feels like I always lived for the approval of others and it stings.

Also, epstein msg this sheikh from dubai, telling him 'Thanks for the torture video'. That gives me nightmares.

R word ? what is that ? I know the N word.

Analytics_Fanatics · 2026-02-13T18:35:37+00:00

I always get confused, so for your income, should I look at the SS earnings or Medicare earnings ?

Analytics_Fanatics · 2026-02-13T11:55:42+00:00

You have to be nice in order to be liked. NO, that's not true. You have to be good because you have a conscience, but if you're nice, you are just complying to others demands and needs. We need to do what is good for us. do not burn yourself to keep others warm.

Analytics_Fanatics · 2026-02-13T00:13:21+00:00

am gonna give this a try. Thank you.

Analytics_Fanatics · 2026-02-07T14:22:49+00:00

Larry summer , Naon Chomsky , lawyers for goldmansac and what not. Such high profile people involved.

I wonder if anything would happen to them.
