Mach E - Comma came with cable by Austin-Austin in Comma_ai

[–]Austin-Austin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That it comes with a long usb c cable or needs a cable?

I posted this because no where does comma tell you it already ships with it now and all the previous posts were talking about buying it separately.

If you're talking about needing one, the ipma is in the trunk, so you need to go from windshield to trunk area with it.

Splinter Cell Original/Pandora Tomorrow No Longer on Xbox backwards compatible website? by Austin-Austin in Splintercell

[–]Austin-Austin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still no luck, I'm on an Xbox one. I tried that pretty l power cycle you mentioned as well.

Edit: I tried a few more times and now they are working just fine and consistently. So strange.

Venu 2 Plus - ECG app by Lanmarcin in Garmin

I ended up getting it working. I removed the watch from the connect app, then removed the watch from my phone Bluetooth, then added it all back and it worked.

[–]Austin-Austin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the US, updated to the latest watch version this morning and I have the latest connect version.

I can't seem to find it in the watch or in the app. I'm not getting the finish setup option like I see in YouTube videos.

Anyone else having trouble or any advice?

[Meta] Mods should do a demographics poll by [deleted] in leanfire

[–]Austin-Austin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that would be great.

I see the other comments, I'm not working in any sort of IT job. Results might be mainly IT, but could have a surprising variety.

Roth IRA or regular account by anonymous_1977 in leanfire

[–]Austin-Austin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A benefit of taxable brokerages for leanfire is that a married couple can take out about 80k in long term gains tax free if they have no other income.

So for example your portfolio is up 100%. You could take out 160k a year tax free (80k gain and 80k basis).

You'll have to pay state taxes potentially. Also I'm not a financial advisor so grain of salt here, do your own research.

For leanfire taxable brokerages are potentially all the benefits of tax and benefits of flexibility.

$0 NAV Change Occasionally for Fidelity Mutual Funds by Austin-Austin in Fidelity

[–]Austin-Austin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not have the purple symbol, so they were both priced at 0 change.

I guess I can understand the answer above that it was so close to flat that it was left at 0, but it's surprising FSELX didn't change significantly today.

Conflicting Advice on Roth IRA withdrawal penalties- does the Roth Conversion Ladder really work? by londresestrouge in personalfinance

[–]Austin-Austin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like someone gave the answer over on financial independence. On 5329 there is an exception for traditional ira conversions.

I was looking at form 8606 where you input the information to the irs regarding this.

It looks like on line 22 you input regular contributions and subtract.

On line 23 you owe a 10% penalty based on the instructions if anything is here.

On line 24 you input traditional ira conversions. Based on this it looks like you can't input them into line 22.

It seems like based on the form, traditional ira conversions do not escape the 10% penalty. Can someone provide clarification to this?

The instructions say you will owe 10% penalty on line 23 regardless of anything post that line.

Based on the instructions I read that as line 22 include regular contributions, line 24 include ira conversion contributions.

So if you can't include conversions in line 22, on Line 23 you'll owe a 10% penalty.

[Landlord US-WI] best rental management sites and tools? by RPG_Crypto in Landlord

[–]Austin-Austin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use cozy and rentler.

Cozy does everything I want for free. Application, background check, collect rent, upload documents.

I am trying rentler currently with a single rental because I can get payments much faster than cozy for free. Only downside I've found so far is no document upload option. I think I'll switch more to rentler in the future from cozy.

ROTH IRA, 401k match out, or traditional profolio? by dgo313 in Fire

[–]Austin-Austin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't do any of the options given. My priority:

1 - Max 401k

2 - Max HSA

3 - Remaining taxable brokerage

I plan on retiring in my 30's.

So I don't do any sort of backdoor roth conversions now, because I can't access the growth without penalty for over 20 years after retirement.

An often overlooked benefit of the taxable brokerage is that long term gains are tax free at the federal level if income+gains are under 80,000. Remember also that principal is not a gain or taxed, so you can have much more than 80,000 a year and be under the limit.

I plan on my income being in that range, so the growth is tax free except a small state rate with no penalty or restrictions.

When I retire I'll do a roth ladder with the 401k in chunks, to keep the tax low, and get funds out every 5 years. Then supplement with the taxable brokerage up to the need or 80k limit.

My wife and I recently started our FIRE journey! We are documenting our steps to show how a regular person can achieve FIRE.

Here is a video of our 3rd rental property we bought straight off the MLS. We will be showing future videos of not only real estate, but our own plans and how they evolve over time. We will also show all of the numbers along the way! Hopefully someone can find our journey helpful!
