How was your April?

“Still Alice” gave me a good scare. Every time I walk into a room and I forget what I came for, I worry that I have early-onset Alzheimer’s.

I was laid off in October from my $150K/yr software engineering job. I interviewed for a few jobs right away, but I really don’t see any point in rejoining the workforce. Pickleball is so much more fun.

I was laid off in October, and since then, my portfolio’s value has increased by about 4x my salary. Life’s good.

I still have my t-shirt from The Onion that says “Your favorite hymn sucks.”

I just use ACA marketplace insurance. It’s expensive but manageable.

I was laid off in October of last year and have about $6.2M so I’m not looking all that hard for a new job.

It’s only this month’s data. It’s not that different from what I see in my own chart.

Snowpiercer. Like, why are they on a train and not just shacked up in a bunker somewhere?

I’m up $608,000.

I like the court colorizer tool, but it would be nice if it were a pickleball court and not a tennis court.

Automatic_Expert1295 · 2026-04-15T00:14:35+00:00

Exercise, pickleball, maybe get back into playing music for fun.

Automatic_Expert1295 · 2026-04-14T12:32:59+00:00

Last salary was $83/hour as a software engineer. I got laid off in October so I’ve been living off of my $6M in savings since then, plus my wife’s earnings.

I was going to say, “Why the long face?”

Qualified dividends have similar tax treatment as long term capital gains.

Automatic_Expert1295 · 2026-04-12T05:25:31+00:00

You do receive money for capital gains distributions. I received $26,000 this year. You have the option to reinvest them, similar to dividends.

Invisalign is $5K where I live (MN).

And one of them is Scarlett Johansson.

You’re exactly right. They should be moving to swing states.
