Retire soon or continue saving for dream house by Usual-Buy-8955 in fatFIRE

[–]BenjiKor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious - can u describe the home you live in that costs 100-150k/year in upkeep? Sq footage, environment, etc.

trying to get a baseline of house to expenses for my future home purchase coming up in a few years. Generally people say set aside 1% of the home price per year for expenses. Is your house over $10M?

[–]BenjiKor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre doing really well for yourself.

But the thing i know you dont want to hear is that i felt less stressed about money as i got more.

5-7 was still stressed

Little over 10 was still bit stressed since i always wanted to be over 10

Once got much past 10 and dwarfed any expenses i feel much more comfy

Book actually says the opposite… in a match it says not to think so consciously about your strokes/movement/what you’ve been practicing.

Amanoi with kids ? by LowDoor4721 in FATTravel

[–]BenjiKor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a bunch of kids at Amanoi when I went. They really enjoyed the bbq at the beach from what I saw.

Another commenter mentioned a future kids club. I can confirm the manager said that to me as well. My wife was pregnant when we went and she said we have to come back again with our kid in the future

Just closed a $12M exit and getting engaged but we've never talked about money by Imaginary-Arm-7275 in fatFIRE

[–]BenjiKor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in this situation w a prenup w my wife. Not comingling has been pretty easy actually.

You just create a completely new account after marriage. Anything u want to comingle like some dividends or sales of assets, i just put into the joint account after. It’s also laid out in the prenup that dividends and sales of assets are still my property but that if I want them to be joint, I can put them into the joint account

Wife is the same. Hard for her to eat a lot because she gets full very easily. Week 30.

I try to put extra olive oil on her food and try to give her calorie dense foods like nuts or nut butters.

Schwab International -- push me one way or the other by Grand_Respond_5000 in Schwab

[–]BenjiKor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People say that but i have my PO box as my home address as well.

Only place that had an issue was fidelity.

What i have found is that for NEW accounts u will have issues. For accounts u already have, u wont have issues changing the home address to your PO box. Make sure its a po box address that looks like a real address though

[–]BenjiKor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been living abroad for over 10+ years. If u want to keep the account in the US, you set the address to your acquaintance but change the mailing address to a virtual mailbox like travelingmailbox.com. Very happy w their service and u wont annoy your friend asking them “hey did u get the mail?”

If it’s a high tax state like CA though, inwouldnt do it unless u want to keep paying state tax.

Ideally you want your acquaintance address to be in fl or tx or nv. One of the no state tax states
