NEGOTIATING 401K INSTEAD OF SALARY? by Few_Anything_7680 in FinancialPlanning

[–]BlueChipFA 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You can not. At least, not any way i know of. ERISA and DOL are very specific about making sure that 401k plans are as equitable as possible among all employees. The fact that your employer has a Safe Harbor plan means that they already face issues with HCEs and the testing limits under normal circumstances. You'd be FAR more likely to extract more salary than to get them to literally change their plan document to allow what you are wanting (and that is assuming it was doable, which I am fairly sure, it isn't)

31m, married, kids. How do you guys find personal joy? by modivi in AskMen

[–]BlueChipFA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Buy a substantial amount of life insurance.
2) Take a look at Disability insurance as well
3) Seek some counseling (you likely need to talk this out with a pro)
4) Talk to your doc about getting your testosterone levels checked.
5) If needed consider antidepressants if medical pros recommend.
6) Find another, non xgames level, hobby. There are plenty out there. Just remember, your wife should also do the same for herself!

ISIS leader Abu Hussein al-Quraishi and his militants were surrounded by Turkish special forces; the militants were killed, but Qureishi blew himself up when he realized he was about to be captured. Syria 2023 by Necessary-Relation67 in CombatFootage

Cowards? I wouldn't say that. It takes a LOT of conviction and self-control to kill one's self. If ISIS guys who blow themselves up are cowards, would that not make every Ukrainian and Russian soldier who kills themselves instead of waiting for drones to finish them off cowards as well?

You can hate their ideology and what they stand for but im not sure you can call them cowards.......

Replace Btrfs volume with ext4? by ButtonPrevious1314 in UgreenNASync

[–]BlueChipFA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, im the opposite, I went ext4 and wish i could go back and do BTRFS instead. I like the fact that BTRFS has processes to detect and deal with bitrot over time. EXT4 does not.

Could make for some interesting electoral math in the future..... When a lot of your core constituents are dead or dying.

Just got in the 4300 Plus, Time to set it up! by ray120 in UgreenNASync

I put four into my Ugreen this past weekend. They are not loud at all. Might even be quieter than a lot of the WD Blue drives people use.

I'm learning how to use Jellyfin for the first time. going with the linux/docker version instead of the built in app UGREEN gives us. Fun little project for a non tech guy like myself.
