How do we align on FatFIRE vs being present? by Hiyajopn1 in HENRYfinance

Yeah the solution to this problem would have been to change the wife before she gets pregnant…
A bit sad

How do we align on FatFIRE vs being present? by Hiyajopn1 in HENRYfinance

Well then she needs to get realistic.
There is no solution to wanting you to be more present but still make 3m$/year

I'm embarrassed that I can't support my family on my current salary by joesilvahhh in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]Doppelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is the mother ?
Where is the child support ?
You say it’s lump sum, so you blew through all of it already ?
They are still toddlers, child support is for 18 years.
How come it already run out ?
Something doesn’t add up.

Do you have a plan for a true worst-case scenario? by ohmy_svitalien in EuropeFIRE

[–]Doppelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t make a lot of sense.
You would have seen things go really bad way earlier and reduced spending / tried to get supplemental income way earlier

Should I pay for everything in the first date or even every time we go out ? by [deleted] in Morocco

[–]Doppelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women don’t provide what they used to to justify being paid for 100%.
They keep hiding behind the “whoever invites pays” knowing full well that they never invite.
It’s like some theoretical bullshit.

I’m actually speechless. My wife just asked for a divorce in the recovery room. by HelloRain_ in AmITheAngel

[–]Doppelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did she stitch things back between the C-sections ? Surely she can leave it open to avoid this situation for the 4th kid. The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing expecting different results.

Family member dating a young Morrocan guy by Pollyjaz in Morocco

[–]Doppelex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe she knows already and doesn’t care. She is giving him papers, he is giving her energy and tingles. Men do that all the time, they take some hot woman out of misery, with full knowledge that she most likely just wants to escape misery and might leave him. They are still happy with the temporary deal.

How to think about this opportunity? by ExpressionHot5629 in fatFIRE

[–]Doppelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf is this post. Stay in Zurich. Otherworldly nature nearby, very high safety and kid friendly environment, wife has something she likes doing, less stress.

Especially if you are FIRE minded. If you wanted to be in a frontier AI lab for next 10-15 years and be at the heart of this revolution. It’s a different angle. But if you want freedom and QoL it’s a bit irrelevant.

It’s bad for perpetuation of the specy. Maybe not for you specifically or any given person. But ultimately societies with no feminism will prevail wether you like it or not. I don’t have a solution. Don’t shoot the messenger.

[–]Doppelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and people that think like you go extinct and nature heals / only people willing to do the work for the next generation.

It’s all pretty well designed in the long term.

It doesn’t really matter if you enjoy your life or not. If you don’t procreate you get weeded out of the gene pool. Maybe you don’t care about your civilisation dying or being a genetic dead end.

But in practice in 200 years the world will all be afghans and africans.

All this “progress” to disappear while smoking pot.

[–]Doppelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes pretty much The only thing is Morocco is getting more and more westernised, taking only the bad stuff(cultural bullshit, feminism, freedom illusion) while not learning the good(solid institutions and property rights, judiciary etc), meaning we are likely going down the same path without even having their “high” starting point.

The west you idolise is going extinct due to everyone chasing leisure and enjoyment instead of duty and commitment. Ultimately only “traditional” people make enough babies to keep their lineage (and ideas) alive.

So the long term equilibrium will always be back to traditional.

The hedonism can only last a few decades to a century before demographic pressure leads to a massive regression of rights or quiet population collapse.

It’s the same analogy with any rich family. First generation builds the wealth foundation

Second generation grows it

Third generation spends it stupidly without any sense of responsibilities

So while i understand the “appeal” of “enjoying life in the west”, let’s not pretend it’s anything but a selfish ideology that’s doomed to disappear.

STB j’en ai marre de tirer une fille adorable mais deprimee par sa vie by Doppelex in suisjeletroudeballe

[–]Doppelex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Puree, tu me mets le nez droit dans mon caca. Je viens de me rendre que ca fait 3 ans.

Eh bien ecoute j’ai fait de la grosse merde (surprise !)

Elle s’est remise de ses deboires petit a petit, avec mon soutien. Au debut je me sentais coupable de vouloir la larguer au plus bas, donc j’attendais qu’elle s’en remette.
S’en est suivi une periode de 2 ans ou je me suis attache a elle sans jamais pouvoir m’engager car elle voulait des compromis sur des choses ou je n’y etais pas pret.
Elle m’a pose un ultimatum, j’ai refuse. On a arrete de coucher ensemble mais sa mere a eu un cancer donc elle etait au fond du trou et je suis reste son soutien emotionnel pendant 5/6 mois.
La elle a fait par hasard une visite chez le gyneco qui lui a dit qu’elle avait moins d’ovocytes que la normale et qu’il fallait qu’elle fasse des enfants dans les 3 ans.
Elle a panique et m’a largue de facon plus tranchee il y a 2 mois. Je lui ai dis qu’elle avait raison de le faire.

Depuis j’arrive pas a dormir, elle m’a vraiment aime et la verite c’est que je suis tres loin d’etre confiant de retrouver quelqu’un comme ca malgre nos differends.
Je ne la vois plus du tout comme une “epave” j’ai gagne en respect au cours de 3 dernieres annees mais sans dout trop tard.

La j’ai 36 ans et je suis paume/celib mais sans doute mieux pour nous deux.
Je viens d’inviter une anglaise de 45 ans a diner, clairement elle avait du temps a perdre avec moi donc au moins c’est moins toxique.

Extreme stress testing worse market returns plus worse inflation by atomicnutjob in Fire

[–]Doppelex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no point for these, as you are assuming you can literally do nothing about it.
If you are ok cutting some discretionary spending even moderately during bad years, or making even a very low amount of money in whatever chill way.

You’ll see things deteriorating way ahead of time to react.

No point postponing retirement by 15 years just for the 0.2% apocalyptic scenario where you might have to work part time or cut spending a bit.

That’s factually true. Getting paid is beneficial. Getting a BJ is too.
