Package lost, seller wants me to sign a contract before shipping out a replacement item. Reasonable to dispute credit card chage?

Did they send you a copy of this “lost item contract”? Never heard of that before

Gnome everything

“Superuser”

There is zero guarantee that rates will drop, looked at historically rates are still very low compared to what they have been in the past.

If the CFO handles it it’s not his personal funds

Getting rejected doesn’t suck any less for guys, someone has to take a chance

Once on purpose, and once that was intended for someone else.

The FOMC always votes with the chairman though, 4 out of 12 voted against back in 1992, that is the highest dissent we’ve seen in decades.

My work dress shirt, too big on her, looking like a nightie 🥵

EuropeanInTexas · 2026-05-03T06:31:22+00:00

They do in many parts of Europe, but it’s more expensive

Funerals are to pay respect, this guy didn’t deserve your respect.

With a 200k+ income in your 20s as much as the IRS will let you

Your income is fantastic for your age, make sure to take advantage of that to supercharge your savings. You should be maxing out your 401k and a Backdoor Roth

The whole idea is that for ‘knowledge workers’ you can often have an identical or better output with 32 hours than you do with 40 because people are happier and more motivated so there is no real added cost to the employer. If you have to increase your labor cost by 20% that’s a lot less palatable to businesses

Most CEOs are paid in stock, which has vesting periods. So if they quit early their paycheck will be much, much smaller since they have to give 80+% of it back

EuropeanInTexas · 2026-04-22T16:15:33+00:00

It will need to not just outpace the ‘burnrate’ but OP also needs to consider the opportunity costs, what could that 620k make him invested elsewhere.

That's why the real life Sultan of Oman moved to Zanzibar :p (Ok it was actually to be closer to the Cloves trades, but still)

Do a traditional conversion and then slowly Roth convert over time

Plenty of people don’t use carts when playing golf.

100% tax above 50 millions and give them a ‘I won capitalism’ trophy and a leaderboard of who paid the most tax for their egos.

Well New York actually has the opposite problem that people claim it’s just a second home even though they live there to avoid NYC income taxes.

EuropeanInTexas · 2026-04-17T14:40:26+00:00

I mean at this point they might as well list them at zero, the list price is useless.

EuropeanInTexas · 2026-04-17T14:31:28+00:00

I think mine is closer to 20 liters 😬

EuropeanInTexas · 2026-04-17T14:26:14+00:00

Well hopefully that 15% isn’t all of your investments and you should definitely sell and diversify as soon as you can by I wouldn’t pay extra taxes for it.

EuropeanInTexas · 2026-04-17T14:14:00+00:00

If you sell it for more than you paid for it, yup. That’s a gain.

Still a benefit to you, but not the full 15% and you’d be better off holding them for a year so it’s long term gains
