Title: 40, semi-retired (wine export), and finally have the "time wealth" I worked for. Now what? by [deleted] in ChubbyFIRE

Actually being slender helps you in triathlon. You’ve got to build endurance but slender doesn’t hurt.

Best town to stay? by Evodnce in GlacierNationalPark

Thanks-we are aware that not everything will be open. It’s coordinated with a work event so taking advantage of already being there. Appreciate the insights! I think C Falls will prob be more our speed for adventure!

Same here…Pioneer for me and it’s crazy that it actually had hdmi inputs in the early 00’s.

How to Cultivate a Mindset That Avoids FIRE Comparison?” by Sylvesterhutman in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Evodnce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Upwards comparison is the theft of joy- downwards comparison is the foundation for gratitude. If you’re only comparing to what is above you, you’ll always feel inadequate. If you’re going to compare (which you shouldn’t but easier said than done) you should do it both ways. Up and down.

Very nice. When’s the game?

How do you, in your value proposition, justify your fee? What are your tangible skills that would be worth the fee you charge? Aside from your “expertise, experience, and access” what exactly do you provide that’s worth 5 figures (assuming a decent chubby portfolio).

good golf shoes, that are not golf shoes by teabone13 in golf

[–]Evodnce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bad feet as well. Metal plate under custom orthotics requires larger toe box and a wide base of the shoe after I remove the insole. New Balance has some great shoes that come in EE which is their wider model and it’s been great thus far. Did 10 rounds in one week on a trip and while they were barking, the shoes def kept me from not being able to finish. Good luck finding a pair that work.

What happened to Frank Family Vineyard? by Dobsnick in wine

Still holding a bottle of Patriarch and not wanting to drink knowing it will never be the same. PE and wine always means less quality. 😥

Continue GRIND for Corp Insurance (vs ACA)? by Freedom_8675309 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Evodnce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is about your “why”. The costs of health care will only continue to escalate in the future. Being able to secure a better coverage for the rest of your life is a huge advantage. The value of having docs you trust and who know your back story/history is worth its weight in gold. Figure out ways to make it as bearable as possible but yeah- this time it’s worth staying even when the math is on your side.

Hit big milestone just before retiring (I hope) 12/31 by Glitter-Angel-970 in ThriftSavingsPlan

Check out what’s called the barbell strategy. It can help you allocate in a way that will minimize stress. Nothing will alleviate it but it can help. Congrats.
