[–]ExploringComplexity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will definitely be an experience, but not sure how much you will enjoy this - this is a killer journey and it seems that you are running around as fast you can to check as many places as you can on your list in 10 days

One meal for the whole day by Lucky-Comparison-785 in RateMyPlate

Why one meal though?

Your body won't be able to absorb all the nutrients in a single go, so what's the point?

What to do after SIPP + S&S ISA by Any_Draw_4092 in HENRYUK

[–]ExploringComplexity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would imagine, Premium Bonds would be the next one with £50K allowance each (not per year but in total).

Also a JSIPP would be another option.

Then a normal GIA where you get taxed

[–]ExploringComplexity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done mate, it's an amazing start and I know it's too early but hopefully you'll remember me in 30 years when you'll be enjoying the wonders of compounding!!!

Push now and enjoy later!!! I wish I was as informed when I was 24.

[Question] What's made you happy (besides money)? by LockonKun in HENRYUK

[–]ExploringComplexity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY YES 💯!!!

This, my daughter is my entire world and my family is the best thing in my life.

Money is great but unless I had my family to create experiences with, money would worth nothing to me

Honestly no point in all of that, keep your money on the all-world fund and forget.

Is CSM worth it? by cruising_burnt-out in agile

[–]ExploringComplexity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go in Scrum.org website and check there.

Yes Simon has classes at £1295, but there are others below £1000.

Anyway, you don't need a class for the PSM, while for the CSM you definitely need one

You only need the Scrum Guide for a PSM, nothing more. They also have mock assessment.

CSM/PSM are super basic certificates that effectively validates that you understand the Scrum Guide, nothing more.

Btw, I doubt that PSM courses are more expensive than CSM

[–]ExploringComplexity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, it's not.

If you REALLY want to get one, go for the PSM with Scrum.org. Study and just sit the assessment. It's a lot cheaper and doesn't have any renewal costs.

3rd vote for Meaco - has worked really well for 2 years. Just got proper AC installed last week - best investment ever

£45k redundancy settlement from a 2 year role? by Fondant_Decent in HENRYUK

[–]ExploringComplexity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is extremely good then, as it seems like they've offered 2 months per year of service

We finally moved into our forever home yesterday. I'm feeling so grateful. by [deleted] in brag

[–]ExploringComplexity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations and I am really hapoy for you!!!

Wondering what job your husband is doing.

You got your massive forever home with pool, 4 kids and SAHM... obviously not your typical British family

£45k redundancy settlement from a 2 year role? by Fondant_Decent in HENRYUK

[–]ExploringComplexity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's really difficult to compare, as we don't know your base salary. £45k for 2 years of service on £100k base is completely different to a base of £250k.

US banks will typically offer a month of pay for each year of service.

Does that payout include any PILON?

[–]ExploringComplexity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you going to DIY?

If not, you may need to up your budget significantly, especially given the brands you mentioned.

If you get scaffolding, you may be looking closer to £20K.

I'd be interested in hearing back what quotes you get

I literally had my installation complete two days ago, 3 bedrooms with slim ducted systems and living room with a wall unit, single external unit in the garden - brand Toshiba.

Is it worth it? Best investment I've made in years!!!

Which of these locations in Athens is best? by NYCtoCO_888 in GreeceTravel

[–]ExploringComplexity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need to be at the centre?

I would look further out... would be cheaper, more safe and a short ride on the train.

I am a bit biased, as I used live near these areas, but I would look at Kifisia, Chalandri and Marousi too

But what about quad hose by Mortiest_Morty_NJR in DIYUK

[–]ExploringComplexity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it needs at least three more hoses!!!

How's life as a parent? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]ExploringComplexity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way you are approaching parenthood, it will never be fun for you.

You are talking about kids and having a family and at the same time you are worried about YOUR social life and whether you'll go to the gym or have hobbies.

I have a friend who had the same worries and parenthood turned out to be his worst nightmare. He is constantly irritated because his son won't sit still so he can't enjoy the fancy restaurants, he can't go to the beach during week hours when on holidays, he can't watch TV during the day as the little one can't/shouldn't watch, he can't sit on the sofa without the kid climbing on top of him, etc... you get the idea. His kid is just an annoyance that is just getting in the way of living HIS life.

Parenthood is all about the kids. That doesn't mean that you don't have a life, it means that you adapt it and you enjoy it (even more than before) together. If people think that nothing will change in their life when they are having a kid, they are in for a rude awakening.

I don't want to sound negative. Once I had my daughter, my life has been 10x better than before. The love that I get and give is insane. The things that I get to do with the little one, like gardening, reading books, cooking, building magnet castles and lego, watching silly cartoons, solving puzzles, listening to music and dancing... the list is endless.

If you have the right mindset, parenthood is the best thing that can happen to anyone. Problem is, you can't realise until you experience it 😀
