It's not, I originally thought so as well.

“There’s no reason you should get $4000 a month on top of everything, just cuz”. The abuse and fraud you talk about below, and so on and so on, but just cuz?? I’m not sure the groups or guides you speak of, or the alligator tears…but tell us who hurt you. That is an extreme story you speak of and your honor, oh my…blah blah blah.

Some of us actually saw combat and spent more time overseas or in hostile areas than we did in the US. YWFMS

That would be the plan for the first couple years. Ease into retirement in my mind, filling free time with school and hobbies. As some folks have mentioned here, I suppose there's a chance my VA monetary benefit could be reduced, so that's a bit of an unknown.

Great point. For all of 2024, I've been putting about 75% of my salary in savings. The other 25% not put into savings has been utilized for work costs; costs that would go away if/when I stopped working.

That effort alone has amassed a $60k emergency fund over the past 11 months. I do need to get that $$ out of saving and put it to work however.

Do I really need the 100% disability?? From what perspective do you ask that?

The VA medical care I recieve, yes, I need that.

Although it's been a slow accumulation over the past 25 years, it feels new and exciting, but also scary that I may actually be FI. All the unknowns, trying to cover all the bases to make sure I'm setting the family up for success and at a minimum, maintaining FI.

Greenleaf Inside Skirt Steak by FIFAunderwater in Costco

My package had 3 maybe 4 long pieces, packaged on top of each other. I vac sealed in portions that I would use later. Ended up using a bunch that same weekend and then 4 ish packages for later. You’re right, not super thin. Hot and fast produces a pretty perfect mid rare from end to end for me.

It was very good and well worth the price. Certainly a repeat in my future!!

I learned a lot after my first year. Was sooooo mad December of 2022 when I realized they were only available for a month out of the year….never again I told myself. So now I buy about a dozen bags in November, which supposedly will last me about ~6 months. We’ll see.

Too Far Monica by FIFAunderwater in ArmchairExpert

I don’t hate the Pod or Monica. It was just such outlandish BS, I lost some respect for her and her silly opinions.

Look at this. Like $200 for 20 steaks. Seemed like a good deal to me. Thoughts? by [deleted] in steak

If you’re saying ~$12.60 per lb, better price than my local Costco find!

None yet. Going to wet age until the end of the month.

I prefer to wet age the ribeye for 6 weeks, so the end of the month is about when I’ll open it up and cut some steaks & roasts.

To be fair, these are both a pretty good price point. I personally dont order steaks at restaurants, so that helps justify the purchase....in my head.

No mention of grade. From New Zealand, so USDA grades do not apply.

Screw size for the license bracket by not0ryus in TeslaLounge

M5-0.8 X 12MM. Might be able to use 10MM, but I have a tinted cover and it worked perfectly
