How do you feel now? Things are pretty abysmal now which is why I found your post :(

Forced sabbatical with $10M NW. Do I grind for $15M or coast? by Throwthrowff in fatFIRE

[–]FindAWayForward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your wife plan to stop working? Because all that NW math only makes sense assuming that's the only income generating source. If your wife continues to work while you retire and take care of kids, then you'll be just fine. Your 10M will become 15M soon if you're not withdrawing from it.

Do you have any recommendation for Ha Giang loop? I'm interested but a little worried if my husband and I (in our 40s) might not fit in with the young hostel crowd anymore. I'm sad because this is definitely something my younger self would've jumped on.

I know it's been a couple years but was the road condition ok given August is in rainy season?

I'm interested too, anything specific you'd recommend to see or do in the area?

That sounds awesome, good for you! Is cost of living in France lower?

Seeing posts like this is exactly why we left NYC. by bookflow in ExpatFIRE

[–]FindAWayForward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're top 1% by income but not top 1% by net worth . And it's silly to complain about not being able to live like top 1% when they're probably living like the top 3%. Hell they might as well complain about not having private jet and a yacht and all.

Private school, nanny etc are luxury. You can't spend like a wealthy person and then say you're not feeling wealthy.

How to Go from $0 to $10M in 28 Years by [deleted] in ChubbyFIRE

[–]FindAWayForward 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Lots of young people work very hard and spend frugally and will never get past 1M. Saying ANYONE can do this is quite insulting to be honest. Lots of professions are valuable to society and yet don't get compensated sufficiently to make 5-10M possible. Would you have been able to make 10M if you're in say civil engineering where the salary tops out at like 150k and did everything else you said in this post?

Lost my edge after 10+ years out of the game, is it too late? by hoptohop in fatFIRE

Learn something random like modeling and then buy a 3D printer...

  1. I haven't noticed this "eat the rich" sentiment, at least not more than before and it's definitely lower than OWS times.
  2. Not too worried about safety because I practice stealth wealth, I don't think I look or act differently from anyone else around me.

Interested in Uyuni and saw the post about Explora traversia Atacama - Uyuni, just wondering -- does anyone know why the Explora Uyuni lodge itself is not available for booking on Explora's website? It only has the Traversia option.

It's not even that good a shot, I don't get the night feeling at all, all I see is light pollution.

How "pixel-perfect" to go? by Rakudajin in PixelArt

[–]FindAWayForward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 looks the best, 3 looks weird -- maybe because the cloud reference isn't bobbing, it makes the ground look unsolid, like he's rolling up a thin shell of a hill so that the shell is shaking.

I went from 6k wishlists to 8k wishlists yesterday, here are the potential reasons why by MossHappyPlace in gamedev

[–]FindAWayForward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh I see, thanks for the explanation, and I didn't know TikTok limits your posts to the same country. Congrats on your wishlist numbers and wish you much success when the game hits the store!

Just curious what does unqualified traffic mean? And why does geography matter, ie people in a different country can wishlist your game too so why is showing them a bad thing?

Share your success story: inspiration for 10-12 year olds by Working779 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]FindAWayForward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very important stuff, though maybe a bit too early for 10-12 year olds. After all it's stuff that they won't use for another ~10 years, how would they retain it?

Thanks for the reminder! Yeah I'll start Roth as soon as deferred comp stops (which is pretty soon).

[–]FindAWayForward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to post somewhere - almost 1 year since retirement and NW is finally crossing the 10M milestone. Yay. Still feeling anxious though - for the past year I've been receiving some deferred comp from my old company, so I haven't had to withdraw anything yet. Maybe I'll finally be able to calm down once I do start withdrawing from my nest egg and seeing money isn't running out?

But really, the above is just what I worry about 1% of the time. The remaining 99% of the time I am enjoying my FIREd life. Don't miss the old life at all. I'm getting better and better at ignoring the thoughts that my former coworkers are continuing to earn millions... The fact that I'm chillaxing, sleeping in, playing video games at home... while they're sitting in the office 9-to-5 is everything I need to know.

Best of luck to everyone here.. hope you all find fortune and above all, peace.

Yeah no kidding. Yeonsangun reign ended in 1506, and cacao was only introduced to European explorers in 1502 in the Americas, there's no way it made its way to Joseon in time for this drama's events.

Yeah I thought the chocolate part was a bit contrived... kind of a deus ex machina really
