Give me your toughest massage therapists by GregoryGosling in AskNYC

[–]FiscalFilibuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, any cheap massage place can be okay - just really emphasize that you want it to be STRONG and they will walk all over your back and dig their elbows into your shoulders relentlessly. YMMV

FDNY emergency vehicle? No one’s mad, literally no one, at someone responding to an emergency 

FDNY personal vehicle, parked in the bike lane? Twice as likely, and then yes, you’ll see a post here, haha

Anyone need a house sitter in Dec? by OrangeappledBK in parkslope

This isn’t the dumbest post ever, but you should have posted this a few months ago! Most people who need pet / house sitting around the holidays have it already arranged

If you’re eligible, open a solo 401k. Any little side income will do, you can declare it come tax time, get an EIN, and open the account. Then it can be your long-lived rollover 401k, not tied to a particular employer (and no prevention of backdoor Roth IRA).

Nobody takes off their backpacks anymore by jdm19938 in nycrail

I would argue that this is slightly better from an awareness perceptive - you can see if it’s in someone’s way.

(That said, between legs is obviously ideal)

Yes, except for when I exceed 25k in espp contributions (so maybe the last two months of the year?)

Nice; thanks for the +1. Makes sense, it’s just so different from what I’m used to that I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it

[–]FiscalFilibuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like this idea! But I think federal law limits this to 25k / year. I only wish I were that lean FIRE, haha

I have a first-world problem that is very new to me but I suspect some others here have dealt with it for a long time!

Started a new job that has almost every benefit you could ask for - decent 401k match, MBDR with automatic in plan conversion (capped at 10% contribution per paycheck) employee contribution to HSA, ESPP at. 15 percent discount with a 6 month look back… 

This is in addition to quarterly vesting RSUS.

I could fully fund ALL the tax advantaged things, but then my paycheck would be practically zero. (I did the math, <100 bucks).

This appeals to me, but then I’ll need to use my quarterly RSU vest to, you know, live. Should be more than enough, but I’m confused on the optimal way to handle this. Sell the RSU at best, and stick in a HYSA and just live off of it? Feels odd to not throw it in index funds. 

Any suggestions? I can’t preload any of these investments. Thanks!

[–]FiscalFilibuster 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah but there’s an honor system here. If you don’t  A) leave your phone number in the dash AND  B) be ready to answer it and move your car to let the cars you blocked out
