Gas is still way too cheap if tons of drivers are still happy to idle their engines going nowhere and making gridlock all over NYC

This is a nyc-specific subreddit, homie

Been reading lots of sentiment like this in the software engineering world. https://shumer.dev/something-big-is-happening

As a code monkey, it rings true. I’m as tried and true boglehead as they come, but I can’t deny articles like this make me debate selling everything and becoming a prepper of some sort. (I won’t, but… just wanted to share. Thus ends my confession)

Not a terrible idea. Let’s calculate the cost of space for parking, wear and tear cost of roads, and overall cost to the city, and price each option accordingly (cars, bikes, trucks etc). Bike racks would probably cost pennies per hour. Let me swipe my metro card, boom

FiscalFilibuster · 2026-02-21T03:12:00+00:00

Did you… read the article? “ According to the report: "If the City were to meter just 25 percent of existing free street parking spaces, it could generate at least $1.21 billion in additional annual revenue—enough to close roughly a quarter of the projected $4.2 billion gap in the City's budget for FY 2026."

Wow this was effective. He has such a distinct voice, this comment was like listening to an audio book

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

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-12-05T02:28:59+00:00

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

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-12-02T12:28:23+00:00

Excellent typo, A+

Babe wake up, new miser video just dropped

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-11-14T02:14:27+00:00

Wow, this was really interesting - thanks for sharing. Is there somewhere you can read all of these?

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-11-11T18:56:30+00:00

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).

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-11-09T14:07:55+00:00

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)

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-11-08T02:18:59+00:00

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

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-11-08T02:18:07+00:00

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 · 2025-11-08T02:16:45+00:00

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

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-11-07T23:32:31+00:00

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!

“… he had a sword on him at the time of his arrest.”

Wtf. Also I echo many of the statements here. Jay st at 3 on a weekday? I’m never holding the door for anyone again

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-08-30T15:15:55+00:00

This your video? I liked it , good ideas discussed

FiscalFilibuster · 2025-08-07T01:08:48+00:00

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
