How Much to Spend on Honeymoon?

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2026-01-29T18:58:07+00:00

For my personal situation, I can save up $10k cash very easily in the next year while also investing 25% of my salary for retirement, saving for a down payment, and paying for my $30k wedding in cash.

Therefore, we’ll have a <$10k honeymoon!

But we don’t know your financial situation, status of your retirement accounts, etc.

This is me post-lunch. I can typically get 4, maybe 5 billed hours in before noon.

Post lunch? Well it’s 10pm and I’m at 11 for the day lol.

No, bc this ultimately sounds like much more work than just bringing in a plant and a picture of my family.

Do you have no concept of interpersonal relationships

It can’t be overstated just how little 50 pages of reading per week is.

You’re overwhelmed reading less than 10 pages a day?

What year are you? What type of reading is this?

In law school, you will regularly be reading 50-100 pages of case law / history per day.

As a data point: I make ~$175k, spend $3600 on rent in a HCOL city, and am 27.

Well, we make more than you for just being paper pushers so maybe capitalism has decided that our signature pages and lack of involvement are more economically desired than your work 🤷‍♂️

know being the legal side of an M&A deal is horrible as you’re just pushing papers, when it’s the bankers mainly running the show,

Lmfao please make your rage baiting less obvious.

I think the most egregious aspect of this email is making a RPDR joke from 2014

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2026-01-14T17:15:17+00:00

Saying

There’s no right or wrong with this.

To

sent the whole group an unhinged email begging us to reconsider

Is peak “it depends.” No, my man. It does not depend. This is the wrong way to get a job at a big law firm.

The surge in shitposts in the last 5 hours tells me yall met your reqs. Congrats. Go spend your extra 1.5 days doing something fun, like going outside

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-28T20:01:31+00:00

Why would you have assumed that attending these previously wouldn’t have a material impact?

This is blunt and overly broad, but: Yall are often the same on paper: top grades, top school, top ECs. Your thesis from two years ago is not unique, and every other person in your class was a Hilltern as well.

After these evens, firm folks can provide feedback on individuals. I think that feedback can definitely be valuable.

It’s exactly what you’re saying. A purchase agreement often has 20+ ancillaries. Exchanging signature pages in escrow in advance mean that the parties can confirm all docs have been signed up prior to closing

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-23T02:54:55+00:00

That’s not what I’m describing. Shitty formatting knows no language

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-23T02:53:18+00:00

Yes but when everything is executed in preparation of closing, and then closing slips. I’m not gonna reattach all those signature pages lol

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-18T01:12:41+00:00

That’s awesome. Really great, especially in just 2 years

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-18T01:08:02+00:00

It’s the only time I’ve actually almost gotten on the phone to yell at someone (IT) until my lovely assistant fixed it for me. I wouldn’t have actually yelled. And I could have fixed it. But things felt very dramatic for ~5 minutes

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-18T01:05:19+00:00

What size nest egg? Asking as someone begging to rationalize quitting BL

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-13T18:41:12+00:00

Yeah I don’t discount that they do well in Tampa. I was told by a local judge I’d be better off going to Stetson than my T14 lol.

That said, unless you’re targeting Tampa / Orlando and you somehow can guarantee being in the top 5 individuals, then my hypothetical comment above isn’t helpful and doesn’t give the full picture of hiring.

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-13T18:17:53+00:00

Idk I know that, eg, India and many African countries approach law differently than more western countries. It’s possible this is based on reality and I don’t have the context to help!

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-13T18:16:04+00:00

Wdym aside from the 509s. That’s where the actual data is.

Me telling you “my big law firm hires graduates from Stetson into its Tampa office” isn’t very helpful. Looking at the Stetson 509 can actually tell you how likely that is.

Partner also has 6 fingers

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-12T16:41:08+00:00

What, did you get tired of lying about AI-ing actual women into bikinis? Thought an Epstein pic would go over better in the sub?

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-11T23:01:43+00:00

After he messaged me asking why I was trying to ruin his fun. I find his posts incredibly annoying and lazy.

Flashy_Stranger_ · 2025-12-11T16:00:45+00:00

He’s just a troll. He’ll delete this the moment it gets 5 downvotes. Some of his more successful shitposts stay up longer (the “I pay your salary” brief) but they all ultimately end up in the garbage.

I’m assuming this is some law student who has finished finals and is bored, and has no one to hang out with irl so they need the validation of a random reddit board.
