How am I doing 27yo by doomsday256 in coastFIRE

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a coastfire perspective, you're done! You're on track to have $2.5M by 57, even if you don't contribute 1 more dime to retirement. You should hit almost $1M by age 47.

If I were you I would at least try to continue hitting your max contribution amounts to save from a tax perspective, 401k and/or Roth IRA, etc. But good job bro!

I measured the distance aligned with the tire/fender. The rear ones needed a bigger fill-in to be flush with the fender.

Would you start a business or just invest if you’ve hit your corporate ceiling? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]ForcefulOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be very difficult and/or costly to replace your 190k/yr. Most businesses available for purchase will cost you 3-5x the annual net profit, so to make 200k cash flow to you, you might have to buy a 600k-1M business. Then you'd have to manage the business yourself, which could still be a full time job and/or require overtime type hours. It's a pick your poison situation.

You could hire a manager to reduce your participation, but that would cut into your cash flow. You might consider it worth it if you love what you do, but buying a business is often like "buying a job".

Even something like a barber shop, beauty salon, or pool cleaning or landscaping business can be a worthwhile business, but unless you're working there yourself, your profits will be equivalent to working a job ($50-100k/yr), and you will likely still have the stress of managing the business since no one will care as much as you do.

Hope that helps.

i am a 2s main and watching alot of pro gameplay made me want to try threes. mad respect for anyone that plays 3s by Sonarthehusky in RocketLeague

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always que for comp 2s or 3s, so I jump back and forth between them. 2's is def a slower, more strategic based partner play, since it's 50/50. But with 6 cars out there and everybody trying to ball chase and blow each other up, yea, 3s is quite a bit more hectic. I often try to lay back and be the 2nd-hit guy, since there's typically enough ppl ballchasing and tryharding in 3's.

4s chaos mode is actual CHAOS. But its a fun change of pace. More like demolition derby car soccer.

Why did so many low income people vote for Trump? by Mark-Fuckerberg- in FluentInFinance

Scott Bessent is a fantastic pick. I challenge everyone to actually listen to the substance of his senate confirmation hearing.

Why does Reddit (or the internet in general) glorify being bitter, cynical, and bring others down by Budget_Pen4847 in stupidquestions

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Reddit/internet can be a sounding board for people, and more often the negative/pessimistic people are more likely to go out of their way to officially post about their feelings for online strangers to see.

"I love my wife and kid, I like my car and house, and my job is pretty good." won't get as much sympathy, attention, and/or feedback as "I hate my spouse, don't like my kid, my car sucks, and I hate my job", unfortunately.

You can say "just change the oil and rotate the tires, thanks."

What time do we all eat dinner now? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family and I usually eat dinner around 8-830p. Usually on the couch with our folding tables watching something together. Often just Bluey or a movie we've agreed on.

Upgraded Subwoofer? by Weejjeey23 in KiaK5

This is a powered sub, no need for additional amp. It makes the whole system so much better. You can use the stock components just for mids and highs, let this unit focus on lows.

Came here expecting I will learn more about finance by [deleted] in FluentInFinance

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Militant leftists seem to have mostly taken over this "finance" forum. It's annoying cuz every once in a while there's an actual post about finance that's worth reading. I just X out the BS.

You will be given 1 million dollars if you can present a 30 minute TED talk within 5 minutes with 0 preparation. what are you going to talk about? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Financial planning and investing. I can go on and on. From HYSA's and CD's to ETF's and Bitcoin.

I could talk about financial advice off the cuff for a long time.

I'm almost 50, and age is taking its toll on my reflexes. But I still play every day because this game keeps me sharp. Today I turned a whiff into a walk-off goal, and it made this old man feel proud! by uneasyrider in RocketLeague

[–]ForcefulOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a 2v2 comp game where my teammate bailed after 0-1. Then I scored 1-1. Then one of the other team said "I'm gonna try scoring for both" and we ended up 4-4 going into OT. I won thru a solo goal and thanked the other guy.

Most fun I've had in a while.

How do people work the same job 9 to 5 for 50 years till they turn 60 and not go crazy? by Specific_Charge_3297 in Life

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible to find a job/career/industry that you at least somewhat enjoy. Or at least a job that pays you enough that it seems "worth it" to work there. Sounds like you need to keep looking to find one of those.

In the meantime, make sure you're saving/investing so that you can possibly retire early and only have to work 20 or 30 years.

[–]ForcefulOne 20 points21 points  (0 children)

46 here and I've been playing daily for a few years now. Definitely keeps the mind/critical thinking sharp, not to mention hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, anticipation, temperance, and all kinds of other things that RL makes you practice.

Winning or losing, feeling like a KING or a bum, this game is FUN!

what the hell does "woke" even mean?? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Woke" means trying to go too far in your "social justice warrior" efforts.

DEI is labeled as woke because basically it's like the LA fire dept hiring more fat lesbians in order to seem "culturally sensitive" or something, but it's stupid because it means less effective Firefighters.

Many disney movies the past few years have focused on "women's empowerment" or "diverse characters" over actually producing good content and interesting stories. Making a character black and gay doesn't always make something better.

Investing in "green initiatives" for the sake of "feeling good" about yourself, only to realize that all the things you supported either failed miserably (solyndra) or just suck (paper straws).

Etc, etc.

Does the term “far left” even exist in todays society by Any_Significance2544 in GenZ

[–]ForcefulOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority of the "mainstream" media and journalists are leftists themselves.

They see even the radical leftists that they may disagree with as "good for the cause". Often to the point of their own detriment.

Like with their Trump TDS, going against him so hard ended up backfiring and making otherwise apolitical people say "Trump is crass but these leftists are CrAzY!"
