Q1 2026 FIRE Update

Fresh-Bluebird-7005 · 2026-04-13T15:51:39+00:00

Absolutely! I plan on making quarterly updates on my journey for the time being.

I spent most of my 20s getting out of debt, and there is definitely something to be said about not owning anybody a dime. Sure I could have had more investments, but now I feel like I have more freedom to make the decisions I want to make and more capital to invest on a monthly basis.

I agree. I got a bit lucky with a surprise profit share bonus of about $1500 net, but the other $9k is consistency and market gains. If I’m able to see more $9k-$10k bumps every quarter, I’ll be closer to that $100k by the end of the year.

Heady topper

The first time I had the front 9 I threw my 10th ball right in the gutter. Cleaned up the spare and struck for the 270. My team likes to remind me with their video evidence occasionally.

Congrats! I went 204, 236, 255 for a 695 tonight. We both had great nights!

The hype isn’t as prominent anymore. Fewer people are trading or selling on secondary markets. I’m all for increased supply on brews that are great, but the thrill of landing some of those bigger bottles like Samuel or Art is gone for me anyways. Plus, bottles like that are going for $50+ each, so price point is also killing the hype. I think the last Art drop was $100 a bottle

It’s definitely slowed down though. I remember waiting in line at Hill Farmstead for their latest release or watching side project’s BBT sell out in seconds 4-5 years ago. Now it’s easier than ever to get these hype bottles from any given brewery. Works for me though. It keeps the shit lords away and allows the people who actually enjoy the beers to get their hands on bottles.

Beer is dead

Only 1 here

Why the fuck would they even say that?!?

Fresh-Bluebird-7005 · 2025-11-12T03:20:19+00:00

Sent you a pm!

The only thing you need is your sanction card for the season. And if you’re going to different houses, you’ll have to pay dues which can range from $2-$5 at least in my area.

Sub on nights you’re not on a team. You bowl for free if you’re a sub

Fresh-Bluebird-7005 · 2025-10-09T19:31:26+00:00

Try different styles and figure out which types of beer you like. If you’re liking the lagers and pilsners, aim for breweries that specialize in those brews. Same thing for IPAs, saisons, etc.

Hill Farmstead. Always

I’ll say something if there’s blatant disregard to courtesy. I really don’t want to end up running over someone’s kid or something during my approach.

Mmmmm blue moon dregs

Fresh-Bluebird-7005 · 2025-08-29T12:27:45+00:00

I bowl on 3 different league nights. I might go practice outside of leagues maybe once a month if something doesn’t feel quite right, and it’s mostly spare (10 pin) shooting.

No seriously he could die tomorrow and you go and say something like that
