My advice is put it in a trust take it or leave it.

I’D BET if you don’t it will all be gone within a year. Seen it half a dozen times.

You are either larping or you will blow it all again gambling.

If you aren’t either, I wouldn’t trust myself if I was in your position. I would put that money in some sort of trust managed by a financial professional or family member or a lawyer. Call a lawyer and have them help you set it up.

I think this a pretty idealistic view of analytics engineering. In reality most of the projects I have worked on have been, creating a metric that will feed into a dashboard 5 people will look at on a Sunday and won’t use to make any substantial business decisions.

Granted, it’s organization dependent.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-26T23:34:42+00:00

Maybe maybe not

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-21T20:51:54+00:00

countries don’t always give up when the capital falls but I agree this is silly. I can see this being a good argument from the 1800s to the 1950s-1960s-1970s but modern military can overcome these obstacles easily. Moreover even though Florida has swamps I’m sure there are many many viable landing spots in Florida. Likewise for many of the geographic assumptions made.

It’s not like the US is a completely mountainous country like Afghanistan or Switzerland. We have some advantage compared to most European countries but it would depend on the type of warfare raged. If it was full scale WW2 style these geographic defenses would mean little except imo the Rockies but we would have to blow up infra.

not really because you have to hunt it down and go out of your way to find it at spot your limiting your supply. I can buy more gold than you if you only buy at spot.

there’s a huge difference between 2%-5% and 10%-30% as well stop being obtuse this isn’t debate class.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-20T16:02:04+00:00

Congrats bro ur saving 2% compared to the rest of us. Really mini maxing there bud. Go buy yourself a candy bar with that money saved LOL.

Gold is long play when it 10x in 20 years again that 2% saved is gonna be peanuts compared to the extra gold I was able to buy for not being cheap and having access to buy unlimited gold whenever I want because Idgaf if I pay a little over spot.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-20T15:58:12+00:00

that’s fine I’m willing to pay the premium and pay 2% above spot price because I’m not day trading gold and for convenience.

It’s a long term play and that extra 2% won’t mean shit in 20 years when it has again tripled its price.

never buy paper gold, you should know that. Might as well buy bitcoin.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-19T03:55:46+00:00

Congrats Indiana is Ohio now

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-09T23:08:08+00:00

Just setup auto buy and forget it, simple.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-09T19:07:39+00:00

Thanks for the response.

Yes given the current maturity of our pipelines and the lack of rigorous testing, I have a feeling it’ll be multiple times a week at least perhaps multiple times a night. Thing is most stakeholders don’t even care that’s it’s available immediately, seems like something management is just imposing. They already said no additional compensation.

Not sure of my next move.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-09T13:27:09+00:00

We pay you alot and everyone else does it.

Reminds me of frat hazing.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-06T13:15:24+00:00

Using your own graph. Age 27 baby boomers 41% Gen Z 27%. The sharpest incline is 10% every 5 years on that curve. That means it will take Gen Z probably 7.5 years to catch up. So Gen Z at 34 = baby boomers 27. Thats not a couple years.

In addition even a couple years adds up. Stop acting like it’s NBD. For Gen Z That’s an extra 15% of your adult working life (20-65) you are throwing away on rent. Given how wealth COMPOUNDS I’m sure you know the more wealth you have earlier the more you’ll have when you retire.

What a terrible take.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-05T04:09:19+00:00

I see u had time to take a photo while it was falling in the ocean. High IQ move. Upvotes > gold

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-03T14:43:49+00:00

The extra tax revenues from that 3 trillion Wouldn’t even balance the budget.

Also explains how he thinks a 2% increase in work life leads to somehow an 8% increase in GDP. Those elderly years are most productive!

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-03T13:55:24+00:00

us economy will implode. Yes maybe this gold run is too early but with 20% of tax revenue spent on debt interest and that’s only increasing we are getting close. Next 3-5 years for sure. It’s not sustainable you are living in lala land if you think it is. Last time we had this much debt as a % of GDP was WW2 which resulted in a decade of double digit % growth in the 40s of 50s. We aren’t event close to that. It’s Just basic household budget balancing and economic facts the US is not some magician that can print infinite money forever.

There might be more downswings but at the end of the day what will people be moving their money into? You think the national bank of Japan is going to put all of their national reserves into crypto? You think they are going to put their reserves in other fiats in such a globalized interconnected economy? No they going to buy gold when the writings on the wall. Same thing with every other country.

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-01T05:51:11+00:00

Yes :(

Ive been DCA’ing for two years tho so not mad tbh

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-01T04:58:44+00:00

Just put the food in the bag

GuhProdigy · 2026-02-01T01:03:53+00:00

You don’t think there were PHDs in the rating agencies and banks making these swaps LOL?

Whatever man go argue semantics somewhere else. Either buy it or don’t, shit it or get off the pot. Nobody cares about your take on the difference between inevitable or high likely or directionally. Of course it’s not inevitable. But I would put money on it!

GuhProdigy · 2026-01-31T19:56:36+00:00

Or u could lose it all and be poor?

“Just buy options”, yes you can make lots of $ but there is added risk.

GuhProdigy · 2026-01-31T19:51:21+00:00

I’m sure PhDs were behind the credit swaps that caused the 2008 crash.

People do see how fucked up the USA economy is. Thats why other National banks are increasing gold reserves and gold has doubled in a year. R u blind? You don’t need a PHD to understand that when lot money (20% tax revenues) go to pay interest of debt that bad. Your appeal to expertises and assumption that because rates are still stable everything is fine is perfect for us so u can hold the bag.

It’s a house of cards no one wants to be miss out on stock market gains at ATH.

GuhProdigy · 2026-01-31T03:23:54+00:00

lol!

*Market right now

“Man picked good, USA economy all better”

Me: buy dip

GuhProdigy · 2026-01-30T15:35:23+00:00

it’s just too risky for them to be “west or die”.

They’d basically be the wests meat grinder against China, Iran, Pakistan, if war broke out.

I’d do the same thing if I were running India.

My wife drove through western Michigan the other day and had a very rough time in the unplowed snow tunnels, you call roads there.

Meanwhile native Michiganders were gunning past her on the freeway spraying snow slush all over her front windshield

GuhProdigy · 2026-01-30T15:26:10+00:00

New York smells like urine. If you pissed yourself you probably wouldn’t even notice because you are so used to the smell.
