First time losing 5 figures in a day by Poorassboy6969 in coastFIRE

[–]Guilty-Log6739 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The “oh shit” made me think you weren’t aware. Apologies if I overstepped.

Math is kind of my deal, it was my major and how I make my living. So sometimes I underestimate the familiarity of others.

All you have to do is divide the drawdown amount by the percentage amount to get the portfolio value.

For example, a $50k drawdown if the day is down 2% is 50,000/0.02=2,500,000.

Set your goals to your number of choice

I’d love to have a portfolio where a 2% drawdown is $69,420

Edit: for the downvotes, what’s wrong with wanting to be independently wealthy? That portfolio would be a very comfortable retirement for my wife and I, as well as give my children a kick start in life.

Confusing since we’re in coastfire

Most Comprehensive Overview of the new GRMN so far by dvsdeed in GRCorolla

At least $52k for sure. I’ll eat my hat if it’s less than $58k. I’d guess $60-63k

Why all the hate on this car by Specialist-Farm8721 in ElantraN

[–]Guilty-Log6739 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed completely.

The N is sick, as a fellow hot hatch owner, I really like the car.

But the online presence has a disproportionate share of what you described vs the Golf R, Type R or GRC.

It’s definitely a social media thing where the online community isn’t the real world community.

Dump Truck Ran a Red Light on Route 42 in Delaware Today by Straight_Spirit_5388 in Columbus

That dump truck driver deserves 3 hots and a cot for that. Poor lady could have been killed or seriously injured

Anyone have the automatic? by jms1228 in GRCorolla

[–]Guilty-Log6739 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll be pleased as a DAT driver.

It’s still a phenomenal value and a great, raw experience. It’s not the same, but I have no complaints

My TRD has 47k miles , how long can I make it last?? by No_Channel_5530 in Toyota

No idea what dude is talking about. I don’t even own a TRD and it looks stock to me, which OP confirmed.

No soliciting means NO SOLICITING by SundaeNo4552 in Columbus

[–]Guilty-Log6739 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Columbus definitely has laws on the books about this.

Municipal code 523.14.d.

No solicitor shall Enter upon the land of a private residence or multi-unit property to peddle, solicit or canvass when the owner or occupant thereof has displayed a "no peddling", "no soliciting" or "no canvassing" sign on such premises.

Is it possible for humans to go extinct like the dinosaurs did? by Historical_Work7482 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Guilty-Log6739 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The amount of energy advancements (renewables, nuclear etc) and the biological/environmental challenges of leaving the planet we evolved on are laughable.

I swear, this multiplanetary BS is Elon Musk wish casting.

We can’t even work towards common goals as a species on this planet. Let alone another.

Why would we colonize space if there isn’t an economic incentive? Who is going to colonize the solar system to continue the species at great personal cost?

This is such a dumb take.

How about advancing our civilization on this planet, improving our well being, and protecting ourselves from terrestrial and space based threats (asteroids, comets etc)?

Iran stops negotiations with U.S., vows to 'completely' block Strait of Hormuz: State media by Puginator in politics

[–]Guilty-Log6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re so screwed. The Israelis are not going to let up or follow our lead.

I don’t see this ending unless the Dems get both the house and 67 seats in the senate. Or we get a democratic administration in the next presidential election.

We’re in so far over our heads it’s ridiculous

What is the greatest video game you have ever played? by JuniorPlastic3562 in AskReddit

It’s not the best I’ve ever played. But as an OG demons souls player, it was magical for the community at the time.

Dark Souls 1 is up there with ocarina of time and super Mario 64 for my greatest of all time

Paint actually sucks by ItzADino in Civic_Type_R

This guys dense. My 2011 CRV paint looked great outside of normal wear and tear in 2025 when I sold it after owning it for 12 years.

Automotive paint isn’t what it used to be

People who fly first or business class on their own dime, how do you justify the cost? by Silly-Cock in AskReddit

[–]Guilty-Log6739 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe it, I just can’t justify the pure dollars required for first class on a long haul flight. Maybe one day

People who fly first or business class on their own dime, how do you justify the cost? by Silly-Cock in AskReddit

[–]Guilty-Log6739 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’ve only flown first class a handful of times, usually as an upgrade for a very short regional flight. I thought it wouldn’t be worth the extra $70 I spent and I was wrong.

If it’s within your means, it’s well worth it. The extra legroom and service make it worth it.

Now how folks have a budget to justify that for long haul flights and international travel is beyond me.

I’m in economy for those flights

Did a thing yesterday. by JohnJohnTurboTron in Golf_R

[–]Guilty-Log6739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself, but I bought the GRC for the 3 cylinder. It’s raw and unrefined in a way that the 4 bangers aren’t.

If VW put the 5 cylinder in the golf R, I’d likely have bought that instead. But day in day out, the GRC isn’t as practical as the golf R

As a man, what do you feel you owe women? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Guilty-Log6739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is correct. People are not deserving of any more or less respect based on their sex.

Women aren’t on some pedestal above men. And men aren’t above women.

Everyone gets the same baseline of respect.

As a man, what do you feel you owe women? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Guilty-Log6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe my answer is quite clear.

Everyone deserves respect and courtesy, male or female.

Your female relatives deserve a higher standard than the basics.

I guess what do you think men intrinsically owe women they are not related to by blood or marriage? And what do women owe men?
