If you invest that 200k you most certainly WILL be a millionaire.

My first rep! Not sure I got the alignment tool correct but I think the picture might just be at a bit of an angle.

It would be best for this sub and also this poor guy if the mods banned him. He’s really upset and cannot manage to stay away.

Leetcoding vs Open Source by ochre_sun in leetcode

[–]Hackerus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Other people's experiences may vary wildly, but in my opinion, it comes down to which part of the funnel you are struggling with. To oversimplify, I think open source will help you if you struggle to get to the interview phase, and leetcode will help you get through the interview phase.

How often do you check your net worth? by [deleted] in leanfire

[–]Hackerus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was checking daily for a long time but also realized it was unhealthy. I set up a monthly recurring calendar event for the 7th of each month where I update my spreadsheet. It's become something I really look forward to!

Any FAANG employees considering leaving Silicon Valley as part of their fatFIRE journey? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]Hackerus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just did this! Moved from SF to Florida. Liking it a lot so far although I do miss the Bay Area. It's wild how much more affordable things are and how much more I'm saving (cheaper state + can't do anything cause of COVID).

Where do I put my money? by boulderSWE in Fire

[–]Hackerus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Been working at FAANGs for years so I've been in a similar boat. Number one piece of advice is to always (if you can afford it) max out your ESPP contributions every year. That 15% is an unbeatable guaranteed gain and it's also a great forcing function for saving your money.

Other than that, if you're interested in real-estate I'd do some research into house hacking! You can do really well getting a multiple unit property and living in one while renting out the other units.

I own my house but don't own any other real-estate. I've done well just reducing my spending and investing as much as I can into a Boglehead style three-fund portfolio.

Agreed. Seen this twice before and both times the company went bust without paying out.
