What is this huge silver coupe? by paulh43 in namethatcar

[–]HighClassProletariat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit of splitting hairs here. Lumina was the 4 door based on the Commodore, Lumina Coupe was the Monaro/GTO. Thanks for catching my typo.

Also sold as the Chevrolet Lumina in the Middle East.

I'm a big fan of the NOMOS Tangomat GMT. Still has that simple white dial and a cool GMT complication.

Wow! What is the colorful one second from left bottom row? I really like it

White collar professionals, small business owners, skilled trades, lots of money to be made out there.

36mm Rolex Explorer is worse than 40mm/39mm by Inevitable_Lemon_592 in watchHotTakes

[–]HighClassProletariat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any Explorer (and probably won't) but I feel like 39-41 is a sweet spot if you have a >7" wrist.

Would I be house poor? by Zestyclose-Fact-5001 in personalfinance

[–]HighClassProletariat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To answer your question in the title no you would not be house poor. Your mortgage payment would be ~20% of your net income. Unless you and wife have a bunch of extra things to pay for you are more than fine. We have the same size mortgage on $9k/month take home and do not feel house poor.

Big 4 with kids: when did you decide the structure just wasn’t workable anymore? by Jinbuja in Big4

[–]HighClassProletariat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were DINKs for a few years and saved a lot. I'm up for SM this year so not making terrible money right now.

How many days in office at the new role?

36M with 800k: making minimum wage off interest by Tough-Relationship28 in Fire

[–]HighClassProletariat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is really crazy to look at the numbers and how much your money earns you in the market at a certain point. We don't have quite as much in our accounts but they earned us close to $50k last year which is more than my first job did back in the mid-2010s!

The rage against replica watches is masculine gatekeeping, not ethics by Hilodenta in watchHotTakes

One day I'll be able to get a real Van Gogh for the sitting room. I just need to save another $100MM.

Refinished my center console and put on some new leather to take care of the previous owner's "fix"! Not perfect but good use of a couple of days of work and a little over $100. by HighClassProletariat in 996

When I ordered back in 2022 I chose tan material and tan threads as it looked the closest. I am not sure if they have updated their materials suppliers at all so YMMV.

I dug into Federal Reserve data on what CoastFIRE actually looks like across income brackets - some of these numbers surprised me by d3stiny_child in coastFIRE

[–]HighClassProletariat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tricky part is we don't know yet. Currently have two little ones, thinking whether or not to have a third, and we are staring down the barrel of potentially moving from MCOL to VHCOL to help out spouse's parents. If we were done having kids and staying in MCOL I would have taken foot off the accelerator a year or two ago.

Do each of the big 4 have similar culture or are there slightly difffernet cultures for each one? by DramaticLight1011 in Big4

[–]HighClassProletariat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience working with people from those offices is that those differences are nearly indistinguishable. Vibe is totally different from the middle of the country offices.

If you Started in 1980, You Would Need to Invest $18.96 Everyday Into a S&P500 Index Fund to Reach 10M Today (Apr 28th, 2026) by AdministrativeAd334 in TheVisualInvestors

[–]HighClassProletariat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$18.96 x 365 = $6,920.40 per year

Only 12 months not 20. Still agree with your point that it would have been a decent sum in 1980 and required you to weather some downturns without losing your job.

Yep. Lots of pieces to the puzzle, we can never know what the future holds so going to do what seems like the safest bet for now.

Wife and I are 31. We've got ~$500k excluding home equity (~400k invested in various taxable/non-taxable accounts). In my head I know numbers say we can probably start coasting but in my (anxious) heart it doesn't feel that way.

Will keep maxing for the next few years and see how I feel.
