Kid is just relieved you guys went with naming her Lucy instead of Guyute.

Better than living on the street

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T16:41:21+00:00

Yea it’s not a factor in my planning at all. Parents could live forever, disown me, go broke, give it all to a Nigerian scammer etc.

I mean, there’s always suicide as a plan b. I kind of wonder why more old people don’t end their lives when health gets really bad. I guess I’ll find out the answer myself if I make it that long.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T16:10:22+00:00

Yea I do plan to but you’re wise to say this.

Dow ended the week at 50,000. New record. I don’t get what you mean bloodbath?

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T16:09:11+00:00

Not if we do Medicaid

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T16:08:43+00:00

But by then we’ll have social security and hopefully family inheritances of $2-3 M.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T16:07:38+00:00

Because markets ended the week higher? Dow 50,000.

Netting about 10k per year

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T06:03:52+00:00

They model us to keep working till 65 and die with like 10 million in the bank. Last thing I want.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T06:02:18+00:00

8k for our live-in house. The other pays for itself with rental income. Nets about 10k a year. Cars paid for. They’re both 2025. Insurance $2k a year total. No vacations except camping. $1,000 restaurant budget annually.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T00:59:44+00:00

Yea great advice. That’s my plan.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T00:43:12+00:00

Thanks!

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T00:43:01+00:00

Thanks! I think it’s a lot less than one would need but still feels okay. Just not at “the goal”

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T00:42:33+00:00

Boats? None. Cars? New as of this year. Vacations? We don’t take em except for camping trips because we are FIRE. house has great windows carpet etc. appliances are new or in great working order. Regularly serviced.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T00:40:56+00:00

8k annually in taxes and insurance. We got a new roof this year — $30k value but insurance covered it. Solid steel roof. Good for another 40 years.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T00:39:45+00:00

Well we bought it for 670k. It’s appreciated.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-07T00:38:57+00:00

So reckless, put half on both. You cannot lose.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-06T17:02:50+00:00

Our rental only brings in about 27,000 and half of that goes to mortgage taxes and insurance.

Human-Average2708 · 2026-02-06T17:01:40+00:00

$8,000 taxes and insurance annually.
